MGB officer Leo is a man who never questions the Party Line. He arrests whomever he is told to arrest.

But suddenly his confidence that everything he does serves a great good is shaken. He is forced to watch a man he knows to be innocent be brutally tortured. And then he is told to arrest his own wife. Leo understands how the State works: Trust and check, but check particularly on those we trust. He faces a stark choice: his wife or his life. And still the killings of children continue...

标题可能有点儿危言耸听,但这就是我读完《44号孩子》的第一感觉。 这本书的前半部分无可挑剔,极权主义对人性的异化和压迫所制造出的阴冷和压抑感觉几乎要溢出书来,这些控诉并不是简单的套路说教,而是通过非常精彩流畅好看的剧情来呈现的,宛如《1984》和《窃听...
评分首先先说一下翻译,一个字,差。很多句子是明显的chinglish,看着中文我可以想象到英文原文是怎样的,比如说“这肯定会杀了他的父亲”,肯定原文为“it'll kill his father。”稍微有点翻译常识的人都应当知道,翻译成“这会让他的父亲心碎“会好很多。甚至后面还出现了彻底不...

finally finished,awesome thriller
评分完全放不下来的小说!即便知道有主角光环,全程也都忍不住担心这对夫妻的命运。画面感非常强,每章结尾都很有力,如果改成电视剧一定好看死了。
评分Surprisingly good. 语言流畅,架构合理,节奏有序,扣人心弦,很好的消遣读物。
评分这侦探小说像1984真实版,关于连环杀人案的内容其实挺少的,而且情节透露比较早,略好猜,2/3的是后男主父母那封信基本可以让人联想前因后果。剧情完全是靠奇葩的基情(误 其实是恶意 来推动的。喜欢女主角蛮讨喜的,机智勇敢而且还比较果断。
评分大片既视感。。
