图书描述

From Publishers Weekly

A complex conspiracy involving the writing of a book drives Lavender's compelling debut, a thriller that will strike some as a mix of John Fowles's The Magus and Stephen King's The Shining. At Indiana's Winchester University, three students—Brian House, Dennis Flaherty and Mary Butler—are taking Logic and Reasoning 204, taught by enigmatic Professor Williams. They quickly learn this is a course like no other. Their single assignment is to find a missing 18-year-old girl, Polly, in six weeks time—or else, Williams asserts, she will be murdered. Is this merely an academic exercise? As Williams produces clues, including photographs of Polly and her associates, the students begin to wonder where homework ends and actual homicide begins. Together with Brian and Dennis, Mary ventures off campus in search of Polly into a world of crumbling towns, decrepit trailers and hints at crimes old and new. A rapid-fire plot offsets thin characterization, though the conspiracy becomes so all-encompassing, so elaborate, that readers may feel a bit like Mary when baffled by her quest: This is what she felt like: led, played, not in control of anything she did. (Feb.)

Review

"Obedience is evidence that crime fiction is hardly a played-out genre …. [G]rafts the world-turned-upside-down suspense of a Harlan Coben thriller to the hall-of-mirrors vertigo of a novel by Paul Auster …. [I]ts ultimate implications continue to spin out in a reader’s mind after the final page is turned."

—Wall Street Journal

“Authentic puzzle mysteries are an endangered species in these hectic times, so it’s a genuine, if slightly perverse, kick to follow every byzantine clue in this bizarre game…. If you solve this one without peeking at the last chapter, it's an automatic A.”

—New York Times Book Review

"Obedience is a fiendishly clever thriller, debut or no, and Lavender exhibits deft control at the wheel."

—Bookgasm.com

"Obedience is quite a twisty little number …. the taunting nature of the challenge is irresistible….”

—New York Daily News

“[T]his is one of those high-concept thrillers with a final twist that upends all expectations, filled with characters who are not what they seem.”

—Entertainment Weekly

An inspired thriller about cognitive dissonance, conjectural misdirection and the conspicuous dichotomy between academia and the real world."

—Kirkus Reviews

“Will Lavender stuns with this compelling thriller…. The surreal but believable landscape fairly bursts from its confines, goading the reader into finishing just one more page.”

—Louisville Courier-Journal

“It’s a terrific book, part cat-and-mouse mystery and part psychological study of group behavior…. [A] wonderful book with a strong emotional punch at the end.”

—St. Petersburg Times

“Lavender’s first novel suggests he has a bright future. The novel is briskly plotted with deft narrative. Obedience builds to a swirling conclusion. It becomes a place where morality is blurred and intentions drift astray.”

—Tampa Tribune

“In his tautly strung debut novel, Obedience, literature professor Will Lavender tears a page of out Milgram’s notebooks and sets into motion a chain of events that escalates far beyond its intended intellectual exercise. . . . Mystery fans will be satisfied to hang on around the story’s hairpin turns as the list of suspects swells and narrows with the unearthing of each clue, but Lavender . . . is aiming at a broader target and posing deeper questions.”

—Bookpage

“First-time novelist Lavender has a knack for creepy characters and red herrings.”

—Library Journal

“First novelist Lavender has sprinkled his text with enough red herrings to feed the Biblical 5,000 but uses them to build page-turning suspense. . . . Lavender’s invocation of the notorious Milgram experiment conducted at Yale on obedience to authority adds an additional–and salutary–layer of psychological meaning to his elaborate plot.”

—Booklist

More Praise for Obedience:

“Obedience draws you in and never lets go — and what a ride!”

—David Baldacci

"In his dream-like and labyrinthine debut, Will Lavender delivers a clever, intricate page-turner that kept me guessing late into the night. Obedience is a house of mirrors where every corner we turn is a false reflection of the truth until the shocking final scene. A gripping exploration of human nature and all its foibles told in Lavender's fresh and original voice, Obedience is not to be missed."

—Lisa Unger

“Obedience is a very scary story set on the border where good meets evil, located in this case in that scariest of places, academia. Taut, twisty, and highly original: the pages turned themselves.”

—Peter Abrahams

"A taut and timely thriller that explores the dark side of academia, where classrooms are dangerous and paranoia abounds."

—Karin Slaughter

"A taut, clever puzzle, so artfully crafted and tightly wound that it springs open its trap when you least expect it to."

—Carol Goodman, author of The Sonnet Lover and The Ghost Orchid

"A devilishly inventive debut that reads like a house of mirrors. Nothing is what it seems, right up to the devastating finale."

—Brian Freeman, author of Stripped

不怎么推理,但很好看。小说里几次提到保罗·奥斯特的玻璃之城,语带轻蔑,甚得我心。本书的中文译本名为《失控的逻辑课》,不如原名贴切,故事的中心始终就不是逻辑,也不是推理,而是Milgram的心理学实验,这其实是本探讨心理学实验是否违背社会伦理道德的马桶读物。中文译本不尽如人意,不如直接读原文更明白流畅一些。

文不对题,逻辑混乱,结尾根本不是反转,好吧,也许这就不是本推理...题外话,当代作者是不是觉得小说里不加上ooxx就没法吸引眼球还是咋的?怀念阿婆...

说的是一教授WILLIAM在逻辑课上设了个课题,让学生帮忙找出失踪的POLLY,MARY和BRIAN, DENNIS从不断得到的信息当中发现了,这并不是单纯的一个作业,失踪的POLLY真有其人,还有可能招致杀身之祸。折腾了半天,最终发现他们只是ELIZEBETH的一个实验对象。好扯啊!故事里碎片太多了,看着比较累。

读后感

评分

【出版社工作】14/20 装帧(3/6): 虽然用黑板和粉笔写出书名的方式很切题(粉笔字看上去很逼真,尤其是那些细微的白粉颗粒),但设计上还是略显单调(比如封底只是单纯重复封面的用图,反不如全部留黑),如果刚刚见过《认得几个字》的封面马上就看到这样的封面,不知道会...  

评分

小说真的很好看。 想起许多老哥特小说,甚至让人不得不从远想起狄更斯。 从近想起《天使游戏》《风之影》的萨丰。 复杂之外,令人怦然心动。

故事的后半部分,节奏忽然加快。好像本来是开着60码的速度,突然踩了一脚油门,瞬间飙到150码的感觉。 总体还行。
