具体描述
What's it like to live in a young body and mind while struggling with ADD/ADHD? And how does it feel to have to live with a loved one suffering with this disorder? FIDGETS is an eye-opening novel written especially for teens. However, people of all ages will find this book heart-warming and thought-provoking - siblings, parents, educators, librarians, health care professionals and more. Mildred Patterson owns the THE OLD HAS-BEEN ANTIQUE SHOP in Evergreen Colorado. Her daughter, Betsy, "keeps hoping a two-ton leech will swallow up her immature, older brother and regurgitate him back up . whole and well." Eventually, and after much heartache, the Patterson family unravels the mystery, finds the culprit (ADD/ADHD) and finally makes an arrest . "a rest" well-deserved by everyone involved. After many years of total chaos, fear, frustration and little hope, this family finally finds an effective treatment; an alternative to Ritalin and other invasive-type drugs. There have been hundreds of non-fiction books written about ADD/ADHD and many are written with 'ho-hum' dry facts. FIDGETS, on the other hand, is a novel that captivates, informs and inspires readers with plenty of action, humor and clear lessons for coping with this little-understood affliction. This entertaining story concludes with a 'new sign of the times' being posted at the store: THE AIN'T WHAT IT USED TO BE ANTIQUE SHOP . symbolizing a big sigh of relief for the entire family, as well as the Evergreen community. ABOUT THE AUTHOR After living in Denver, Colorado for 32 years, Jennifer French decided it was time for a new life-adventure . and what a fabulous journey it's been thus far. So many of Jennifer's passions and dreamshave come alive since moving to the Oregon coast. Soon after arriving in Florence, she published a young adult, multi-cultural novel, Hoot Owl Shares The Dawn. Her book won 'honorable mention' in the 2005 Independent Publisher's Awards. Jennifer's now writing a quirky novel, Under The Same Roof, and it takes place 'in a funny. but not so funny' retirement home. With a major in advertising and minor in journalism, Jennifer's passion for the arts and writing started early. After a long career in college administration she moved to Oregon where she realized her real passion was painting in watercolors and writing. In 2005, Jennifer and her life partner walked into an old vacant building and, with the help of fifteen other artists, managed to transform a five-room house into a thriving artist co-op and art gallery in Florence. Now the Backstreet Gallery is "home" for twenty fabulous local artists and has become a pulsating art movement on the central Oregon coast. Whether it's writing or painting, Jennifer's creativity always seems to reflect her inner joys, light-hearted humor and passion for life's simplicities.

天哪，我简直不敢相信自己竟然错过了这本书这么久！这本书的叙事节奏简直是教科书级别的示范。作者在开篇就抛出了一个极具悬念的场景，仿佛把我直接拽入了一个迷雾重重的世界。随着情节的层层剥开，你会发现每一个看似微不足道的细节，最后都会成为解开谜团的关键。我尤其欣赏作者对人物内心世界的细腻刻画，那些纠结、挣扎和最终的释然，都处理得极其到位，让人感同身受。阅读过程中，我好几次停下来，反复琢磨某几段对话的深层含义，那种被作者的文字技巧所‘俘获’的感觉，真是太美妙了。它不是那种快餐式的读物，需要你投入心神去品味，去构建属于你自己的画面。后半部分的高潮迭起，更是将所有的线索巧妙地汇集在一起，收尾干净利落，却又留下了令人回味的悠长余韵。我已经迫不及待想推荐给所有喜欢深度阅读的朋友们了！
评分这本书的装帧设计本身就透露出一种复古的魅力，拿到手上就感觉沉甸甸的，很有质感。内页的字体排版和留白处理得非常舒适，长时间阅读下来眼睛也不会感到疲劳。当然，内容才是核心，而这本书的哲学思辨深度，绝对值得称赞。它没有直接给出任何现成的答案，而是更像一位睿智的长者，通过一系列寓言式的片段和充满象征意义的意象，引导读者去审视自身存在的意义以及我们与周遭环境的关系。我花了很长时间去消化其中关于时间流逝和记忆固化的那几章，感觉作者似乎触及了某种我们日常生活中习以为常却从未深究的底层逻辑。对于那些习惯于接受明确论断的读者来说，这本书初读可能会有些晦涩，但只要坚持下去，你会发现它像一块未经雕琢的宝石，需要你亲手打磨，才能看到它闪耀的光芒。我个人认为，这本书更像是为那些寻求精神慰藉和知识拓展的‘求索者’准备的。
评分这本书给我的整体感受是“意料之外，情理之中”的完美结合。最开始读的时候，我以为这会是一本很典型的XXX题材作品（此处应是某种明确的体裁分类，比如科幻或言情），但很快我就发现自己被带入了一个全新的维度。作者的叙事视角转换得极其自然流畅，有时候是局内人的第一人称，下一秒就跳跃到了全知全能的上帝视角，这种切换非但没有造成混乱，反而增强了故事的立体感和多维性。特别是角色之间的张力处理，那种欲言又止、爱恨交织的微妙关系，描绘得入木三分。我发现自己完全被卷入了角色的命运之中，为他们的选择而揪心，为他们的成功而喝彩。这本书的成功之处在于，它让你在体验一段精彩旅程的同时，也在不断地对人性的复杂性进行反思。这是一次酣畅淋漓、酣畅淋漓的阅读体验，结束时，我甚至有些怅然若失，仿佛刚刚告别了一群熟悉的朋友。
评分我是一个对细节控到近乎偏执的读者，而这本书在构建其世界观的严谨性上，让我感到非常震撼。作者显然是做了极其充分的研究，无论是历史背景的设定，还是专业术语的运用，都展现出一种令人信服的专业度。举个例子，书中关于某个特定历史时期的社会阶层运作的描述，精确到令人发指，完全没有为了情节服务而出现的逻辑漏洞。这种对‘真实感’的极致追求，极大地增强了阅读的沉浸感。我甚至花时间去查证了其中引用的某些资料，发现大部分都是言之有据的。这表明作者对待作品的态度是极其认真的。对于那些希望通过阅读来学习新知识，同时享受精彩故事的读者来说，这本书提供了一种知识与娱乐完美融合的体验，它既满足了我的好奇心，又挑战了我原有的认知边界。
评分说实话，这本书的语言风格非常独特，充满了鲜明的地域色彩和强烈的个人烙印。作者似乎不太拘泥于传统的小说结构，而是用一种近乎诗意的散文笔调来叙述故事，使得整本书读起来有一种流动的美感。有些段落的句子特别长，充满了复杂的从句和精妙的比喻，初看可能需要放慢速度，但一旦适应了这种节奏，你会沉醉于其中。我发现，作者在描述自然景象和感官体验时，简直是信手拈来，比如对光线穿过树叶缝隙的描写，那种细致入微的描摹，让人仿佛真的闻到了泥土和青草的味道。它不是一个传统意义上的‘故事’，更像是一组情绪和片段的集合，非常适合在安静的午后，伴着一杯热茶来细细品味。如果有人喜欢那种意境大于情节的作品，这本书绝对是不能错过的宝藏。
