In me are the memories of a boy's life, spent in that realm of enchantments. These are the things I want to tell you....
Robert McCammon delivers "a tour de force of storytelling" (BookPage) in his award-winning masterpiece, a novel of Southern boyhood, growing up in the 1960s, that reaches far beyond that evocative landscape to touch readers universally.
Boy's Life is a richly imagined, spellbinding portrait of the magical worldview of the young -- and of innocence lost.
Zephyr, Alabama, is an idyllic hometown for eleven-year-old Cory Mackenson -- a place where monsters swim the river deep and friends are forever. Then, one cold spring morning, Cory and his father witness a car plunge into a lake -- and a desperate rescue attempt brings his father face-to-face with a terrible, haunting vision of death. As Cory struggles to understand his father's pain, his eyes are slowly opened to the forces of good and evil that surround him. From an ancient mystic who can hear the dead and bewitch the living, to a violent clan of moonshiners, Cory must confront the secrets that hide in the shadows of his hometown -- for his father's sanity and his own life hang in the balance....

我对此书宣传语中“最好看的XX书”、“不朽传奇”之类的词语向来嗤之以鼻,理由很简单,真正符合此类标准的书只要在封面上把题目和作者写得显眼一些就可以了,像福尔摩斯、爱伦坡之类本身就是传奇的代名词,即使内容不合口味,你也应该把记住这些名字当作基本素质的训练。当然...
評分在网上一搜索,发现这个作家居然还是跟斯蒂芬·金差不多的畅销作家。其实读过金的一些小说,觉得大同小异,当然,所谓的类型作家也就是在一个类型里要做到登峰造极。这一点上金肯定是无可争议的高手,而且他的作品也确实是很给读者快感的。我觉得那种阅读体验跟读卫斯理、...
評分人生只有刻度,用以划定各个时期,但不存在真正的长大和变老。 这是我读小说《奇风岁月》的感触,也是我这段时期人生的感触。 奇风岁月原名boy's life,即男孩的生活。600多页的一本书,让我在周末一气读完了。外表是一个悬疑小说的皮,剥开是一个男孩在小镇成长的一段岁...
評分人的一生可能会与很多书相遇,不过彼时、彼地、彼书的机缘却是强求不来的,读《奇风岁月》,也会想16、17岁的夏天,变身男孩,经历着青春的叛逆,却遇上了成长里的共鸣,那将是怎样的一种阅读记忆?又会想,多年后,已从青葱少年走向成熟持重,翻开《奇风岁月》,开始了一段逆...
評分提起《奇风岁月》的作者罗伯‧麦肯曼,无可避免一定要提到一位美国类型小说创作的巨人──史蒂芬金。 史帝芬金的书迷应该知道,在金迷的网站上,最常引起争论的两本书,一本是公认史蒂芬金的颠峰之作:《末日逼近〈The Stand〉》,另一本就是罗伯‧麦肯曼1987年的...
