具體描述
The "quack" who saved a king... Featuring a star-studded cast of Academy Award® winners and nominees, The King's Speech won the 2010 Toronto International Film Festival People's Choice Award and is generating plenty of Oscar buzz. This official film tie-in is written by London Sunday Times journalist Peter Conradi and Mark Logue--grandson of Lionel Logue, one of the movie's central characters. It's the eve of World War II, and King Edward VIII has abdicated the throne of England to marry the woman he loves. Never has the nation needed a leader more. But the new monarch, George VI--father of today's Queen Elizabeth II--is painfully shy and cursed with a terrible stammer. How can he inspire confidence in his countrymen when he cannot even speak to them? Help arrives in speech therapist Logue, who not only is a commoner, but Australian to boot. Will he be able to give King George his voice? The King's Speech tells an inspiring tale of triumph over adversity and the unlikely friendship between a reluctant king and the charismatic subject who saved the throne.

讀後感
人最难超越的往往是自己，人最终要超越的也是自己。 前不久上了大学以来感觉最充满正能量的一节体育课，我感觉那是一堂心灵鸡汤式的治愈课。老师叫我们每个人都要玩一次“信任背摔”——要求身体直挺挺在高处摔下来，下面有伙伴接住。每一个小伙伴都进行了一次，然而成功的屈指...
評分提到《国王的演讲》这本书，往往不可避免地要对比今年大热的同名电影。我不想、也不敢比较二者孰优孰劣，因为对这种经典作品来说，真的是各有千秋。我是一个俗人，为了偷懒，想尽快了解情节，于是就先看了电影；之后抱着还愿的心态，捧起了中译本图书，也刚刚草草地翻完；现在...
評分文/落潇 拿到此书，觉得这又是一个童话，如同七个小矮人是为了突出白雪公主的善良，国王的演讲显示上帝赐给他的智慧和才干，其实不然，在国王的演讲背后，却有着诸多的汗水和努力，充满着道义的帮助和情理上的冷漠，暗示着天壤之别地位上的人们之间仍然可以友谊长存。而《国王...
評分I loved the King's Speech for two reasons: 1) It portrays a very interesting time in Britain's history. 2) It shows what someone can do when they really want to help someone. It shows true love in action - not romantic love, but simple love for your fell...
評分一本不错的书。 与电影不是十分密切，但与电影永远无法分离。 看电影的时候，总会停下来。电影算不上伟大的精彩，但总能让人的停滞的间歇想起一点什么。 旧事。故事。 有些细节有接不上的嫌疑。 明白导演的苦衷。于是就想起看看原作。 当国王变得可爱起来的时候，江山可能会...

评分the more pageantry, the better
评分終於抽空讀完瞭，還是去年暑假在華盛頓某書店買的。
评分3.8星。不知道是否有誇大的成分；真摯的感情再加上靠譜的皇室gossip，還挺好看的
评分看這個是有一大半的原因是為瞭重拾英語閱讀。不過這本書倒是反襯瞭電影的再創作，書裏的描述其實應該更符閤實際情況，然而也比較乏味。
