这消息是我在MJ的官网上看到的,我想问下有没有人看过这本书的,还有Michael 跟这书的作者Jennings Michael Burch的关系怎么样
还有这帖子本来说有个视频(YouTube上的),是MJ与这本书的作者Jennings Michael Burch访谈的,有没有亲见过这个视频?
这是亚马逊网上They Cage the Animals at Night的销售地址:

这是亚马逊上可能是Michael评论的原文:
They Cage the Animals at Night, April 8, 2000 (评论是2000年4月8号的)
By A Customer
They Cage the Animals at Night is a terrific and emotional story about Jennings Michael Burch, a young boy who learned to survive in a cold, frightening world. His mother was too sick to care for him and left him in a series of orphanages and institutions. Life in these orphanages was brutal, punishments were cruel, rules were strict, and Jennings was unable to do anything about it. He couldn't rely on family and friends because they all abandoned him in times that he really needed them. A tattered stuffed dog was the only friend that stayed with him through it all and the only thing he could count on in his lost childhood. This is the best book I have ever read. I couldn't put it down. When it was time to go to sleep, I would get a flashlight and sit in the dark for hours and read this book. I have never read a sadder story. The fact that this all happened to the author makes me realize just how lucky I actually am to have family, friends, home, and money. I really felt sorry for Jennings. He was a boy about my age who doesn't have all that I have. The story was based on sadness, love, survival, family, and friends. I would recommend this to anyone of any age who likes a powerful, sad story or who wants to be moved and touched. My entire family has either read it or wants to read it. Everyone I know that read it has felt the same way that I do about it.
评论的大意是:
这本书讲述了一个可怕但是非常感人的故事,一个小男孩努力学习如何在这个冰冷而又可怕的世界里生存。这个男孩的母亲因为得病而不能照顾他,于是这个男孩一直在一些孤儿院中生活。孤儿院中的生活是残酷的,有着各种条条框框,制度也是非常严格的,小男孩根本就无所是从。而且Jennings在最需要亲人与朋友的时候,他们都遗弃了他。只有一只邋遢的小狗陪伴他,这是他被遗失的童年中唯一的亮点。(后面是对这本书的点评)这是我看过的最好的一本书了,我一直都舍不得把它放下,当我晚上要睡觉的时候,我总是在黑暗中坐了很久,用手电筒来阅读这本书。我没有读过比这本书更伤心的故事了。这个作者所遇到的事情让我明白我实际上是有多幸运的,我拥有家庭,朋友,房子还有金钱。但是我真的为Jennings所发生的一切感到遗憾。他没有拥有在我那个年龄时拥有的一切。这个故事是建立在悲伤,爱,生存,家庭与朋友之上的。我将向跟我一样年龄的人推荐这本书,如果你想看一本关于信念但又充满悲伤的故事,或者说你只是想被感动的话。我的家庭也还没有读这本书,我相信只要读过这本书的人就会跟我有一样的感触。 |
