尸语者 / 无声的证词 / 第十一根手指





尸语者 / 无声的证词 / 第十一根手指
作者:法医秦明

一眨眼,都快一年木更了。这三本是我在iReader买下来阅读(看到很多人在评论区赞好!我就读一读支持)。

这系列是关于一位法医在面对各案(事)件上运用法医学专业知识,细心的观察,推理真相!

从书中的描述,我能想像到法医这职业的重要性,还有不是每个人都能忍受到他们的幸苦。真的是值得我的敬佩!如果没了作者这么有正义感的法医,这世界应该会存在很多悬案啊。

可是我读的时候,最不能忍受的是无辜的生命(尤其是小孩子,年轻人)因一些人为了个人理由,被杀害了。(╥﹏╥)

好看!期待着第4本!呵呵,支持作者多写,分享他的故事。

When We Wake


When We Wake
Author: Karen Healey

When We Wake is a story of Tegan Oglietti was killed in 2027 and brought back to life by government in 100 years later. The story is set in Australia, and many has changed in 100 year later when she awake. Her revival was told to be part of the special project in bringing soldiers back to life. However, something is not right and there is conspiracy behind it - Project Ark. I hate the No Migrant policy and people from developing countries are treated as thirdies.

Basically, the story is about Tegan revived and under government supervision of getting back to daily life. However, she was told by an Inheritor of the Earth that she was only a tool for the government and mentioned the Project Ark. The guy was killed on spot. Tegan got suspicious about it and teamed with Bethari, Joph and Abdi to reveal the Project Ark to public. Bethari and Joph got caught by government, Tegan and Abdi got caught by the Inheritor of the Earth. The story ends with Tegan and Abdi managed to escape and upload a tube with the help of Curl Hurfest.

That is it. Great. Now I have to borrow the sequel While We Run from library.

I have this feeling that it is going to have its own movie. Probably in year 2016. We shall see.

Other Brother


Other Brother
Author: Simon French

It is a little uncomfortable in the beginning part of the story, there was the urge to really give a lecture and scolding to Kieran of being mean to his cousin, Bon.

In the story, Kieran is a boy who wants to fit into the popular group in school and Bon...he is just a little different than other kids due to his unusual background. Another main protagonists in this story is Julia, a girl who had taken by her mom away from her dad, a missing girl reported.

This is a story about Kieran dislike Bon in their first meeting. When Bon comes back and lives with Kieran's family, Kieran hates him and get jealous of his present (eg. he likes Julia and wants to be friend with her but Bon is her best friend). A bully in the school, Bon is the victim. Kieran is part of the group who bully him.

Thanks that Kieran realizes his mistake and stand out for Bon when he is bullied. Julia's dad found her in the end and she leaves with just a letter behind for Bon.

Story is nice but I really want to read the final message written by Julia!

佐贺阿嬷的幸福旅行箱


佐贺阿嬷的幸福旅行箱
作者:岛田洋七(陈宝莲译)

婚姻啊,就像两个人拖着一个旅行箱,里面装着满满的幸福和辛苦,一定要一起拖到最后,如果其中一个人放手,就会重得拖不动。
昭广的感情经历很特别。如果是我的话,应该是没有他那个勇气。律子(他的老婆)更是胆识过人,很爽快地答应私奔。

就算私奔来到了城市,过着不安的生活,律子也没有离开昭广身边一起过贫困的生活。虽然起初相声学艺很辛苦,但最后也成功。

哈哈…如果有位女生愿意跟着我走,放掉一切,那就真的要好好珍惜她。爱情说的简单,要一起走一辈子不简单,所以秘诀啊…永不放手,一起拖幸福旅行箱到最后!(¬‿¬)

妈妈,我好想你


妈妈,我好想你
作者:岛田洋七(陈宝莲译)

其实,第一次留意到昭广作品不是这一本,而是一本关于他的阿嬷。那一本很真实,很温馨,切切实实形容当时的苦境,阿嬤对他的关爱。

这一本就为了怀念母亲而写。

打从心底想,我觉得所有的母亲都很坚强。可能是因为我本身也是在单身家庭中成长,所以我能体会到一位妈妈能为子女付出和牺牲一切。

昭广的爸爸在昭广还很小时,已病故。妈妈带着两个儿子,继续独自经营局酒屋。为了昭广和哥哥,咬牙苦撑。在那个混沌的时代,一个女人经营夜店真的不简单!

过后,昭广离开妈妈,被寄放在佐贺阿嬷的家。每个月的联系就仅仅是一个小包囊,当时乡下也没有电话这么方便。现在啊…科技这么发达,不管隔多远打个电话或者视频聊天就行,但是人与人之间的距离反而疏远了。

我真的很喜欢这本书,是值得阅读的一本书!(ˆ⌣ˆ)

最后,我想介绍几句母亲给我的话作为结局。
『要在严厉的话语中发现温柔。要注意温柔话语中的严厉。』

『觉得辛苦,就要对人亲切。终有一天会得到回报。』

『辛苦,是幸福的热身操,要坚持到底。』

The Fault In Our Stars



The Fault in Our Stars
Author: John Green

It is unusual theme for a novel. Well, only to me perhaps, as I had never read a novel relates to cancer before this. 

There is a sentence I believe that is most remarkable — "The world is not a wish-granting factory". I hate to admit but no choice, sometimes it just does not turn out the way you want. 

It is a story about a girl, Hazel Grace Lancaster, diagnosed with Stage 4 Thyroid cancer with metastasis forming in her lungs. A girl who always watch America's Next Top Model and read her favourite book, An Imperial Affliction.

She was reluctant to attend support group for children living with cancer but her mom forced her to go. Then at the support group she met Augustus Waters. The story continues with the love between them and the book "An Imperial Affliction" became the point of bonding for them. 

The story is touching but sad. It is truly that "The world is not a wish-granting factory". Issac lost his eyes, Augustus's cancer had returned and died. Life is fragile. 

The ending is nice. It ends with a letter written to Peter van Houten that supposed to be the sequel to the book, an epilogue that he wanted to write for Hazel. However the letter he wrote was actually a eulogy for Hazel.

Part of the letter :

"Almost everyone is obsessed with leaving a mark upon the world."
"We all want to be remembered. I do, too."
"But Van Houten: the marks humans leave are too often scars."
"People will say it's sad that she leaves a lesser scar, that fewer remember her, that she was loved deeply but not widely."

一路有你

 

一路有你
The Journey

久违的大马华语电影!其实,我可以说是从小看外国电影(港片居多)长大的。一部好的大马电影...我看应该可能就很难找。

这部才刚上映,我就很想买票进戏院看。哈哈,可能是宣传做的很足够,也可能因之前“天天好天”的好评。

我妈妈平时都不去戏院看戏的,都说要看!我也趁这机会一起去看。总结,这是很温馨,不错的一部电影。

看了之后,还真想把握现有的时间来实现想做的事,不要等到 "Tayar Pancit" 才后悔。哈哈,pancit就是这部电影给我深刻印象的其中一句。

剧情简介
