Doris Lessing's contemporary gothic horror story—centered on the birth of a baby who seems less than human—probes society's unwillingness to recognize its own brutality.Harriet and David Lovatt, parents of four children, have created an idyll of domestic bliss in defiance of the social trends of late 1960s England. While around them crime and unrest surge, the Lovatts are certain that their old-fashioned contentment can protect them from the world outside—until the birth of their fifth baby. Gruesomely goblin-like in appearance, insatiably hungry, abnormally strong and violent, Ben has nothing innocent or infant-like about him. As he grows older and more terrifying, Harriet finds she cannot love him, David cannot bring himself to touch him, and their four older children are afraid of him. Understanding that he will never be accepted anywhere, Harriet and David are torn between their instincts as parents and their shocked reaction to this fierce and unlovable child whose existence shatters their belief in a benign world.

sorta half-baked, unsatisfactory ending for a novel with such emphasis on pushing the plot forward
评分lenient, precise, cruel.
评分Not what I expected. Thought it would be a horror story, but it is more like a book about family, about the relationship, and education
评分很难想象这么拖沓,这么不可怕不可信的毫无想象力的小说的作者是诺贝尔文学奖获得者。或者诺贝尔文学奖其实不过也只是《楚天都市报》编辑的水平。
评分Tremendously disturbed but I think deep down we're all at some level fascinated by a darker Quasimodo. As if compelled to see he finally bring about annihilation of everything we ever believed to be undestructable — the only right thing to be done. Totally understand Harriet, maternal, Catholic and fatalistic, but hell, I would go nowhere near her.
“可怜的班。” 这是小说中给我印象最深的一句话。 那时班还很小,他几乎不懂得这句话的含义,他称自己为“可怜的班”。也许只是因为他听到别人这么说他,也许,他真的觉得自己可怜。看到这里的时候,我脑中仿佛被一个大锤狠狠地震了一下,猛然惊醒过来。 班生活在一个幸福的家...
评分 评分沒有人看這本《第五個孩子》時會有笑聲。如同它書封上寫著的,這是一本令人毛骨悚然的故事,所想必閱讀的時候,應該會是驚恐的,更別說是發出笑聲了。我不知道為什麼寫書介的人會用這「毛骨悚然」來形容它,是因為這第五個孩子「班」的怪異的行為,以及它根本不像人類的種種?...
评分这是12年的某个下午在图书馆里看完的书。书评写在空间上了。粘过来。 其实对作者的深意仍没看的很明了。 暂且写一写我看到的一些吧。 海蕊和大卫,确实像两个边缘人,书一开始便反复的说着他们与那个社会的种种格格不入。追求着简单幸福的生活——多要一些孩子,一个宽敞舒适...
评分我曾经做过一个关于政治倾向的测试,之前满心以为自己一定是右边的,没想到结果是一半一半。 看【第五个孩子】的时候,我忍不住老是想到这件事。 人,从生存的权利来看,是生而平等的吧。没有谁有权利剥夺别人的生命。 那么畸形儿呢? 哦,可怜的班,他身上带着罕见...
