我一直覺得納悶,為什麼烏托邦文學或者反烏托邦文學裏描述的烏托邦,並不是一個快樂的地方,很遺憾,我並沒有在這本書裏找到答案。這本書裏的烏托邦,是一個沒有瞭悲傷等負麵情感的世界,相應地也缺乏激情等激烈的情感。Jonas的父親即使在給嬰兒執行注射死亡的時候,也處在一種哼著歌的快樂狀態裏。這究竟是麻木到習慣還是僞善?另外我不喜歡結局,Jonas帶著Gabriel離開瞭烏托邦,去瞭彆的地方,作者把這個地方描述成一個有血有肉有色彩有希望的地方,這個結局比較溫吞,不知道是不是考慮到瞭書是麵嚮青少年的。我暗暗期待的結局是,Jonas離開以後,發現彆的地方跟自己的那個社區沒什麼不同。
评分#Finally finish the novel <the giver># Highly recommended for the novel story and the inspiration for deeper thoughts of life as a teenager. Life is a mix of happiness and sorrows. There's no Utopia and nothing's perfect. What really matters is the freedom to make a choice on your own.
评分高一讀的 By Ms. Rose
评分非常有意思的一本小說。各個年齡層的人都可以讀,而且會讀齣不同的內容。雖然,我對於書的結局有些保留意見。我不覺得Elsewhere會是一個有真歡笑、真苦難、真生活的世界。
评分我倒想生活在這個社區
