All the innocent, beloved, good-looking characters have names that start with 'A', like Adam, Abra and Aron. Yet all the dark, neglected, horrible characters, Cal, Charles and Cathy have names beginning with 'C'. But the latter ones are found more real and attractive to me. How ironic.

Adam looked up with sick weariness. His lips parted and failed and tried again. Then his lung filled. He expelled the air and his lips combed the rushing sigh. His whispered word seemed to hang in the air: “Timshel!” His eyes closed and he slept.

读这本书 得花时间。不过之前 我建议先去读圣经，这样对故事更好理解。我最感兴趣的是里面那个变态的女人……

喜欢这本书的最大理由是饱满的人物形象，和诙谐精到却毫不艰涩的文字。读完这本，也许可以学些讲故事的好办法来吧。 翻译也很好，记下译者：王永年。  

初中时看CIPHER(双星记)提到一部根据这个小说改的电影 很好奇 在大学图书馆看到,就借来看 本书还算可以,但是对双胞胎母亲,个人不是很喜欢 有印象的描写还是CIPHER提到的经典台词"让你的孩子活下去"
