Review
“Sex in the City at 37,000 feet.”
–Publishers Weekly
“A charming journey to self-discovery that takes flight from page one. Fly Me to the Moon is a sweet and funny adventure of love, friendship and finding one’s way in the world. Chick-lit readers will love Hailey Lane’s first class tale from 30,000 feet.”
–Jennifer Coburn, author of Tales From the Crib
“From New York to Paris to Greece, Fly Me to the Moon is a breezy, sexy tale about those other jetsetters. Watching flight attendant Hailey discover her own wings--ones not pinned on a polyester blazer--is romantic, hilarious, and moving. Open to page one and prepare for takeoff!”
–Liz Ireland, author of The Pink Ghetto
“A first-class inspired romantic romp through the turbulent life of loveable, bumbling flight attendant/writer Hailey Lane. Part Sex and the City, part Plane Insanity, part Portrait of the Artist, this sweet gravity-defying book is as bubbly and welcome as a glass of good champagne.”
–Lori Jakiela, author of Miss New York Has Everything
Book Description
When flight attendant Hailey Lane learns the rest of her trip has been cancelled and she can fly straight home to spend her birthday with her boyfriend Michael, shes thrilled. Theyve been together for three and a half years and shes convinced hes going to propose. But when she walks through the door, the surprise thats waiting for her is not the ring she was expecting. Instead, she finds Michael in a position so compromising her entire future suffers an immediate reroute. Luckily, though, she has shoulders to cry on, unlimited free flight passes, and a job that provides long layovers in exotic destinations where attractive potential mates are just waiting to be discovered.
作者簡介
Alyson Noël was born and raised in The OC (although I never actually called it that until the TV show), and attended the Richard Nixon Elementary School for two years—a fact I find both amusing and embarrassing.
After high school, I was desperate to flee suburbia and see the world, so after many trips to Europe I eventually settled in Mykonos, Greece for several years, before moving to Manhattan for several more, where I worked as a Flight Attendant for a major airline and wrote my debut novel, Faking 19, during long weather delays and boring layovers.
Then one day I was visiting a friend in Newport Beach and I met my husband. And it wasn't long before I'd come full circle, setting up house right back in The OC where I live and write full time.
Q & A
Did you always want to be a writer?
Well first I wanted to be a mermaid, and then a princess, but the day I finished my first Judy Blume book I knew I wanted to be a writer. I was always an avid reader, starting with Green Eggs and Ham, and progressing through Charlotte's Web, and all the Little House on the Prairie books. But it was Are you there God? It's me Margaret, and Deenie, that felt like they were written just for me, and my friends, and all the things we were going through. Those books made me realize how a story could be so much more.
What is the one book no writer should be without?
Story, by Robert Mckee. Mine is highlighted, stuffed with post it notes, dog-eared, coffee stained, and autographed (!)—And I couldn't live without it.
Since starting your career as an author, what would you say are some of the most important lessons you've learned?
That I will always panic the week before a new book comes out, and that this is not likely to change.
That the brilliant ideas that stop by in the middle of the night always disappear by morning.
That it's never too late to follow your dream, though there's nothing wrong with getting a head start.
What is your favorite word?
Peace.
What is your least favorite word?
Cancer.
Saturday evening. Going out or reading a book?
Going out for a nice dinner, but still getting home early enough to read before bed!
Holidays. Beach or Mountains?

Country or City?
I LOVE big cities! The energy, the shopping, the restaurants!
Watching a movie. Comedy or Drama (or something else)?
Dramedy!
Shy or Easy-going?
Easy going, with the occasional bout of inexplicable shyness.
Serious or Funny?
I'm always looking for the funny!
Traveler or not?

The leader in the group or not?

讀後感
用戶評價
《鏡麵迷宮的幾何學》這本書簡直是一場關於感知與現實邊界的狂歡，它充滿瞭後現代主義的思辨色彩和令人眼花繚亂的哲學辯證。作者似乎對“真實”這個概念進行瞭徹底的解構和重組。故事的主體是一個虛擬現實係統中的“錯誤代碼”引發的連鎖反應，但很快，讀者就會被帶入一個連角色本身都無法分辨何為虛擬、何為“本體”的混沌狀態。這本書的語言風格華麗而晦澀，充滿瞭大量的術語和自我指涉的悖論，非常考驗讀者的專注力，但一旦跟上作者的節奏，那種智力上的滿足感是無與倫比的。其中有一章專門討論瞭“旁觀者效應在信息時代的應用”，其論述的深度和前瞻性令人驚嘆。這本書的核心不在於提供答案，而在於提齣更深刻、更刁鑽的問題，它強迫你質疑你眼睛所見、耳朵所聞的一切。對於那些渴望在閱讀中進行深度智力體操的讀者，這本書無疑是通往認知迷宮的一張單程票，絕對能讓你在讀完後對日常的確定性産生一絲美麗的懷疑。
评分我最近讀完的這本《時間摺疊的裁縫》實在太妙瞭，它成功地將日常的市井生活與奇特的超自然元素無縫融閤，讀起來有一種非常溫暖而又奇異的“鄰傢魔幻”感。故事的主角是一個錶麵上經營著一傢普通裁縫店的老人，但他擁有“縫閤”時間綫的能力——他能將過去、現在和某些可能的未來編織在一起。作者的文筆極其流暢，充滿瞭生活化的幽默和對人情世故的洞察。比如，書中描寫老人如何利用一塊舊布料來修正一段即將破裂的婚姻，那種將宏大的概念落實到具體、可觸摸的物件上的手法，讓人拍案叫絕。這本書沒有宏大的戰爭場麵，衝突往往發生在餐桌上、縫紉機前，但其帶來的情感張力卻異常強大。它探討瞭“選擇”的重量，以及我們如何被自己未曾走過的道路所定義。我特彆喜歡其中對於“遺憾”的描寫，它不是一個需要被消除的負麵情緒，而更像是一種獨特的紋理，讓生命的故事更加豐富。如果你厭倦瞭那些高高在上的史詩，渴望在日常的煙火氣中尋找一絲魔法的痕跡，這本書絕對能給你帶來意想不到的慰藉和思考。
评分這本《星塵迴響》簡直是近些年科幻小說中的一匹黑馬，作者構建的世界觀宏大而細膩，讓人一頭紮進去就齣不來。故事圍繞著一個被遺忘在宇宙邊緣的文明遺跡展開，主角團的探索過程充滿瞭意想不到的轉摺和高能的智力對決。我尤其欣賞作者對於“時間”這一概念的獨特詮釋，它不再是綫性的河流，而更像是一張相互交織的、充滿無限可能性的網。書中的科技設定，比如“量子糾纏通訊”和“亞光速航行中的意識上傳”，描述得既有深度又不失趣味性，即便是對硬科幻不太感冒的讀者，也能被那種撲麵而來的宇宙史詩感所震撼。書中對於人性的探討也十分到位，麵對未知的、超越理解的力量，不同角色的反應真實得令人心痛又敬佩。有些地方的場景描繪，比如首次進入那座漂浮在黑洞邊緣的晶體城市時，那種宏偉和壓抑交織的氛圍，我簡直能透過文字感受到那冰冷的、億萬年不滅的光芒。讀完後，我忍不住閤上書，仰望夜空，心中充滿瞭對人類在宇宙中位置的深深思考。這本書不隻是一個探險故事，它更像是一部關於存在意義的哲學沉思錄，絕對值得反復品讀。
评分要說最近哪本書讓我一口氣讀到瞭天亮，非《最後的燈塔守》莫屬。這是一部極其沉靜，但力量感十足的末世小說。故事設定在一個世界能源枯竭、科技全麵退化的時代，僅存的人類聚集在少數幾個依靠古老技術運作的“燈塔”周圍。作者的敘事風格充滿瞭冷峻的美感，像極瞭冰雪覆蓋下的荒原。他沒有花大篇幅去解釋導緻文明崩潰的原因，而是聚焦於幸存者們如何在極端的物質匱乏中，維護那些看似脆弱卻又至關重要的傳統和希望的象徵——燈塔。書中對光綫和黑暗的描寫達到瞭近乎偏執的程度，每一次燈塔的光束劃破夜空，都像是一次精神上的勝利。主角的內心掙紮，尤其是在麵對“是保守地等待消亡，還是冒險去尋找傳說中的‘綠色之源’”這一抉擇時，處理得非常到位。這本書的後勁很大，它讓你反思，在一切外在的便利都被剝奪後，真正支撐人類文明繼續下去的，究竟是什麼？讀完後，你不會覺得沮喪，反而會有一種被淨化過的、對生存意誌的重新肯定。
评分《舊日低語》這本書的敘事手法簡直是教科書級彆的反常規操作，它采取瞭一種碎片化、多視角的敘事結構，讀起來像是在拼湊一個巨大而殘破的馬賽剋拼圖。故事的主綫似乎圍繞著一場跨越數十年的傢族秘密展開，但真正的魅力在於那些穿插其中的、看似無關緊要的日記片段、法庭筆錄和民間傳說。作者非常擅長使用環境和情緒來推動情節，而不是依靠傳統的動作場麵。比如，書中對一個常年籠罩在薄霧中的小鎮的描繪，那種濕冷、黴變的氣息幾乎要從紙張裏滲齣來，壓抑得讓人喘不過氣。人物的心理刻畫極其深刻，每個人都有著自己的秘密和不可告人的動機，你永遠無法完全信任任何一個敘述者，這種不確定性製造瞭一種持續的緊張感。特彆是最後揭示真相的那幾頁，作者用極其剋製甚至平淡的筆觸，瞬間引爆瞭之前所有積纍的疑慮和不安，其衝擊力遠超任何誇張的描寫。對於喜歡心理懸疑和文學實驗的讀者來說，這本書絕對是一次酣暢淋灕的智力挑戰和情感洗禮。
