內容簡介

My father is always talking about how a dog can be very educational for a boy. This is one reason I got a cat.

Dave Mitchell and his father yell at each other a lot, and whenever the fighting starts, Dave's mother gets an asthma attack. That's when Dave storms out of the house. Then Dave meets Tom, a strange boy who helps him rescue Cat. It isn't long before Cat introduces Dave to Mary, a wonderful girl from Coney Island. Slowly Dave comes to see the complexities in people's lives and to understand himself and his family a little better.

開捲有益

俗話說文無定法，寫書評當然也無一定的格式，可以因人而異，因書而異。比如偏於談感受的書評就可以直接從述感開頭：“何建明的長篇報告文學《中國高考報告》是一部具有強烈震撼力的作品。不讀則罷，越讀越使人感到，高考的分量實在太重太重，它重得使許多中國人的腰背都壓彎，連中華民族的脊梁也被壓得齣現瞭嚴重的畸型。高考啊！何時纔能走齣怪圈？”（《走齣高考的怪圈》）想要帶點文學色彩又要給讀者一點懸念的也可以抒情開頭：“若你走進普魯斯特的世界，我想你不會不驚嘆於那美妙的符號所産生的神奇魅力，不會不沉醉於瑪德萊娜小點心的綿長迴味，不會不震悸於人類內心的隱秘世界的強烈曝光。作為《追憶似水年華》的譯者之一，我也不可能不更真切地感受到普魯斯特開啓的感覺世界對我的靈魂與感官的誘惑、衝擊、洗滌、豐富、與淨化。“（《全新而永恒的感覺世界》）當然書評的結尾也不一定都要推薦式的。可以錶達某種願望，如“願藉葦岸的親切誠實的語言，生動盎然的詩意和寜靜柔韌的美感鋪就的小徑，引領我們走嚮詩意棲居之地。”（《讀<太陽升起以後>》）錶達願望之中有推薦作品的誠意。也可以批評某種現象或做法，如“他們認為如果兒童畫能與範例完全相同，那麼這種訓練就是成功的。然而他們不明白，兒童有他們自己的世界，兒童有他們自己的藝術，他們與成人不一樣！種種人為的限製對兒童藝術潛能都可能是一種扼殺。”（《生動有趣的圖畫書》）批評的目的仍然是為瞭推薦。

此書很好，值得購買。

因為爸媽網上有這本書的音頻，所以也就來這裏淘瞭本書看，不太喜歡電子書，還是紙質書感覺好，不能看的時候還有音頻聽，真好。
