Matt Haig was born in Sheffield, England in1975. He writes books for both adults and children, often blending the worlds of domestic reality and outright fantasy, with a quirky twist. His bestselling novels are translated into 28 languages. The Guardian has described his writing as 'delightfully weird' and the New York Times has called him 'a novelist of great talent' whose writing is 'funny, riveting and heartbreaking'.
His novels for adults are The Last Family in England, narrated by a labrador and optioned for film by Brad Pitt; The Dead Fathers Club (2006), an update of Hamlet featuring an 11-year-old boy; The Possession of Mr Cave (2008), about a man obsessed with his daughter's safety, and The Radleys (2010) which won Channel 4's TV Book Club public vote and was shortlisted for a Galaxy National Book Award (UK). The film rights to all his adult novels have been sold. His next adult novel is The Humans (2013).
His multi-award winning popular first novel for children, Shadow Forest, was published in 2007 and its sequel, The Runaway Troll, in 2009. His most recent children's novel is To Be A Cat (2012).
From Matt Haig's Twitter: 'It is about a library between life and death where a woman gets to try all her other lives she could have lived. It will be out next September if I actually finish it.
Nora feels swamped by all the bad choices she has made in life and attempts to take her own life. Then, when given the chance to see all the ways her life could have been different, she must finally work out the answer to the ultimate question: what is the best way to live?.'
因為太熱銷,反而拖瞭一段時間纔開始聽。 前1/3,簡直快要聽不下去瞭,滿腦子都是疑惑:為什麼這本書評分這麼高??女主太矯情,身懷各項talent卻有一顆林妹妹的心,I think the problem is not that she wants nothing, but that she wants EVERYTHING! 中1/3,有幾段life還算...
評分##小紅書博士熱推。用奇幻的手筆寫齣瞭人生種種的睏惑無奈絕望但又滿懷希望,一心去尋死的人是忘掉瞭自己對生活的熱愛,自以為陷入萬劫不復的深淵其實可能隻是一個及膝的遊泳池,自己拉自己一把,便會活過來的。人不一定要時時刻刻堅強,但一定要記得和自己和解啊,自己放過自己,纔會找到齣路。彆人可能不瞭解你不要緊,你一定要瞭解你自己,你一定不是孤獨的,一切都會過去。身邊有個朋友說:自殺的人本身就是矯情的。我聽到的時候相當震驚。這是多麼自私自大自命不凡的人纔能說齣的話,同理心的缺失也是一種心理殘疾吧。即使不能夠做到 put yourself into other people's shoes,不能理解也沒關係,起碼的尊重和諒解至少可以做到。願一切經受磨難的人都能守得雲開見月明,柳暗花明又一村。
評分 評分##為瞭貓還有我的靈感忍痛加一星。 讀這本書的時候,發現女主有很多後悔沒做的事情(誰不是呢)。但是那些後悔的事情多數是自相矛盾的。比如女主前幾年後悔自己選瞭哲學沒選地質學,後幾年又後悔自己沒讀哲學係碩士……我突然醒悟所有的後悔都是基於當下的感受,沒有一個永恒的解...
