　　From Publishers Weekly
　　Starred Review. A diabolic killer plays a harrowing game of catand mouse with a reclusive bartender in Koontz's latest grippingsuspense thriller. Billy Wiles, a 30-something bartender and formerwriter, is content with his solitary Napa County existencelistening to "beer-based psychoanalysis" from tavern regulars;visiting his hospitalized, comatose fiancée, Barbara; and carvingwood sculptures. But the simple life gets mighty complicated whenhe finds a note with a deadly, time-sensitive ultimatum: he mustchoose between the death of a young schoolteacher or an elderlyhumanitarian in six hours. Reluctant local sheriff Lanny Olsendismisses it as a joke until a comely teacher is found strangledand another threatening note appears—offering even less time forBilly to decide the fate of two more people. Who would have guessedthat one of those people would be Olsen? After his friend's murder,Billy finds that the cunning killer has gained access to everyaspect of his life as the ultimatums grow increasingly morepersonal. Suppressing horrific childhood memories, Billy scramblesto bury grisly incriminating evidence the murderer has deviouslyplanted. More gruesome deaths and shaky suspicions trap Billy rightin the demented killer's lair for just the beginning of Koontz'sserpentine showdown. Graphic, fast-paced action, well-developedcharacters and relentless, nail-biting scenes show Koontz at thetop of his game. (May 24)
　　From Booklist
　　Billy Wiles tends bar in a tavern in his small Californiahometown, from which he has never moved despite the horrific nightwhen he became an orphan at 14 and its equally horrific aftermath.Some 15 years later, he published a well-received book of storiesand met Barbara. They were about to be married when botulism incanned vichyssoise put her in a coma, and Billy more or less onhold, living on the hope that she will revive some day. Some fiveyears further on, Billy finds, under the windshield wiper of hiscar, a note offering him a hideous decision. If he doesn't go tothe police, "a lovely blond schoolteacher" will be killed; if hedoes, "an elderly woman" will be murdered. Billy doesn't exactly gothe police. He shows the note to a cop who is probably his onlyreal friend and who seconds his conjecture that the note is just anexceedingly tasteless prank. Of course, it isn't, and for the restof an exceedingly tightly wound thriller stubbornly focused on him,Billy struggles to discover the identity of the soon-serial killer,who plants evidence incriminating Billy on his (her? their?)victims. Eventually and all too soon, Barbara is threatened, andBilly's subsequent suicide predicted, in the murderer's ostensiblyfinal note. Not as moving as Odd Thomas (2003), as creepy as TheTaking(2004), as darkly funny as Life Expectancy (2004), or asthought-provoking as any of them, Velocity is, however, moresuspenseful and more grueling--genuinely terrific.

　　From School Library Journal
　　Adult/High School–Bartender Billy Wiles's life spirals out ofcontrol after he finds a note on his windshield telling him that hehas a choice: involve the police, and a lovely blonde schoolteacherdies. Do nothing, and an elderly woman active in charity work dies.His options only become harder once the killer targets people whomBilly knows and plants circumstantial evidence tying him to thecrimes. His greatest fear is for his comatose fiancée, and he worksfrantically to find the murderer before Barbara is hurt. Koontzkeeps the plot moving at an accelerating pace, and there are enoughtwists and turns to keep the story from being predictable. Billyisn't a hero in the traditional sense, but he is a sympatheticprotagonist, an average man pushed to his limits by an implacablefoe. Although there is a great deal of violence and an impressivebody count, the worst of it occurs off-screen. The themes aren'tsubtle, but they are worth considering--the importance ofconnection and community, the enduring power of love, and thevalidity of modern art. Velocity is a fast, entertainingread.
　　–Susan Salpini, TASIS–The American School in England
　　From AudioFile
　　Billy Wiles has been forced into a game of moral jeopardy by alurid serial killer who forces him to choose the next victim. Thegame accelerates, the deadlines grow tighter, the killer becomesbolder and crueler with every communication, the mutilations evermore grotesque, the decisions intensely personal . . . until theyfinally involve Barbara, Billy's fiancée, who is helpless in abotulism-induced coma. Michael Hayden is masterful at creating thevibrato of beer-based psychoanalysis, the garbled quality oftalking around a toothbrush, and the exquisite timing of a winchline turning on a drum, a sound that pulls the listener further andfurther into this impossible-to-wake-up-from nightmare. Prepareyourself for a Machiavellian extravaganza. K.A.T.
　　About Author
　　When he was a senior in college, Dean Koontz won an AtlanticMonthly fiction competition. He has been writing ever since. Hisbooks are published in 38 languages; worldwide sales are over 300million copies.
　　Ten of his novels have risen to number one on the New York Timeshardcover best-seller list (The Husband, One Door Away From Heaven,From The Corner Of His Eye, Midnight, Cold Fire, Hideaway, DragonTears, The Bad Place, Intensity, and Sole Survivor). Thirteen ofhis books have risen to the number one position in paperback.
　　Several of his books have been adapted into feature films and TVminiseries, including the highly rated “Intensity” on the FoxNetwork. The Husband is currently in development as a major motionpicture by Focus Features/Random House Films.
　　The New York Times has called his writing "psychologicallycomplex, masterly and satisfying." The New Orleans Times-Picayunesaid Koontz is "lyrical without ever being naive or romantic. [Hecreates] a grotesque world, much like that of Flannery O'Connor orWalker Percy ... scary, worthwhile reading." The London Timescalled him "a literary juggler," and Publishers Weekly recentlystated in a starred review that Koontz "gives readers bright hopein a dark world. He is a true original."
　　Dean Koontz was born and raised in Pennsylvania. He graduatedfrom Shippensburg State College (now Shippensburg University), andhis first job after graduation was with the Appalachian PovertyProgram, where he was expected to counsel and tutor underprivilegedchildren on a one-to-one basis. His first day on the job, hediscovered that the previous occupier of his position had beenbeaten up by the very kids he had been trying to help and hadlanded in the hospital for several weeks. The following year wasfilled with challenge but also tension, and Koontz was more highlymotivated than ever to build a career as a writer. He wrote nightsand weekends, which he continued to do after leaving the povertyprogram and going to work as an English teacher in a suburbanschool district outside Harrisburg. After he had been a year and ahalf in that position, his wife, Gerda, made him an offer hecouldn't refuse: "I'll support you for five years," she said, "andif you can't make it as a writer in that time, you'll never makeit." By the end of those five years, Gerda had quit her job to runthe business end of her husband's writing career. Dean and GerdaKoontz live in southern California with their golden retriever,Trixie, who herself has written two successful books—Life Is Goodand Christmas Is Good.

简介：      在线阅读本书          Book Description     A man with a faded, well-worn notebook open in his lap. A woman experiencing a morning ritual she doesn't understand. Until he begins to read to her. The Notebook is an achingly tender story about the enduring power of love, a story of miracles that will stay with you forever. Set amid the austere beauty of coastal North Carolina in 1946, The Notebook begins with the story of Noah Calhoun, a rural Southerner returned home from World War II. Noah, thirty-one, is restoring a plantation home to its former glory, and he is haunted by images of the beautiful girl he met fourteen years earlier, a girl he loved like no other. Unable to find her, yet unwilling to forget the summer they spent together, Noah is content to live with only memories....until she unexpectedly returns to his town to see him once again. Allie Nelson, twenty-nine, is now engaged to another man, but realizes that the original passion she felt for Noah has not dimmed with the passage of time. Still, the obstacles that once ended their previous relationship remain, and the gulf between their worlds is too vast to ignore. With her impending marriage only weeks away, Allie is forced to confront her hopes and dreams for the future, a future that only she can shape. Like a puzzle within a puzzle, the story of Noah and Allie is just the beginning. As it unfolds, their tale miraculously becomes something different, with much higher stakes. The result is a deeply moving portrait of love itself, the tender moments and the fundamental changes that affect us all. Shining with a beauty that is rarely found in current literature, The Notebook establishes Nicholas Sparks as a classic storyteller with a unique insight into the only emotion that really matters. "I am nothing special, of this I am sure. I am a common man with common thoughts and I've led a common life. There are no monuments dedicated to me and my name will soon be forgotten, but I've loved another with all my heart and soul, and to me, this has always been enough." And so begins one of the most poignant and compelling love stories you will ever read....The Notebook          Amazon.com     "Somewhere," muses Noah Calhoun, while sitting on his porch in the moonight, "there were people making love." The Notebook, a Southern-fried story of love-lost-and-found-again, revolves around a single time-honored romantic dilemma: will beautiful Allison Nelson stay with Mr. Respectability (to whom she happens to be engaged), or will she choose Noah, the romantic rascal she left so many years ago?          From Publishers Weekly     In 1932, two North Carolina teenagers from opposite sides of the tracks fall in love. Spending one idyllic summer together in the small town of New Bern, Noah Calhoun and Allie Nelson do not meet again for 14 years. Noah has returned from WWII to restore the house of his dreams, having inherited a large sum of money. Allie, programmed by family and the "caste system of the South" to marry an ambitious, prosperous man, has become engaged to powerful attorney Lon Hammond. When she reads a newspaper story about Noah's restoration project, she shows up on his porch step, re-entering his life for two days. Will Allie leave Lon for Noah? The book's slim dimensions and cliche-ridden prose will make comparisons to The Bridges of Madison County inevitable. What renders Sparks's (Wokini: A Lakota Journey of Happiness and Self-Understanding) sentimental story somewhat distinctive are two chapters, which take place in a nursing home in the '90s, that frame the central story. The first sets the stage for the reading of the eponymous notebook, while the later one takes the characters into the land beyond happily ever after, a future rarely examined in books of this nature. Early on, Noah claims that theirs may be either a tragedy or a love story, depending on the perspective. Ultimately, the judgment is up to readers?be they cynics or romantics. For the latter, this will be a weeper. Major ad/promo; first serial to Good Housekeeping; movie rights to New Line Cinema; Warner Audio; Literary Guild and Doubleday Book Club main selections.          From Library Journal     Here is a first novel that many people are banking on: the Literary Guild and Doubleday Book Club are featuring it as a main selection and film, foreign, and serial rights are already sold. At 80, Noah Calhoun reads daily from a notebook containing the love story of Noah and Allie. We learn of the teenaged lovers, their 14-year separation and reunion in New Bern, North Carolina, just weeks before Allie is to marry another man. Back in the present, we learn that Noah and Allie did marry and were happy for more than 40 years. Now, they are residents of a nursing home, separated both by rooms and, more profoundly, by Allie's Alzheimer's. Noah's daily reading from the notebook is not to himself; he reads aloud to Allie, hoping that the power of their love story will reach her. Noah's coping mechanisms as an old man are exceptional, and the novel's format, focusing just on the dual beginnings of their love story and its denouement, is intriguing. This is a more romantic testament to love's enduring miracle than Robert James Waller's The Bridges of Madison County (LJ 3/1/92) because the Calhouns chose the rigors of daily domestic life over a dream of four days. For all popular collections.     -?Rebecca S. Kelm, Northern Kentucky Univ. Lib., Highland Heights          From Booklist     With a huge first printing and a major advertising campaign, Warner is clearly hoping that Sparks' first novel will duplicate the success of Robert James Waller's Bridges of Madison County. Written in the opaque language of a fable, the novel opens in a nursing home as 80-year-old Noah Calhoun, "a common man with common thoughts," reads a love story from a notebook; it is his own story. In 1946, Noah, newly returned from the war, is trying to forget a long-ago summer romance with Allie Nelson, the daughter of a powerful businessman. Allie, soon to be married, feels compelled to track Noah down. One steamed-crab dinner and a canoe ride later, they fall madly in love again. We then learn that Noah, now aged and infirm, is reading his notebook to Allie in an attempt to jog her memory, severely impaired by Alzheimer's disease, and, miraculously, he succeeds, much to the amazement of the hospital staff. There is something suspect about a romantic relationship that reaches its acme when one of the partners is in the throes of dementia, but then, this is well within the confines of the romance genre--love conquers all, even Alzheimer's, leaving the medical experts (and this reviewer) confounded. If you want to read a novel in which the romance is grounded in something real, and the magic is truly magical, read the work of Alice Hoffman. If you want to read an upscale Harlequin romance with great crossover appeal, then read The Notebook.     Joanne Wilkinson          From AudioFile     Two ordinary people are rendered extraordinary by the strength, power and beauty of true love; each brings out the best in the other, and their pure love endures. The dual performance of Kate Nelligan and Campbell Scott enhances this smooth abridgment of Sparks's lyrical novel. With the perspectives of both characters presented, one has a sense of hearing the whole story. Nelligan's genteel, Southern tones blend perfectly with Scott's straightforward, gentle, often sensuous baritone. The readers deliver strong characterizations of both the younger, passionate lovers and the matured, easily fatigued, nursing home residents they become. Allie and Noah's heartrending story will touch the heart and soul of any listener who has ever loved a kindred spirit. J.H.B.An AUDIOFILE Earphones Award winner.          From Kirkus Reviews     Sparks's debut is a contender in the Robert Waller book-sweeps for most shamelessly sentimental love story, with honorable mention for highest octane schmaltz throughout an extended narrative. New Bern is the Carolina town where local boy Noah Calhoun and visitor Allison Nelson fall in love, in 1932, when Noah is 17 and Allie 15 (``as he . . . met those striking emerald eyes, he knew . . . she was the one he could spend the rest of his life looking for but never find again''). Allie's socially prominent mom, however, sees their Romeo-and-Juliet affair differently, intercepting Noah's heartrendingly poetic love-letters, while Allie, sure he doesn't love her, never even sends hers. Love is forever, though, and in 1946 Allie sees a piece in the paper about Noah (he's back home after WW II, still alone, living in a 200-year-old house in the country) and drives down to see him, telling the socially prominent lawyer she's engaged to that she's gone looking for antiques (`` `And here it will end, one way or the other,' she whispered''). And together again the lovers come indeed, during a thunderstorm, before a crackling fire, leaving the poetic Noah to reflect that ``to him, the evening would be remembered as one of the most special times he had ever had.'' So, will Allie marry her lawyer? Will Noah live out his life alone, rocking on his porch, paddling up the creek, ``playing his guitar for beavers and geese and wild blue herons''? Suffice it to say that love will go on, somehow, for 140 more pages, readers will find out what the title means and may or may not agree with Allie, of Noah: ``You are the most forgiving and peaceful man I know. God is with you, He must be, for you are the closest thing to an angel that I've ever met.'' An epic of treacle, an ocean of tears, made possible by a perfect, ideal, unalloyed absence of humor. Destined, positively, for success. (First serial to Good Housekeeping; film rights to New Line Cinema; Literary Guild selection)          Book Dimension     length: (cm)17.1 width:(cm)11.3

Around the world in eighty days /

作者：  Jules Verne ; translated by George Mokepeace Towle.

出版社：

简介：     Around the World in Eighty Days (French: Le tour du monde en quatre-vingts jours) is a classic adventure novel by the French writer Jules Verne, first published in 1872. In the story, Phileas Fogg of London and his newly-employed French valet Passepartout attempt to circumnavigate the world in 80 days on a ￡20,000 wager set by his friends at the Reform Club.          Publisher Comments:          Jules Verne Great excitement and awe greeted its publication in 1873, and today Around the World in Eighty Days remains Jules Verne’s most successful novel. A daring wager by the eccentric and mysterious Englishman Phileas Fogg that he can circle the globe in just eighty days initiates this marvelous travelogue and exciting suspense story. Together with his manservant, Passepartout, Fogg makes a breathless world tour, overcoming wild misadventures and finding time to rescue a beautiful Indian maharani from a burning funeral pyre—all the while restlessly pursued by a bumbling detective called Mr. Fix. Realistically utilizing nearly every means of transportation known in the 1870s, Around the World in Eighty Days generated enchantment with scientific progress—and its delightful mixture of fantasy, comedy, and dazzling suspense has kept it a perennially superb entertainment.          From School Library Journal          Grade 6 Up?To most modern kids, classics may be great, worthy, even exciting stories, but they were written in and for their own times and the context can sometimes be obscure. Using the visually irresistible printing techniques popularized by the "Eyewitness" series, these two books, when prominently displayed, will probably attract more impulse readers than some of the dustier editions. But do they accomplish their stated aim? Direct textual illustration is plentiful, lively, and useful. The reproductions of prints, photographs, and maps that pepper each page and are intended to enhance readers' grasp of the times, however, are a mixed success. There is a sameness to them and an arbitrary feel to their use. Pirate buffs will find Treasure Island's variety of ship drawings, details of sailing minutiae, and photographs of pieces of eight or guns and swords quite satisfying. Verne's work is less enhanced by its graphics. This episodic travelogue would be best served by lots of clear maps with the route well marked. But the few maps shown are so small that the legends are unreadable and country and city names are blurred. Limitations aside, the initial appeal of this fresh approach may serve to attract some new readers to these enduring stories that have managed without any help for this long.?Sally Margolis, formerly at Deerfield Public Library, IL          From AudioFile          On a wager with his chums at the Reform Club, Phileas Fogg attempts the trip described in the title of this classic adventure novel. Burton does a fine job reading this skillful abridgment, changing voices effectively and pacing himself well. Classical music is used as an effective bridge between chapters. Superior liner notes include a chapter outline, a brief biographical sketch of Verne and a list of the music used in the program. P.B.J.          About the Author          Jules Verne was born into a family with a seafaring tradition in Nantes, France in 1828. Verne was sent to Paris to study law, but once there, he quickly fell in love with the theater. He was soon writing plays and opera librettos, and his first play was produced in 1850. When he refused his father's entreaties to return to Nantes and practice law, his allowance was cut off, and he was forced to make his living by selling stories and articles. Soon he was turning out imaginative stories such as Five Weeks in a Balloon (1863), Journey to the Center of the Earth (1864), and From the Earth to the Moon (1865), which were immensely popular all over the world. His ability to envision the next stage in man's technological progress produced 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea (1870) and Michael Strogoff (1876). His biggest success came with Around the World in Eighty Days (1872). Verne's books made him famous and rich. In 1876, he bought a large steam yacht in which he could write more comfortably than on shore. His books were widely translated, dramatized, and later filmed. He died in Amiens in 1905.          Book Dimension     Height (mm) 176 Width (mm) 110

简介：　　我们经常在听到外国人讲中文时感觉很别扭，怪怪的。究其原因，除了缺乏操练、水平不高以外，主要是他们对中文的四个声调把握不准，运用不当。那么，中国人讲英语是否也存在南腔北调呢?答案是肯定的，其原因也是由于不能正确把握英语的重音和语调，该重不重，该轻不轻，造成表达不清，交流困难。 　　 语言学习的目的是交流，因此，听说能力的培养至关重要。教育部在2004年颁布的《大学英语课程教学要求》中明确指出:大学英语的教学目的是培养学生的英语综合应用能力，特别是听说能力，使他们在今后工作和社会交往中能够用英语有效地进行口头和书面的信息交流，以适应我国社会发展和国际交流的需要。由 此可见，非英语专业学生英语口语能力的培养已经引起领导部门的高度重视。 　　 英语作为世界语言在其漫长的历史发展过程中不断丰富和完善，也正是由于其历史悠久、覆盖面广，使得英语从语音、语法到词汇等诸方面都显得复杂和琐碎。作为从事英语教学多年的教育工作者，我们对中国学生英语语音问题进行了追踪观察，分析、归纳、总结了中国人在英语读音方面容易出现的错误，感觉有必要让中国学生全面了解英语语音方面的知识，从理论和实践上切实掌握英语读音，以便提高英语的综合素质和使用英语的形象。基于此目的，我们编著了本书。 　　 本书的特点:分析全面，数据翔实，重点突出。 　　 全书共分五章:第一章是历史回顾，着重探讨了英语重音的发展变化及其原因;第二章是词汇重音，分析了日耳曼语与拉丁语的词汇重音区别;第三章讲的是词尾重音规则;第四章是关于合成词及其重音问题;第五章分析英语重音转移的规则。 　　 本书采用国际通用的webster 大词典的注音体系标注单词音标。 　　 本书适用于英语语音学者及其他英语爱好者。

简介：　　What is it in a story that takes it to the New York Times Best Seller List for three years or 156 weeks? When I read this book, that was what I wanted to know. I look at the book on the shelf and think, "What was there that I just did not get?" 　　The love story set in the 1960s is about Robert Kincaid, a renowned photographer, and a Francesca Johnson, a farm wife. The story is based on her diaries and the personal effects he had sent to her after he died. 　　She is secluded and alone much of the time. When Robert comes to photograph the bridges, her family is away at the state fair. They are, like Romeo and Juliet, star-crossed lovers who will only remain in each other's hearts and minds for all of their life, though they only shared four days. Her diaries indicate that for about thirty years Francesca maintained the emotional contact she committed to Kincaid by seeing his photography in National Geography, news clippings, and reading the articles written about him. 　　It is easy to be in love for four days. Anyone can. New love is exciting, romance is thrilling, and a new lover's touch is magical. Yes, it will last forever -- if you do not have to wake up to reality. It was simple to see this aspect of the enchantment about their story. Francesca wrote of the agony that she felt when choosing whether to go with Kincaid or stay with her family, her children. This was the crux of her story; stay with her husband and children, or run off with a stranger. 　　I could never understand that, my child is first. Today the book is on my daughter's shelf, and she knows more about the emotions that drove Kincaid and Francesca than I ever will. I am too practical; but she tells me I have never loved as they did -- and she just might be right because I still wonder why this book sold millions. Suspend disbelief and enjoy the romantic interlude. 　　Perhaps I should have seen the movie (I am a Clint Eastwood fan). For me the book was worth three stars, but the millions of people who loved this book and movie cannot all be wrong, so it must be a five. I guess I will give it a four. 　　Victoria Tarrani 　　from Amazon.com

简介：Call Me by Your Name is the story of a sudden and powerful romance that blossoms between an adolescent boy and a summer guest at his parents' house, a cliff-side mansion on the Italian Riviera. Unprepared for the consequences of their attraction, at first each feigns indifference to the other. But during the warm, languorous summer weeks that follow, unrelenting buried currents of obsession and fear, fascination and desire, intensify their passion as they test the charged ground between them. What grows from the depths of their spirits is a romance of scarcely six weeks' duration and an experience that marks them for a lifetime. For what the two discover on the Riviera and on a sultry evening in Rome is the one thing both already fear they may never truly find again: total intimacy. The psychological maneuvers that accompany attraction have seldom been more shrewdly captured as in Andre; Aciman's frank, unsentimental, heartrending elegy to human passion. Call Me by Your Name is clear-eyed, bare-knuckled, and ultimately unforgettable. - Dust jacket.

简介：A Thousand Splendid Suns is a breathtaking story set against the volatile events of Afghanistan's last thirty years - from the Soviet invasion to the reign of the Taliban to post-Taliban rebuilding - that puts the violence, fear, hope, and faith of this country in intimate, human terms. It is a tale of two generations of characters brought jarringly together by the tragic sweep of war, where personal lives - the struggle to survive, raise a family, find happiness - are inextricable from the history playing out around them. Propelled by the same storytelling instinct that made The Kite Runner a beloved classic, A Thousand Splendid Suns is at once a remarkable chronicle of three decades of Afghan history and a deeply moving account of family and friendship. It is a striking, heart-wrenching novel of an unforgiving time, an unlikely friendship, and an indestructible love - a stunning accomplishment. - Dust jacket. After 103 weeks on the New York Times bestseller list and with four million copies of The Kite Runner shipped, Khaled Hosseini returns with a beautiful, riveting, and haunting novel that confirms his place as one of the most important literary writers today. Propelled by the same superb instinct for storytelling that made The Kite Runner a beloved classic, A Thousand Splendid Suns is at once an incredible chronicle of thirty years of Afghan history and a deeply moving story of family, friendship, faith, and the salvation to be found in love. Born a generation apart and with very different ideas about love and family, Mariam and Laila are two women brought jarringly together by war, by loss and by fate. As they endure the ever escalating dangers around them-in their home as well as in the streets of Kabul-they come to form a bond that makes them both sisters and mother-daughter to each other, and that will ultimately alter the course not just of their own lives but of the next generation. With heart-wrenching power and suspense, Hosseini shows how a woman's love for her family can move her to shocking and heroic acts of self-sacrifice, and that in the end it is love, or even the memory of love, that is often the key to survival. A stunning accomplishment, A Thousand Splendid Suns is a haunting, heartbreaking, compelling story of an unforgiving time, an unlikely friendship, and an indestructible love. - Publisher.
