The nine stories show various modern people's wonderful struggles with fate, and demonstrate the author's strong writing power of using reasoning to write emotions and using emotions to promote reasoning. The novels are nerve-wracking and heart-warming to read - "The Decision of the First Moon" tells the story of the New Year's adventures of a desperate small factory owner couple; "The Tenth Valentine's Day" tells the story of lovers who meet again ten years later but each has their own agenda; "Celebrating Daughter's Day Alone Tonight" tells the story of a father who is reluctant to marry his daughter and discovers the wisdom of his deceased wife in a doll; "Cheers to Your Eyes" tells the story How the eyes reveal the identity of the prisoner; "Rent Baby" tells the story of a single urban woman spending the holidays with a robot baby; "The Broken Watch" tells how overthinking prisoners make miscalculations; "The Miracle of Sapphire" tells the relationship between a precious cat and a girl; "A Christmas Mystery" tells the story of the revenge of a famous female screenwriter after her death; "The Crystal Rosary" tells the story of the deep and great father's love...
Reader comments
This is the first time I have read a book by Keigo Higashino, which is divided into several short stories.
In a book of this type, the plot summary of each short story is generally simpler than that of a novel, making it easier for readers to understand. However, I think this type of book actually tests the author's ability more, because it is necessary to write short stories without being boring, and at the same time maintain a certain level of excitement. Among these short stories, several stories are written directly from the perspective of the murderer. This should be relatively rare in Keigo Higashino's books, and it also gives readers a new perspective to experience the story. There are also some touching stories with a mysterious twist.
It should be regarded as a relatively new writing method of Higashino Keigo. It's very interesting, and each short story is like a bedtime story without being boring.
Beautiful, very imaginative
As expected of Keigo Higashino, the ending of the story is unexpected, which makes it even more impressive. I really like the plot design.
Worth recommending, art knows no borders.
I will read it again!
Small stories are more comfortable to read and can be read faster than long stories.
The last story is really great
Nine stories, nine levels of humanity! Each story contains profound meaning and is thought-provoking!
These stories are very interesting and touching. I really like little stories like this [laughs][laughs] Hee~
