"Intricate unsolved cases, mysteries that have lasted for hundreds of years. The bodies of young couples were pierced by samurai swords; a girl who fell in love at first sight disappeared from the world; a college student jumped to his death after drinking Coke; a robber broke into a house and killed someone but only took away a pot of flowers... The yellow morning glory that once existed in modern times suddenly disappeared in modern times, leaving only the legend of the "dream flower" that "it will destroy itself once pursued." And as the yellow morning glory reappeared in the world, the fate of four strange families was closely linked.
What exactly is a fantasy flower? Why do you want to play with our lives? "
Reader comments
"In this world, there are so-called negative legacies. If these negative legacies will disappear naturally, of course you can ignore them, but if they cannot disappear, someone must inherit them." This sentence is so quintessential.
I think this story is well written, especially the final sublimation. In this world, what we leave behind is not only good results, but also many negatives. It is precisely because there are people carrying the retrograde burdens for us that we can live in this peaceful world. There are always some people who silently protect mankind in areas that no one can see.
Love Higashino Keigo! Higashino's writing style is all about mediocrity mixed together at first and climaxing with clues stringing together, but I still feel that Higashino's books look better in real form (◦˙▽˙◦)
It didn't really appeal to me at first, so I put it aside for a semester and picked it up during the winter break when I had nothing else to do. Then in the middle, the case became more complicated, with many characters and stories, and they seemed to be independent stories that were not related, which made me have a lot of questions. There was too much information, and my mind felt a little confused. But the more I understood, the more I wanted to know the truth, so I kept watching it these days. After reading the story, all the stories are connected together, the logical lines are clear, and I feel that a lot of truth has been sublimated. All in all, I really like Keigo Higashino's novels, and I didn't regret reading this one.
I really lack the ability to think about investigations. At first, I suspected that the murderer was Officer Hayase, Kamou Kasuke or even Yuta. I didn't expect that it was Masaya Oshirt who was revealed to the public. It was really unexpected. The most exciting point in the book for me was the part where after Rino posted "The Unknown Yellow Flower" on Shuji's blog, Souta immediately deleted the reply and quit the blog. After seeing this paragraph, my heart was beating wildly, and the strings in my brain were instantly tightened. After thinking about it carefully, there was a series of suspense and horror that had a long aftertaste and was worth pondering. In a word is a suspenseful mystery short story that I hope more fans will read.
The story line of this book spans a long time and is very complete as a whole. From the beginning, I felt that Hino was suspicious, but I didn't expect that the murderer turned out to be Masaya. Although I had many questions during the reading process, it was very relaxing. After reading it, I felt that although the story is simple, it can leave something valuable and meaningful in my heart.
The characters are well-developed. Both Kaname and Takami embarked on this path of finding the "dream flower" because of their family inheritance obligations. They are two very responsible people.
Souta and Rino also strengthened their lives due to a series of events, insisting on researching nuclear power & trying to swim again.
Anyone who has a dream is great. To Shanghe Yazai, who loves music, I want to say: Most people in the world are mediocre people, living an ordinary life, and there are not so many so-called "geniuses". But there is happiness in the ordinary, perfect yourself, accompany your family, and take responsibility. As long as you do your own thing, let nature take its course, and be less obsessed. After all, a person can only live for more than 30,000 days at most. If he is pessimistic and world-weary, has low self-esteem and is sad all day long, it will be wasted. I hope everyone in front of the screen can live an active life and be happy every day ~
In this world, there are always places where you can't see others carrying the burden for you. Some people are born rich, and this must be the result of the efforts of the previous generation. In order to change our destiny, we must work hard!
Finished reading [OK] I am more interested in books such as suspense and reasoning, and the first one I came into contact with was Keigo Higashino's "The Worry-Free Grocery Store". I personally think that you should start reading with something that interests you (because if you start reading something that is obscure and difficult to understand, it will give you a headache and you will not be able to understand it. Over time, you will become resistant to reading) and then slowly expand the field. My favorite character in "Dream Flower" is Akiyama Rino's grandfather👴🏻. The evaluation of him in the book: he has a great sense of justice, is serious and responsible in his work, is kind, has a meticulous love for his children, and also loves to grow flowers (plants). I felt very angry about his death. He was so kind and just, but he was killed [crying] [crying] Isn't it said that good people are rewarded? At least it shouldn't be this ending. But! Looking back at reality, good people may not necessarily be rewarded, but doing good deeds can at least give you peace of mind and follow your heart. When you think of it at a certain moment, you may be glad that you made the right choice at that time. The other characters in it are also very well created, such as Kasuke Kamou. At first, I thought he was a difficult person, giving off the feeling of being thousands of miles away from others, and his personality was also cold and super serious [face covering]. Later, when he confessed everything to his younger brother, I realized that he actually loved his younger brother very much, too [laughing] just in another way. I don't know if that's the right thing to say.
Keigo Higashino's works can always arouse people's thinking. The story lines of love, hate, and hatred, with endless overt and dark lines, always end in an unexpected way. Reality and imagination are intertwined. There is really no way not to love it!
Its theme is very grand, and the story is indeed boring (so boring that I gave up after reading it halfway through, and then read it again and finished it half a year later. I hope you can stick with it and it will really amaze you). This is a book that discusses social development, and its gold content is extremely high. I also didn't expect that the character that stood out to me in the end was Takami, a character with almost no lines. Then she was the killer when she opened her mouth. Keigo Higashino was really awesome. In just a few words, he outlined the role of a gentle, beautiful, perfect mother with both brainpower and appearance! [Adoration][Blowing kiss]
It's wonderful, "There are also negative legacies in this world. If these negative legacies will disappear naturally, of course you can ignore them, but if they cannot disappear, someone must inherit them, and it doesn't matter even if that person is me."
I believe that there are many people in this world who are silently inheriting negative legacies. Otherwise, how could our society be so colorful [laughs]
Every time you read a book, every time you read a story, you will have different insights. After reading a book you like, you will become very happy. This may be the power of books. Sure enough, people still need to read more [laughs]
It's quite similar to Hayao Miyazaki's movies. It has its own theme, the history is interspersed very subtly, and the content is confusing [thinking]. It's always hard to imagine who the murderer is [stunned]. As always, after reading the beginning, it was like reading it in one breath.
This book is really amazing. It is a form of opening low and going high, especially what is written in the book: "In this world, there are so-called negative legacies. If these negative legacies will disappear naturally, of course you can ignore them, but if they cannot disappear, someone must inherit them. Even then It doesn't matter to me personally. "This passage touched me very much. It is a touching suspense novel. The author wrote it really well, and the ending is also very good. Rino Akiyama also mustered up the courage to swim again and challenge this ending. It is really sublime. I highly recommend everyone to read it! If we encounter setbacks in life, it is for us to grow.
The plot direction of each of Keigo Higashino's books is unpredictable to me. When I first saw the content, which looked like independent short stories, I was curious about how the author would connect them. I didn't expect that it would be so smooth and coherent in the end, with one murder case leading to the stories of several families and generations.
What impressed me most after reading this book is responsibility. Neither Kaname nor Ito had the right to choose, and were forced to shoulder the responsibilities of the family. Responsibility falls on people, and sometimes it is a burden. Without this heavy responsibility, Kaname and Ito may not have the maturity beyond their years. They may have the same age-appropriate simplicity as Sota Rino, and they don't have to worry about yellow morning glories. So while I admire Kaname and Ito's spirit of responsibility, I also think it's a tragedy that their lives are forced to bear the responsibilities left by their ancestors.
This is the first novel I have read (I am ashamed). Teacher Keigo Higashino enlightened my thinking about reading and made me truly feel a story about friendship, family, love, dreams, talents, confusion, persistence and redemption, and I benefited a lot. Seeing the emergence of new concepts about negative legacy at the end is a sublimation. He taught me how to think, taught me responsibility, and taught me how to view other people's behavior correctly and rationally... In short, this book gave me a good introduction to the world of reading and expanded my thinking. Five-star recommendation.
The foreshadowing is wonderful, slowly connected bit by bit, and almost no detail is useless. There are many different but related mysteries buried, and as the story progresses, the answers will also surface. Several groups started investigating separately, and finally worked together to piece together the undoubted truth. Just looking at it will give you a feeling of sudden enlightenment, and you won't be able to figure it out once you look at it.
The subject matter is also well chosen, with a sense of social responsibility. There was also some discussion based on the nuclear leak, and I hope there really are so many people like Souta.
I hope Hayase can get back together with his wife and children, and Rino can continue swimming.
Akiyama Shuji's death was really tragic. He spent his whole life doing good deeds and accumulating virtue, but he ended up dying like this... Sigh. I hope good people don't end up like this again.
There are a lot of foreshadowings in the novel, but the author handles it very well. At the end of the book, it is reasonable and reasonable to explain the whole incident from multiple perspectives, connecting all the foreshadowings, which makes people admire the author's thinking ability. The narrative of the novel is also very unique. The process of solving the case is not just from a single perspective, but from multiple perspectives, introducing the entire process to the reader, interspersed with the character experiences from each perspective, resulting in the reader's horizons becoming wider while enjoying the reasoning, which also enhances the interest of the novel.
For me, I was very shocked. Although the process of the case was very ordinary, the investigation process was fascinating. Maybe the seemingly ordinary things around us also have connotations different from the surface. This also made me feel that I need to take everything in life seriously. The process may sometimes be more exciting than the result. If you put down your utilitarianism, you may see a different scenery.
The most fascinating thing in this book is the last sentence of the book: He looked out the window, and the white clouds covering the sky dispersed, revealing a small piece of blue sky. May there be a moment in our lives when the white clouds break through and the blue sky is revealed.
This is a warm socialist mystery work with delicate writing style and warm plot. The story line is very long and spans nearly fifty years. The murderer and the motive of the crime were beyond my expectations, and it also made people sigh: it is very important to accept one's own ordinaryness and reconcile with oneself.
"When you are in pain, you might as well think that you have grown through this pain, and then you will feel that this year is also very beautiful."
Good review, the information converges more and more intensively in the later stages. Many of the foreshadowings in the previous chapters are not recovered until much later, including the characters. It is easy to forget if you read it discontinuously, so I will go back to the front several times to reconfirm the information and characters. It was a little boring at the beginning, and I couldn't tell which information was important and which was not. It might make me unable to read, and the characters were easy to remember. It started low and ended high. The ending was also related to the social phenomenon that I was interested in, and it was also sublimated very appropriately. The character creation is also excellent, whether it is the person who made the mistake, the person who tried his best to investigate, or the person who took the responsibility to solve the remaining problems. Overall, it's excellent. After getting through the dense information in the early stages and the jumping narrative in the prologue, you'll feel comfortable in the later stages.
Try to read all his books, regardless of nationality, just the words.
I like the word "negative legacy" very much. While we get the positive legacy, please don't forget the negative legacy. No matter what, good or bad, people need to inherit it.
It is indeed a suspenseful masterpiece created by Mr. Keigo Higashino for ten years. It uses mysterious yellow morning glories to connect multiple murder cases and integrates family mission and human nature discussion. In addition to reasoning, it also emphasizes responsibility and inheritance, showing the responsibility of "bearing a legacy", which is warm and profound.
"In this world, there are so-called negative legacies. "If these negative legacies will disappear naturally, of course you can ignore them, but if they cannot disappear, someone must inherit them, and it doesn't matter even if that person is me. "This is an obligation and a responsibility.
It is really terrible to envy others. Even if you are excellent, you still feel that your qualifications are mediocre. Those envy and jealousy can really torture people, and even lead to death and crime. There are many outstanding people. There is no need to envy them. You also have your own advantages. After all, you will more or less meet people who are better than you in your life, but in the end you still have to walk the road yourself.
The final case was not solved very well, but I liked the plot very much. The plots related to the case unfolded one by one, and the conflicts between families were very real. Finally, I really like grandpa's reply! !
Inspirational to read every book by Higashikata!!!
His way of writing is different from others. It's a bit unclear at the beginning, but after reading it, you find that it's all digging holes for the subsequent storyline. It's as good as ever, very special! Jieyou Grocery Store and White Night Journey are the best-written and most suspenseful ones in my opinion!
The plot is fascinating, and the mystery is finally revealed, allowing readers to suddenly understand.
It would be best if the negative inheritance could disappear automatically, otherwise I could just inherit it. A very responsible role~
The ending is unexpected. Human jealousy is so terrible. Geniuses still have to be worked out by oneself. I believe that Rino Akiyama was not born with talent. She has made a name for herself by relying on her love for swimming and high-intensity training. It can be seen that there is no shortcut to becoming a genius. It is gratifying that the main staff also realized the principles of life from the "Dream Flower Incident".
