Letter (Hardcover)

After people experience many bad things, it is difficult to be the same as before, whether it is personality or way of thinking. It is even more difficult to maintain a pure heart. (When I was a kid, I loved to laugh a lot, and I had a lot of imagination about the future. When I grew up, I didn't love to laugh so much, and my requirements for myself were just existence. Perhaps the taste of growing up is to gain new life through constant loss.) Some mistakes can be forgiven and some cannot. There are upper and lower limits on fault tolerance. In the darkest moments of life, it is also a blessing to have someone by your side. Just like Yumiko has always been by Naoki's side, she embraced his loneliness, and two broken people found a haven from the wind. It must be very warm. I hope everyone is living a good life. Even if today is not good, tomorrow will be a brand new day! Come on! Ah C

" Yes, one person makes a mistake and the whole family suffers. You should think twice before acting impulsively under any circumstances. Naoki has been burdened with too much. It's hard work. The brother in prison thinks that understanding his younger brother in a relaxed tone is a kind of companionship, but he doesn't know that it is Naoki's nightmare, and he falls into the abyss again and again. Fortunately, Naoki has a family and a person he wants to protect, and he dares to give up a family relationship, but after all, he seems to be a kind person. The separation is so innocent. Relatives may be tired of being together for a long time, and sometimes they are hurt and unfair and sincerely help to overcome difficulties. Generally speaking, innocent people should not bear the consequences. Be more confident and generous. Even if you are in the abyss, there will always be a light shining in. After hard work, if you are overwhelmed, then escape from the world, collect your mood, and move on.

After reading this book, I discovered that perhaps many behaviors in daily life may be discriminatory, such as sympathy for victims. Adding sympathy to the normal interactions in the past will change the flavor of the interactions between the two parties. Every conversation with the manager of the electrical appliance store will give the protagonist new insights and a turning point in the plot. It also makes me think about the meaning of the words and how to spend the rest of my life. Maybe this is the noble person I will meet in life. The character I admire the most is Yumiko, a person who has been throughout the protagonist's life (the life after the protagonist's brother was imprisoned). From the first time she gave the protagonist an apple in the cafeteria, I felt that she would be the protagonist's biggest support in life.

If "White Night Walk" is about how "evil" grows, "The Letter" is about how "crime" spreads. It reveals the silent and larger group of victims behind the crime - family members. "A world without discrimination and prejudice is just a product of imagination." The value of "The Letter" lies in forcing us to look squarely at this cruel reality. A novel well worth reading.

Self-sacrifice may not necessarily achieve success for others. This is how I felt after reading this book... I felt very depressed. No one was at fault, but whose fault was it? Especially in the last part of the performance in the prison, my brother sat thinly in the audience with his hands on his chest as if praying! Who can understand when I cry like a dog in the middle of the night, friends!

Don't know if discrimination is right or wrong? We have become discriminators without even realizing it. The president's words are right: "Criminals should also wake up. It's not just about going to jail. They must realize that they are not the only ones being punished."

Condolences to Ms. Ogata. In fact, there is also a Chinese causal relationship. Takeshi Takeshima stole and even killed someone to pay for his younger brother's tuition. He was tried and jailed. But Naoki Takeshima spent his whole life to atone for this, and he was always burdened with the crime of murdering his younger brother, and suffered the pain of this world, starting from the time when his brother left, and since he was a child. There is no worse ending than this. There is no worse ending than this. (An accident caused by a theft changed the fate of the people in the book and involved Naoki's life.) I'm not saying it's bad, I'm just lamenting the gratuitous arrangement of the fates of Ms. Ogata, Naoki Takeshima and Takeshi Takeshima, as well as every choice made by the people in the book. Impermanence It is Naoki who atones. They hope that Naoki will be happy, but they don't want to have much to do with them.

This book deeply reflects human nature and social issues through a touching story. During this creative stage, Keigo Higashino became more and more comfortable in exploring human nature and social issues, further consolidating his image as a "human nature writer". As readers have said, although the letter is light, it carries a heavy heart.

Realistically speaking, if one person does the work and only one person is responsible, the harm will not affect the family. But what is very realistic is that the protagonist, a kind and honest young man, suffered a series of discrimination in the real society because his brother, who depended on him for life, committed a crime. Later, he had to cut off the relationship with his brother because his wife and daughter had a different life. Later, when I saw the letter from my brother, I burst into tears just like the protagonist. Very realistic. I have always liked Higashino Keigo's novels. The protagonists are described with delicate emotions, good nature, rich emotions, and deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

Uncle Dong is another very different novel, not so much suspenseful reasoning but still gripping~ The sense of intimacy and immersion seems to be even stronger~ "The author sets up mirrors in every corner of the story, waiting to make readers look at themselves standing in the mirror in surprise. Almost all people believe that they have nothing to do with discrimination. They feel indignant and disgusted with the discrimination that exists in the world, and they never believe that they are on the side of discrimination. "

It's so beautiful, fascinating, and a heavy topic. A life wandering on the edge of despair. I saw a little hope just now, and fell into the abyss the next second. The good and evil of human nature wander in the gray area. The book is like myself reflected in the mirror. It turns out that I am also such a viewer. I also look at people who I think have problems with colored glasses. I put various labels on others. That person is not easy to get along with. , This person's psychology is a bit twisted, stereotyped, and formulaic, and he puts people into various boxes and treats them differently. I have never felt that this is wrong. Xin Hao read this book, reflected on himself, and slowly corrected it, because people's habits and ways of thinking are not overnight. I want to listen to Lennon's imagination and review The Catcher in the Rye. Maybe I will have a different feeling. A book worth reading and highly recommended.

After watching this, I can only say that it's true, everyone is very sad.

After reading a good book, I always feel that I am still unfinished. I really want to see what their lives will be like after his brother comes out, whether there will be changes, whether there will be a reversal, and a very open ending. But I have a bit of controversy about one of the quotes: Two brothers have completely different lives because of one thing. With such expectations, I originally thought that the younger brother would be the complete opposite of the older brother, becoming a singer or marrying a partner with a good family, but the younger brother was almost successful time and time again but failed because of the older brother's time. On the contrary, it gave me a similar tragic feeling to their lives. But this also made me realize more that you really can't be impulsive in life, and you can't make mistakes easily. Any mistakes will have relative consequences, not only for yourself but also for the people around you. Before any problems or things, you must find a way to achieve the optimal solution. You must think about the consequences of doing so, think twice before you act, don't speak nonsense, and don't be impulsive.

The story is a series of fragments connected by letters, looking forward to sending letters, receiving letters with avoidance, and writing letters with caution. What is the theme of this book, you ask? I really can't tell. This is a world that has never been touched before. It seems that I have never really seen this world from the perspective of criminals' relatives. Are you talking about Naoki's crime? His biggest sin is having a good brother. The crime my brother committed is an inner demon and a scar that can never be erased. It is different from the scar left by the robbery of my daughter, but only when the two reflect each other can they reflect the reality of this society. You ask me why I am a good brother. Didn't he steal and kill? It can only be said that you have not yet entered this book. While watching, I was conflicted and confused, but it was these feelings that allowed me to get closer to them little by little. It lacks one star because I think his subject is too narrow. In our society, there are countless people who suffer from discrimination, and there are many more prejudices that are not caused by criminals. But I once thought that after reading it, I would realize this, which is actually exactly what the author wanted to express. This time, I also entered the world of "Imagination". Finally, do you still remember the fragments from the previous article? Surrounded by pieces, what is reflected is actually our faces.

This is a rare work among Keigo Higashino's works that has no reasoning elements at all, but it is very profound and heavy.

It looks so good. I bought it. Both of us at home love it. It tastes better than spicy slippers. It's also fun in the toilet. The Zhejiang spotted hyena wearing a bikini has very sharp teeth. The leech saw Shenzhen Airlines and asked the stewardess if she had Coke!

Every time I am fascinated by Higashino Keigo's books day and night, I will not give up until the last page, and it is still the same this time; people not only have the weaknesses of human nature, but also have the beauty and splendor outside of human nature that is obscured by human nature!

This book uses letters between brothers as clues to show the impact of family and society on a person. It touched me deeply, just like the book said, "Because my brother killed someone, am I also obliterated by this society?" We can't choose our own family, but we can choose our own path in life. This book is worth reading and I recommend it to you.

I thought it was a murder story, but I didn't expect it to be a relatively plain narrative, a bit pale but also a bit real, a bit like life.

It's great that an inspirational story can be written like this. At first I thought it was inspirational, but the more I watched it, the more serious it became. The author captured the immaturity of young people and their psychological reactions after lying just right, and also vividly displayed the prejudices of real society, which made people feel uncomfortable, but this is real life. This book doesn't feel like Keigo Higashino's style. This book is not recommended. It makes me feel heavy after reading it. How serious is the prejudice of the world, and it may include you and me, but we think it is normal and correct. But this book also has a positive side, telling young people how to behave, not to be selfish, not to lie, and to be positive in any situation. Also, this book doesn't look like Keigo Higashino's style.

I feel sad after reading it [crying]

Shocked, extremely shocked inside, a little speechless

I finished watching it last night and will listen to "Imagine" today.

A good book with a plot that is not too bizarre and requires patience to read.

Very delicate words and expressions, deeply attracted

A good book

Beautiful and thought-provoking

Like Keigo Higashino

There's not much to say, Higashino's book has five stars.

The prejudice in people's hearts is a big mountain
