Fikrys ordinary-yet-extraordinary life, the author Gabielle Zevin has thrown every clichs(老生常谈) into the mix. The hero, AJ. Fikry, lost

11、his beloved wife Nic in a road accident. The sales of his bookstore have been decreasing. The enthusiastic new sales representative Amelia wont stop annoying him with new books. His rare and very valuable first edition has gone missing. But the unexpected arrival of Maya left in his care brings abou

12、t a series of events with love and hope to his life.There are few real surprises in the plot and attentive readers will be able to tell where the story is headed. But that is not the point; the clichs and the predictable plot take nothing away from Zevins work The Storied Life of AJ. Fikry because i

13、ts how she tells the story that first charms the readers, then holds their attention, making them read the whole book in a single sitting and finally give the book a long hug when they are finished.

14、 or a book and a note from AJ. Fikry describing what he likes about it, essentially introducing each character by what they read. The characters are so realistic that its hard not to fall in love with all of them: Maya, “the fantastic book-worm,” Amelia, “the giantess” with questionable taste in fas

15、hion, Lambiase, the adorable police chief, and AJ. Fikry, the reluctant hero who hates electronic reading devices that will “send centuries of a lively culture into what will surely be a rapid decline.”The passage of time, race issues, and the bureaucratic argument of childrens services are all put

16、aside in the telling of this story, not because theres anything to hide or because reality is not allowed to interfere, but because the author chooses to focus on the important stuff. For example, it focuses on Lambiase who organizes a reading club for policemen at the book store. His original inten

17、tion is to help promote business, but over the years he becomes a genuine book-lover, one who tends to always have simple advice for his cynical(愤世嫉俗的) friend, AJ. Fikry. “Bad timing,” Lambiase claims, “Ive been a police officer for twenty years now and Ill tell you pretty much every bad thing in li

18、fe is a result of bad timing, and every good thing is the result of good timing.”More than anything else, this novel is not only about the selling of them or the reading of them, but how books and stories become part of our lives, how we find ourselves within what we read and how we carry books with

19、 us. It is also about the power of unexpected happiness and always believing that something wonderful is just around the corner. The Late Bloomer is the book within a book which brings together AJ. Fikry and Amelia. It reminds them that life doesnt follow a set script, things happen when they are me

20、ant to happen, and there is no such thing as “too late” for anything. Life is the big picture. Always look at the big picture. Enjoy it. Dont get too concentrated on the details, because it will all be over before you know it. In the long run nobody, not even you, will remember the ordinary details

21、because they are, in the end, quite irrelevant.AJ. Fikrys final words of wisdom to teen-aged Maya convey the same feelings in literary terms: “We are not quite novels. We are not quite short stories. In the end, we are collected works. We have read enough to know there are no collections where each
