這本書買了好幾年了，每次看兩頁就放下，大概是我對 Louis Sachar 的小說期待沒有變通轉寰的餘地。

今天應該閱卷，所以就開始狂嗑不相干的書。打成績好煩！算成績更煩！

一個早上就看完了，故事有點薄弱，但是情感很強，可以記得很久的那種小說。

還好有個逼死人的閱卷期限，讓我享受一個早上的短暫自由。

Louis Sachar 寫詩/歌詞 也很棒呢！這首主題歌預示希望，串起整個故事的細節。

It's a lonely kind of feeling,

To wake up wearing a disguise.

I lie in bed staring at the ceiling,

I don't know who I am,

There's little that I can

Fully recognize...

But I'm taking small steps,

'Cause I don't know where I'm going.

I'm taking small steps

And I don't know what to say.

Small steps,

Trying to pull myself together,

and maybe I'll discover

A clue along the way...

Just to make it through the day and not to get hurt,

Seems about the best that I can hope.

Like coffee stains splattered on your sweatshirt,

There sin't any patter.

Everything's uncertain.

It's difficult to cope...

But I'm taking small steps,

'Cause I don't know where I'm going.

I'm taking small steps,

And I've forgotten how to play.

Small steps,

Trying to pull myself together,

And maybe I'll discover,

A clue along the way...

And if someday my small steps bring me near you,

Please don't rush to tell me all you feel.

You don't have to speak for me to hear you.

If I softly sigh,

Look me in the eye

And let me know I'm real...

Then we'll take small steps,

'Cause we won't know where we're going.

We'll take small steops,

Adn we'll have too much to say.

Small steps,

Hand in hand we'll walk together,

And maybe we'll discover

A clue along the way.

Small steps,

'Cause I don't know where I'm goin'.

Small steps,

I just take it day to day.

Small steps,

Somehow get myself together,

Then maybe I'll discover

Who I am along the way...

一步一步慢慢來......
