  世界上最後一頭雄性北非白犀牛──蘇丹的生命之歌


  這是一本關於北非白犀牛──蘇丹的繪本。

  作者戴芸在書中以多於一般繪本的文字敘寫蘇丹的一生。
  一開始的小犀牛連名字也沒有,後來他有了名字,還有了名牌。
  一開始的小犀牛有著媽媽的陪伴與教導,後來陪伴在蘇丹身邊的是「人」。
  一開始的小犀牛還沒長出犀角,後來的蘇丹也沒有了犀角。
  ……
  書中的文字沒有浮誇的煽動力,卻令讀過的人皆為之感動。

  繪者從書腰開始就以不一樣的畫面來「說」蘇丹的一生。
  此外,繪者更在書中用三者不同的色調來表現蘇丹的一生跨越了三個地域:蘇丹(童年)、捷克(青壯年)、肯亞(老年)。
  書中的畫面沒有駭人的血腥或濃烈的色彩,卻令看過的人皆為之觸動。

  作者和繪者的文圖交織,創作出屬於地球上最後一頭雄性北非白犀牛──蘇丹的一生。

  這個故事敘說了一個物種滅絕的事實,但我們希望讀過這個故事的每個人都記得蘇丹的名字,記得「人」在蘇丹的一生中所扮演的「善」與「惡」。人類的進化、科技的進步……這些都賦予人類越來越多的力量,但我們並沒有權利去奪走任何物種的一切。

  在《蜘蛛人》的電影中,班叔死前對著「初代蜘蛛人」說過的那句:「能力越大,責任越大!」當人類擁有更多能力的時候,不代表我們有權利奪走任何物種的生命和存在,而是更應該善待地球上的所有生命。正如本書的文字作者戴芸所寫:「蘇丹已逝,但是地球上仍有萬千物種,生生不息。一個故事種一顆種子。等到種子成蔭那一天,願地球上每一個生命的標誌都能夠與它所代表的生命同在。」願我們能和這萬千物種共享地球上所有的美好。

  ✽這本書的書腰有特殊的設計,讀者可以注意看看喔!
  年輕和年老的蘇丹分別出現在封面和書腰上,封面上蘇丹的犀角完整,書腰上的犀角截斷了,背景分別在捷克和非洲,一邊是白天,一邊是夜晚,天空的白點既是雪花,也代表星星。

本書特色

  ★沒有角的犀牛★

  書裡這樣寫著:「每一隻犀牛都是自己領地裡的國王,而犀角就是他們的王冠。」而這頂王冠卻奪走了犀牛的一切。君本無罪,懷璧其罪,人們相信犀牛角是靈丹妙藥,為了奪得犀牛角而牟取暴利,無止盡的盜獵犀牛角,導致北非的白犀牛至今已然滅絕。然而,儘管科學研究發現,犀牛角的組成成分就跟人類的指甲一樣,不具有特別的醫療價值,盜獵者依舊猖獗。無怪乎作者想問,如果犀牛沒有角呢?只是,沒有角的犀牛還是犀牛嗎?

  ★有名字的犀牛★
  小時候的蘇丹,是沒有名字的。媽媽告訴他:「犀牛不需要名字。亮出你的角來,別人就會知道你是誰!」後來,蘇丹被帶到動物園後,有了名字,耳朵上還被打洞掛上了標籤。蘇丹是世界上最後一頭北非白犀牛的名字,也像是一道禁錮這頭犀牛的枷鎖。他有了名字,被所有人注視著,失去了象徵王冠的犀牛角,也失去了原本身為一隻犀牛應該有的一生,從北非的草原被移至捷克的動物園,最後再移至肯亞的草原,卻形同軟禁一般的生活著。這個名字是人類給的,奪走他一生的也是人類,或許這才是我們最需要反思的部分。

  ★文圖相輔相成的力量★
  作者以溫柔的文字娓娓訴說蘇丹的一生,以多於一般繪本的文字敘寫蘇丹的擁有與失去,也敘寫了「人」在蘇丹的生命中扮演的角色帶給蘇丹的善與惡。而繪者從書腰開始,就描繪著蘇丹的一生,擁有犀角的年輕蘇丹和失去犀角的暮年蘇丹。此外,繪者更在書中用三者不同的色調來表現蘇丹的一生跨越了三個地域:蘇丹(童年)、捷克(青壯年)、肯亞(老年),可以說色彩是本書最佳的情感渲染。文圖的相輔相成構成了本書最溫柔而有力的力量,也吟唱著世界上最後一隻北非白犀牛的生命之歌。

Fun with a late blooming omega
Format: Kindle
I like this book. The story is fun, cute, and sexy. There's just a little drama, some excellent, steamy scenes, and a fairly good relationship building storyline. I especially like how all the main characters are a bit older than the usual 20 somethings I tend to see in this kind of book. Having said that, I wish there were more descriptions of the places, as well as the food in the fancy restaurant. I enjoyed the cocktails at the club, so I missed that kind of detail when Gray took Madison on a dinner date. I also wish there had been more interaction between Lucas and Madison, and Lucas and Rian. It felt a bit lopsided, with a focus on Rian, Madison, and Gray. I wish it had been proofread - there are a lot of typos, but nothing too distracting.

Madison Deserved Better
Format: Kindle
Madison was a beta...except she wasn't any longer. She was a late presenting Omega. And she was struggling. She was tall and thin, not tiny and curvy. She was opinionated. She was everything an Omega was not. After suffering through her first heat, her friends took her to Ardor, a club where Omegas came to safely find Alphas. She's not expecting much but then she connects with a sexy beta. And when she meets his Alphas, they set her body on fire. Maybe, she's found her no-strings-attached heat pack. Maybe, she's found something more. I could not connect with the characters in this book, so their story never resonated with me. And there was no love story; there was sex. Grey made it clear from the beginning that he had a true love and it was his beta boy, Rian. He went so far as to reassure Rian “Say the word, I’ll never touch her again. Lucas can put the babies in her. I only need you, beta boy”. So, Madison was there for babies, no emotions needed. Nice. No, thank you. I want the Omega to be the center of their world, not an incubator. Lucas and Rian weren't any better. After her heat, they let her leave. Not one of them made her feel valued. No one gave her a reason to stay or even offered a cuddle. And the sex didn't even come across as mind-blowing. Madison deserved better.

Pretty Darn Good
Format: Kindle
So I’ve been on a omega kick and this definitely hit the spot. Madison was frustrating at times with how she acted towards Lucas, Gray, and Rian. It was like she said towards the end, she didn’t believe she deserved nice things. It would have been nice to hear from her best friends again. They kind of were there in the beginning and the gone except for mention of text messages received from them. I feel like her friends would have been great help in encouraging Madison to go with the pack and never give Brent another chance because he was toxic. I loved Rian. His personality was awesome. His humor. His ability to make Madison comfortable whenever she was feeling overwhelmed. And the fact he fell for her and she fell for him first. They are cute together. I do feel like Lucas was the odd man out though. Like Lucas didn’t develop as much of a relationship with Madison. I would have really liked to see more development in the relationship between them. It was also the same with him and Rian. There is really no relationship displayed. Most of the relationship being displayed is between Rian and Gray. Nevertheless, I loved reading about the dynamic that came to fruition during the entirety of this story. Madison finally got her happiness. And Brent finally got punched in the face. Everyone got exactly what they deserve.

Pack's Promise was okay but not great
Format: Kindle
Pack's Promise was okay but not great. I won't recommend it to anyone that I know. PRO: * Very likable characters * Lots of steamy scenes that are written very well * The spelling and grammar are good * The punctuation is good with the exception of using hyphens instead of commas. Lots of hyphens. Lots and lots of hyphens. CON: * Almost no interactions with any characters outside of Madison and the pack * Nearly no plot. They meet, get together for a heat, agree to make it permanent, done * Quite a few typos such as extraneous words, missing words and words out of order THINGS TO KNOW: * More steamy scenes than storytelling * A lot of MM & MMM, some MFMM during heat
