Blog 10: My favorite novel

Among the novels I have seen, the Note Book of Robbing a Tomb is my favorite one. Though it is neither written by a famous writer nor be widely advertised, it stands out in the ocean of contemporary Chinese Internet novel. It is because it has so many unique advantages, Firstly, the description of people’s mentality and language is very appropriate and vivid. The novel is based on modern society, so it is easy for us to know whether what the people think and say is proper. When reading it, I can hardly find out what is improper or false. Conversely, I was totally attracted into the plot of the story and felt as if I was beside the stars experiencing the adventures together. I also admire the writer’s intelligent mind because the relationship of gains and losses between different characters in the stories are very complex. So the writer has to think out what the people may think in different situations. Secondly, the imagination of the writer is very excellent. The writer combined the history and imagination perfectly. He used some Chinese ancient mysteries, such as Nvwa, Chiyou and Huangdi’s stories and the real history of Country Lu in Zhou dynasty and Wang Canghai in Ming Dynasty which makes his imagination seem very rational and convictive. He also creates many different kinds of tombs with ingenious and grand designs with many kinds of zombies and many different ways to defeat them that you can never think out. Last but not least, the story is not superficial but has a very big hidden truth. The thought of the writer is so grand that I can hardly recognize it at first. The writer gives us clues in many details and lets us guess the truth gradually. Actually, after the first time of reading it, we will have a lot of questions so we have to think and infer through what we have known. This strongly increases the interest of the novel. That is some reasons why I love this novel very much. Actually, it has many other advantages that need you to appreciate. Only if you read it by yourself, can you feel that. Hope you can read it and have a good time.
