哪些入门级别的英文原版书简单又好看？
优质回答：
这个书单是推荐给那些想要读英文原版书又不知从哪一本开始读起的人。
我这一年，看了许多英文原版书籍，也写了很多英文书评。
这份书单是我读的书里面选出来了5本入门的英文原版书籍，后三本的书籍推荐是英文的书评，推荐给喜欢学习英文的你。
1. 《Where Rainbow Ends》Cecelia Ahern
豆瓣评分：7.9/10
推荐理由
“愿有人和你一起数晨昏，陪你走到青丝剥离成白发，春雷响彻寒冬”
用了不到5天的闲暇时间看完的近500页这部跨越45年的故事。
非常推荐，是那种看了就很难停下来的书。语言通俗易懂，平淡却真实和感动。
这是一本关于友情，梦想，爱情和亲情的书。没有什么狗血的剧情但作者Cecelia却把主人公的个性和心理的变化描绘的淋漓尽致，没有什么鸡汤，也没有让你勇敢的去追求真爱一类的豪言壮语。
本来，人这一生就是不断错过的过程。男女主人公的每一次对自己的选择，他们也许会后悔但他们也都为自己的每一个选择负责。从未离开的陪伴很温暖，他们彼此愿意把最美好的东西“时间”奉献给彼此，即使各自有自己的家庭，即使发生过矛盾，但那份陪伴根深蒂固。
2. 《The Gift》Cecelia Ahern
豆瓣评分：7.5/10
推荐理由
愿我们都能找到真正的快乐，愿我们都不负时光。
这本书个人非常推荐，如果只能推荐一本英文原版书，我会推荐这本书。它背后存在的意义让我明白了什么叫做不负时光，什么叫做珍惜和做自己想做的事。
下面是我读完之后写的书评，分享给你们：
我，是一个工作狂，我有妻子和两个孩子。我很爱她们，但我好像更爱我的工作。高大上的办公室，每天加班到深夜，我却乐此不疲。因为我觉得我这样是成功。其实我已经在生活的轨道上越走越偏，我迷失了自己，我不知道我对工作的执念是为了什么。我有很大的成就感可是我并不是快乐。
不管我从前和现在获得了多少的荣誉和赞扬，那种迫切的想要获得更大的荣誉和赞扬的思想总之挥之不去。所以，我变得越来越暴躁，我对我身边的人很凶，我故意的说出很多伤人的话，我以为我会更快乐一些。可惜我没有，我只能继续加班工作像机器不能停下来。
而这一切，是在我遇到公司楼下的一个流浪汉之后，改变了。觉得流浪汉很可怜，给他买了杯咖啡，顺便给了他一份公司的工作。那时的我我觉得简直太酷了。虽然我没有想到因为他，我的生活从一片黑白的世界，渐渐走向了多彩和温暖。其实我仔细想了想，也许他是上天派给我的天使。
他虽然是个流浪汉，但他却给了我很多很多的礼物，那些我活了大半生才惊觉到身边的财富。我以为我的心是石头做的，没想到只是坚硬的冰罢了虽然外表坚硬无比，但内心却非常柔软脆弱我开始意识到在我冰冷的外表下，那份被自己压抑了很久的温暖的爱。每次老婆换了件漂亮的衣服，她总会问我，你觉得这件衣服好看么？我从来没有正眼看过一次，我都是敷衍的点点头。这次她又问我，我仔细的看了面前的这个女人，她的头发，她的笑容，她的一切都是那么的美。我开始陷入了大学时的回忆，最重要的是这样一个曾经比我优秀，比我成熟的女人竟然嫁给了我一直无私的为了我们的家和孩子无私的奉献。我那一瞬间竟然屏住了呼吸，发现我好爱好爱她，她是那么的迷人而我过去是那么的混蛋。
还有，我爸爸70大寿。我把全家人的宴会地点定在了高大上的豪华餐厅我花钱一向很大方，对于家人我更是毫不吝啬，当我工作结束去到宴会现场的时候，我发现我错了，原来从头到尾都错了。这里的音乐是那么的格格不入。这个好似生意人的宴会，没有椅子，因为生意人要社交。我看到我年迈的爸爸妈妈，还有很多家人，他们脸上的表情都写满了尴尬那一瞬间，我深深地自责，我和主办方说，给他们搬椅子，我付给你们更多的钱把音乐换成老年人爱听的音乐，不要这么吵我走去爸爸的身边轻轻地说了声对不起，爸爸对着我笑说：孩子，你看上去有些疲惫，很累么？我马上要升职了，我会赚更多的钱了。爸爸脸上没有喜悦 说 是不是代表你要工作的时间更长了？我没有说话。
有一天领导把我叫到他的办公室说，在我和我的对手(虽然我觉得他只是个笨蛋）的角逐中 我赢得了一切，有了更大的办公室，我有了更有权利的职位。圣诞节前夜我提前去了公司 享受一下这份胜利的喜悦我走进了这个我期盼已久的偌大办公室，看着窗外万家灯火，我独自坐在转椅上，脑海里却浮现了流浪汉对我说过的一句Walt Disney 说的话” A man should never neglect his family for business”。曾经的过往仿佛一部电影，在我的脑海里一幕幕的浮现，我忽然觉得 在这个办公室很孤独，我想回家。如果你准备看这本书，下面的内容请不要继续看，会结局剧透。结尾让我感到很难过，直到现在我在写这篇书评的时候，我还是止不住眼里的泪水。略微的残忍，尤其是他在懂得了一切，从他诺大的办公室非常期盼的回家陪伴家人的那段描写和他在出车祸前的心理活动。
也许生活的美好正是在于我们对未来一无所知，对死亡毫无察觉。也在于当我们懂得了生命中最重要的是什么之后能够还有机会给予和陪伴，即使只有一小会儿。就像他在车祸之后，和他的家人通话的那段时间可能是他在这一生中最快乐的时光一样。我想，所有人都想多赚钱，当然也想陪伴家人。但很可惜，我们的一生，时间都是有限的。The Gift会让你在看完之后让你陷入沉思，思考一下，什么能给你那份心底的快乐。真正的快乐，不是多么轰轰烈烈，多半是简简单单。比如一个陪伴家人的旅行，一次参加孩子的汇演，一顿烹饪美味的佳肴，这些平淡的回忆却充满了暖暖的爱。可惜，更多的人选择把有限的时间分给工作，而非家庭。
这本书最美的地方就在于，它教会了你要珍惜时间，要感触生活里的美好，要握住感情里的纯真。想一想，你心底的快乐到底来自哪里不要让自己遗憾。

我的英文书评附上，给大家参考：
“Imagination is more important than knowledge. For while knowledge defines all we currently know and understand， imagination points to all we might yet discover and create.”
– Albert Einstein
Journalist & Novelist Jojo Moyes
Jojo， who grew up in London， is a quite famous novelist. She has won the Romantic Novelist’s Award twice and Me before You has gone on to sell over 8 million copies worldride. The film adaptation of Me Before You starring Sam Claflin (The Hunger Games) and Emilia Clarke (Game of Thrones) was released in June 2016 and was a huge box-office success. The screenplay was written by Jojo.
Recommend to
I highly recommend this book to advanced English learners. No difficult words， simple secentence structure， easy to understand. If you are interested in learning English or improving your reading skills， you definitely can check this out. BUT if you have never read Jojo Moyes’ books before， DO NOT read this book first beacuse this book is not her best book and I would love to recommend her another book which I mentioned before Me Before You to be her frist book valuable to read.
About this book
This book contains 11 short stories about love.
PARIS FOR ONE was honestly my favourite of the collection. This story was the longest among the collection. Nell has never been to Paris. In fact， she had barely been beyond her own postcode. I adore the Paris setting very much. As we all know， Paris is the global center for art， fashion， gastronomy and culture. She planned to go to Paris with her boyfriend on a romantic weekend. However Nell’s boyfriend failed to show up. Nell had to experience everything of Paris on her own. She had to find herself alon in a strange romantic city even though she was afraid. Her selfish boyfriend didn’t care her feelings at all. This adventure will change her totally and you will enjoy this delightful story while reading. Trust me 🙂
The other 10 stories are really short stories， I don’t think these could be treated as Novel. They all talk about love and love， telingl us about marriage， secret love， working mother and neglected wife etc. All the stories make you feel you are the one who plays the role and Jojo’s book could bring youself think further more about relationship， about future or current marriage. From novel， you could hardly get any knowledgable information BUT novels could borden our imagination which will open our minds to new possibilities and new ideas helping us experience our world through others’ lives and stories.
4. 《THE UNSPEAKABLE LOSS: How Do You Live After a Child Dies？》Nisha Zenoff Ph.D.
Goodreads评分：4.5/5
书籍简介：
In The Unspeakable Loss， Nisha Zenoff offers support， guidance and wisdom from others who have experienced the death of a child， as well as her personal story after the death of her beloved 17-year-old son， Victor， and her insight as a grief counselor and psychotherapist.
推荐理由
我的英文书评附上，给大家参考：
“Although the world is full of suffering， it is also full of the overcoming of it.” —— Helen Keller
Nisha Zenoff Ph.D. is a California licensed marriage and family counselor， psychotherapist， grief counselor， movement therapist and process-oriented psychologist who began her career more than 35 years ago.
This book is dedicated to bereaved parents and families and to those who support them with love. The author’s seventeen-years-old son， Victor， died in a hiking accident. As what the name of the book said， How do you live after a child dies？ Will you be afraid if you mention his/her name in front of others？ OR Will time heal you in the future？ Think about after 20 years of their death， what will you feel？
When we speak the names of our loved ones， we keep them alive in memory and celebrate their lives even though they died. The author said sometimes she grieved and she missed Victor every day. But meantime， we can finally discovered and felt that even with a broken heart， we still can learn to love and embrace life again. I think life likes a journey， no matter how sharp glasses are， over the years， they will become smooth， like the ages， the same with pain.
One of the powerful things she provides to people who lost their children is the courage and wisdom: keeping your children with you through your memories and keeping in mind the beautiful words they told you before. Try to accept it as part of your healing process. Honestly， it is really difficult but choose to be brave. In other words， you can only accept and choose forgiveness because you love your children and they love you as well.
When I saw the cover of this book， I grabbed it straight away becuase I am curious how to do？ how do people live after a child dies？ I didn’t have an answer at all. Surviving the loss of a child is unthinkable to all loving parents. In the book the author answered many typical questions. THE UNSPEAKABLE LOSS is a bacon of hope. Her inspirational words like a warm hug， showing the spirit of love to readers.

Meet At Ark At Eight， 德国作家Ulrich Hub 在2006 年出版，出版分别于德国，法国，荷兰获得文学作品奖项，并被翻译为20多种译本发行世界。2012 年英文译本出版。一部以这本书为原型的动画片将于2022年上映。
作者Ulrich Hub，德国作家，演员，导演和编剧。编导多部儿童戏剧作品，Meet At Ark At Eight 是他的第一部儿童章节小说。
在一个冰天雪地的的地方，有三只相爱相杀的企鹅，除了吃鱼就是打打闹闹。一只白鸽带来了大洪水将要席卷世界的消息，也给其中两只企鹅带来了登上诺亚方舟的邀请函。他们必须在8点前赶到船上。两只获得邀请函的企鹅不想留下他们的朋友，决定把最小的企鹅藏在行李箱里，偷运上船。企鹅能赶上船么，能成功的把朋友带上去么？警觉的鸽子注意到了他们的行李箱了！
我们耳熟能详的诺亚方舟的寓言被改编成一个全新的故事，语言诙谐幽默，人物形象丰富立体。三只企鹅的友情让人忍俊不禁，为了掩人耳目，状况百出。鸽子要安排上船的动物，维持秩序，唠唠叨叨，抱怨蚂蚁找不到伴侣，羚羊不肯睡在狮子旁边，啄木鸟要把船凿穿了。结局也非常出人意表。
这本书也让小朋友对信仰和神有一个初步的思考。
适合8+的小朋友和初学者阅读，全书只有62页。不一定适合有信仰的朋友，无意冒犯。
