THE BOY WHO KICKED PIGS
Book ID/图书代码: 12100007B13195
English Summary/英文概要: Tom Baker’s The Boy Who Kicked Pigs is a subversive horror/fantasy story about an evil little boy who hates everyone around him. He embarks upon a revenge campaign, developing ever more imaginative nasty ends for each of his enemies. But one day he goes too far and when he crosses swords with a pack of cannibal rats, he meets a truly sickening end. The text is full of gore and action, but it is also intensely funny; the violence is strictly tongue-in-cheek and the jokes are designed for laughter out loud. Illustrated throughout with quirky, spiky line drawings, it will appeal to all those, from teenagers upwards, with a black sense of humour.
Chinese Summary/中文概要: 小男孩羅勃特與生所俱一種欲望,這幾近病態的欲望就是踢豬,他還懷有一個怪奇的心理,就是憎恨人類和這個世界。
羅勃特在家很愛踢姐姐奈瑞斯的豬寶寶崔佛(Trevor),與其說愛,不如說他實在忍不住,每當小腿肌肉發抖,頭痛發癢時就想來一下。
他把豬踢向電視射門得分,不過螢幕也爆掉了。(可惜他沒遇上足球教練,不然現在英國的神腳就不是貝克漢了)
除了踢豬,他的壞心也是他人生的樂趣。
他騙老盲人法蘭克在交通混亂之際通過路口,瞬時法蘭克成為40噸貨車下的亡魂。
他的成長就在以害人為樂趣和目的之中過去。
最後有一天讓人意想不到的,他在自己的祕密基地一顆老橡樹中,被自己最喜歡的動物「老鼠」們一口一口地慢慢吃掉……
