THE SAVAGES
Book ID/图书代码： 06580112B58033
English Summary/英文概要： Sasha Savage is in love with Jack Greenway - a handsome, charming, clever... vegetarian. Which would be acceptable if it weren’t for the fact that Sasha’s family are very much ’carnivorous’, with strong views to boot. Behind the respectable family façade all is not as it seems. Sasha’s father Titus rules his clan with an iron fist, and although her mother Angelica never has a hair out of place, her credit card bills are shocking and her culinary skills are getting more... ’adventurous’ by the day. As for Sasha’s demonic brother Ivan? Well, after accidentally decapitating a supermodel in their family bathroom his golden boy image is looking wobbly. To the outsider the Savages might look like the perfect family, but there is more to them than meets the eye. When the too-curious private detective Vernon English starts to dig for darker truths, this tight knit family starts to unravel - as does their sinister and predatory taste in human beings...
Chinese Summary/中文概要：
想像一下我的周圍生活著摩登食人族，而且地位甚高……
新世紀的肉食動物，和一般人完全不同的種族，他們最愛那些在他們面前為自己的血肉尷尬不已的人，因為那些肉鮮香美味……
Sasha帶了一個食素的朋友傑克回來：
Sasha轉過頭看著她的父母。
“你們可能已經知道了。傑克，他……他和我們有點不一樣。”
“哪方面？”Titus說。
“他吃素”
有那麼幾秒鐘，Titus 和Angelica Savage 像是凍住了，一動不動。Sasha還記得要呼吸，然後覺得她還是離開這裡比較好。
Sasha Savage愛上了一位英俊瀟灑，聰明睿智的素食主義者Jack Greenway。
他們會是天生一對，除了Sasha家“兇殘野蠻”的飲食習慣，他們的餐桌上只有肉食。
在公眾的眼中Savage一家是極其風光體面的家庭。Sasha的爸爸Titus以強權掌管著他的“部族”。媽媽Angelica每天打扮地整整齊齊，從來不會有一根頭髮出現在不應該的地方，她的信用卡帳戶滿得嚇人，她的烹飪技術變得越來越恐怖。Sasha的惡魔弟弟Ivan，原本是個全優男生，但他在自家浴室裡砍掉了一個超級名模的頭，他的形象也被抹黑了。這個“模範”Savage家庭背後隱藏的秘密可不一般。當好奇心極強的私人偵探Vernon English開始挖掘真相時，這個關係緊密的家庭開始慢慢瓦解，他們對人類兇殘獵殺的事實也開始浮出水面……(Celia)

Matt Whyman is a young-adult novelist and a long-standing advice columnist for many teenage magazines.
Born in 1969, he grew up in Berkhamsted, Hertfordshire, and has an MA in Creative Writing from the University of East Anglia (1992). Since then, he has taught creative writing projects across the UK, and for the British Council in Russia and the Middle East.
In 1995, Matt became the first male advice columnist for 19 magazine. He went on to hold a 10-year residency as AOL UK’s online agony uncle, and has created many national health awareness campaigns for BBC Radio 1 and Brook Advisory, among others. He also writes widely on teenage issues for magazines, websites and newspapers, and often appears on radio and television in this role.

Matt Whyman’s first novels were for adults: Man or Mouse (2000), and Columbia Road (2002). Both titles are romantic comedies that address the impact of technology on relationships. He has since written much darker works of fiction, often set outside the UK, as well as non-fiction titles for teenagers.

Inside the Cage (2007), is an Arctic-based thriller about teenage hackers and CIA ghost flights, along with its sequel, Goldstrike (2009).

He has also written several non-fiction advice books, including a set of ’Wise Guides’ on subjects such as smoking, drinking and family break up. XY: A Toolkit for Life (2002) and XY100: one hundred strategies for life (2004), are both popular and well-respected titles for teenage boys.
Matt’s latest book is his first non-fiction title for adults. Oink! My Life With Minipigs (2010) is a pet memoir with a twist in the tale.
Matt Whyman lives in West Sussex. He is married with four children.
