《House of Cards》读后感(一)：个人感观
读的英文版。
前半段Urquhart在编网，故事推进太慢，读得了无生气；后半段Urquhart参加竞选要收网了，情节变得紧凑，也更加吸引人。
torin倒数第二个场景与Landless在屋内的针锋相对简直碉堡，论主人公嘴遁能力对于整个情节展开的重要性！
以上仅为个人感受:)
《House of Cards》读后感(二)：酷毙了。
好书读得就是快，两天的时间，跟着丝丝入扣的侦探剧一样的情节，终于在今晚落下帷幕。和美剧第二季Francis终于入主白宫不同，英版是以离梦想只差最后一步却彻底被抛弃跳楼身亡的Francis结束，而他的走狗Roger 却是亲自被他干掉的。女记者也不再是他的床上情人和他的牺牲品，而变成了他的掘墓人。看过美剧，再看英版，似乎英版更精彩。两个不同的主线螺旋上升，一个是Francis入住白厅，另外一个是女记Mattie穷追猛打，最终两条主线交汇在一起，太精彩了。过瘾！
《House of Cards》读后感(三)：酣畅淋漓
合上书以后我认真的想了想，似乎已经很多年没有这种想一口气读完整本小说的欲望，但这本《House Of Cards》足以让我熬到深夜读完最后30%的内容。这本书前松后紧的故事情节依稀让人想起《基督山伯爵》前半段的煎熬和后半段的酣畅淋漓。相较而言，《House Of Cards》处处存在的大不列颠式幽默足以掩盖前半段有一点平淡的情节。从此在严歌苓的《金陵十三钗》之后，读过原著且观看过影视剧而依然保持好评的作品清单中又增加了一部，虽然只看了美剧版本的前两集，但第一集中Kevin Spacy掐死一条被车祸撞伤的狗时那种神情总能让我想起书中Francis Urquhart最后凝视沙发上昏睡的Roger O'Neil 时的那种漠视和残忍。据说为了这部美剧Michael Dobbs先生改写了原著的结局，这一定程度上避免了各种书评里的剧透，也没有影响到Mattie Storin因爱恋而丧失一些理性的主线。最后，这本书一定不要错过Michael Dobbs先生的后记，你根本不知道驱使人写下一本书的动力究竟来自何处
《House of Cards》读后感(四)：House of Cards -- 从电视剧看到小说
我个人的观看顺序是美版电视剧->英版电视剧->英版小说。所以在写关于小说的书评时顺便会提及前两者。
这部小说给我印象比较深得是两点。一是人物塑造时非常重视这样的手法：描述人物以往的家庭经历对其心理的影响，在人物做着挣扎决策的时候就会追忆到以往的种种，包括Francis在除掉Roger前想到他父亲、在战死的兄弟及打猎的经历，Mattie面对上司对其报道的打压和与Johnnie恋情的破裂经常回忆起幼时祖父母带她出海的经历、为了追求事业而被抛弃的青梅竹马前男友。相比电视剧，小说中的这种描述代入感很强，而且电视剧都是紧凑的向前发展剧情，甚少有回忆，这在人物做关键决策的描述上少了很多支撑。二是对景物的描述。不管是伦敦的冬天，Downing Street的景色，总能在剧情中提供丰富的context。
从剧情上来看，小说是上进女记者VS上进政治家的故事，最后以女记者胜出的剧情让哥些许蛋疼，相比而言，英剧、美剧都选择了第一季结束就干掉女记者的剧情更有点大快人心的感觉。不过英剧可能由于时间太久的关系，里面有些表演不太让人接受，比如Stamper不管和谁说话时总是一脸大内总管似的阴阳怪气。英剧的亮点是女主都比较正，尤其是第二季做Francis助理的妹子。美剧相对而言感觉剧情有点乱，放了很多时间在Francis老婆身上，不过毕竟美剧的拍摄风格还是更符合现代大众的口味的。
总而言之，可以一看。
《House of Cards》读后感(五)：随感
原著好精彩，美版的改编也非常精彩！
就House of Cards这本书本身来说，我几乎是看到90%的地方才把小说中的大部分人物和美版电视剧的大部分人物一一对应，Roger对应的大光头帅哥Peter，都是瘾君子，只不过前者在FU的棋局中斗争了很长时间直至最后死去，而Peter只在美版第一季中就化灰了；
改变较多的是剧中的女主角，英版中女记者Mattie让我形容，就真是strong and beautiful with integrity and faith，她说“I needed you, Johnnie. I needed a man, not a life long commitment, I needed to feel like a woman again, it had been so long...”，无惧危险直至最后挖出真相（这要是在中国，估计早就被打上slut的标签了)；相比来看美版中的Zoe，用年轻诱人的身体试图换取成功，蠢顿地高估自己的美色与力量，时不时还睡一睡备胎以解忧，难怪编剧安排她早死引来一片欢呼雀跃；不过美版剧本的改编让我觉得最成功的地方就是塑造了FU的妻子Clare，这个角色才是跟Mattie最贴近的，坚强勇敢、冷静睿智；按照英版最后Mattie将FU拉下台的桥段，美版中反正Zoe已经死了，第三季难道要让Clare拉老公下马？还是那个新出现的女记者拉总统下马？
再有一点有意思的，就是英版和美版中的Business大亨，英版是传媒业老大，美版是能源业老大，不得不佩服改编者对时代发展的把握，新闻传媒在政治斗争与生活中，从来就是不可或缺的一部分；而新媒体的出现和互联网时代的链接，确实大大改变了传媒在政治中的角色与地位；其双刃剑的作用愈发明显，政治人物要想上位，尤其在民主政治体质下的西方国家，那少不了媒体的帮助；但随着更多有节操传媒人的出现，信息的流动与透明也将政治人物无限放大在公众眼底，只能更加小心翼翼；我不知道美版作者将传媒业改成能源业的意图到底如何，是因为新媒体实在太敏感，剧情发展不好把握呢还是就是为了迎合现实，映射一下美帝的石油大亨嘞？不得而知，但颇有意思
单纯就写作手法或语言来说，Michael Dobbs对FU杀Roger的一段精彩的心理描写，至少在我看来是远超美版FU杀Peter时的独白（美版有点主角过于高高在上的感觉了），“At that moment it hit him. The conviction which had filled his veins turned to burning acid, the certainty which had guided his hand suddenly deserted him, and the composure in which he took so much pride vanished. His will had become a battleground. The morality and restraint which the system had tried to beat into him from birth screamed at him to stop, to change his mind, even now to turn back, while his gusts told him that morality was weakness. What mattered was reality”
单纯就本书来说，政治类的小说这算是第一本，以前学的那些国际关系看来有点naive，当然小说为了可读性不可避免地进行了夸张，但政治斗争中的各种黑暗手段的运用也只能不足为奇了。小说中FU为了上马，“婚外情”、“同性恋”、“贪恋金钱”、“想要上位”、“商业成功”、“瘾君子”等都是他一一剔除敌人的关键词，当然到了最后“杀人”也就必不可少了……不知道为什么，看书过程中总有一种“若要人不知除非己莫为”的感觉，政治真的玩的好的人，真不知内心得强大到何种程度
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
每次看英文原版小说，都是看到最后会有渐入佳境的感觉，一方面是剧情的起伏引出的高潮，另一方面也是进入了英文的阅读状态，就是那种无论一段中出现了多少个生词，基本都能准确地获知作者想要表达的东西；所以也谢谢自己对英文小说阅读的坚持，我知道中文版看起来会快很多，也顺畅很多，每次读英文时会止不住想放弃，但是还好基本坚持了下来，也才略微有了“无限风光在险峰”的感觉
《House of Cards》读后感(六)：Classic Style
语言非常好，恨不得每一页都摘抄。读英国人写的书，才能真正体会“幽默”二字的含义，那不动声色的体面的俏皮。
读的时候又忍不住暗暗感慨西方人的娜依五。政客也如此性情，放到大天朝，分分钟被灭。
在手机的Kindle上读的，因此没办法标记页码，在此整理一下个人觉得精彩的章节，有兴趣的童鞋可以浅尝下此书的风格。

The demands of the accountants for instant financial gratification had required ruthless pruning, and a large number of senior staff had found themselves being 'rationalised' - as the accountants put it - and replaced by less experienced but equally less expensive substitutes.

《House of Cards》读后感(七)：Justice vs Evil, who wins ——A comparison between two different versions of ending of House Of Cards
House of Cards is a marvelous political thriller written by British writer Michael Dobbs. The antihero of House of Cards is Francis Urquhart, a fictional Chief Whip of the Conservative Party, The plot follows his amoral and manipulative scheme to become leader of the governing party and, thus, Prime Minister of the United Kingdom.
The fiction was soon adapted into several TV series and in recent years, it has been translated into different languages, including Chinese. If we take a look at the latest edition of House of Cards, it isn’t hard to find out that the author have made some changes based on his first edition, which include the ending of the whole story. In the first edition, Francis, the antihero who had conducted numerous cruel and amoral crimes during his process of becoming Prime Minister, when facing the accusation from a young journalist who knew everything about his insidious scheme, flinched from his lust of power and committed suicide for fear of the truth being exposed. While in Chinese and some other translated edition, the author portrayed a Francis who is even crueler and more indulgent in his wild ambition of becoming the Prime Minister. That version of story ends with he pushing the young journalist down from the parliament building and finally becoming the Prime Minister.
o it is understandable for us to wonder why author made such a change and which one is better. From my perspective I think both made sense. Francis was desperate to reach the throne, while just like building a house of cards, the closer you are approaching to the success, the harder for you to keep a tensed nerve. When it comes to killing someone, the nature of humanity, the morality will scream inside your heart, and no matter how strong your desire is to reach your purpose or how cold blood you are, the thought of shrinking back will emerge in your mind. Francis practices all kinds of approaches to get rid of his political rivals, but there was a moment of hesitation (Or weakness, as Francis called it himself) when he was about to drug his scapegoat Roger O’ Neal. He could’ t resist his hand from shaking although he would’ t face the victim when he died, which made it understandable that in the author’ s original conception Francis dared not to kill the young journalist to hide the truth.
However, the author chose to change the final fates of his characters after the first publication of the novel. In the new version, when Francis finally learned that Mattie, the young journalist knew every plots of his scheme, he killed her for forever peace. We see a Francis who is crueler, greedier, who would wipe everyone that blocked his way from reaching the throne out. He embodies every viciousness we could find on a cold blood politician. Compared with the first edition, the author deliberately added some exaggeration to magnify the cheats and injustice which had been existed in British political system for so long. He portrayed this vicious politician to demonstrate that before the tempt of power, man can give up everything including morality, justice even humanity. In the rivalry of seeking power, The nobility and conscience is just a fake mask worn by everyone, behind which plots and intrigues are schemed in everybody’ s mind.
I can’ t tell which ending is better. Personally I prefer the original one, as we always hope a story can has a happy ending where justice will defeat evil. Certainly we won’ t support someone who is so vicious like Francis to be our Leader, But when considering the fact that Michael Dobbs, the author of House Of Cards, had a political career before becoming a writer, we can’ t help believing that perhaps the opposite is always the truth, cheating and plotting is common in politics where no one survives.
About 400 years ago, the great Renaissance writer William Shakespeare portrayed a classical figure who was also bent on seizing power. The failure of Macbeth remind us that the lure of power can distort a integral heart into being bad. However after 400 years, Macbeth still exist in our society, lusting for power, and daring to take any approach to get it.
《House of Cards》读后感(八)：读书/分享 纸牌屋
#55-56的标注 | Nothing lasts, not forever. Not laughter, not lust, not even life itself. Not forever. Which is why we make the most of what we have. #57-60的标注 | Why waste a life in search of an epitaph？ “Fondly Remembered.” Who other than a half-wit has that chiseled above his head？ It is nothing but sentimental incontinence. Let’s face facts, life is a zero-sum game and politics is how we decide who wins, who loses. And whether we like it or not, we are all players. #60-63的标注 | “Respected By All Who Knew Him.” Another monumental whimper. Not for my gravestone. It’s not respect but fear that motivates a man; that’s how empires are built and revolutions begin. It is the secret of great men. When a man is afraid you will crush him, utterly destroy him, his respect will always follow. Base fear is intoxicating, overwhelming, liberating. Always stronger than respect. Always. #65-67的标注 | It seemed scarcely a moment since she had made it back home, stumbling up the last step in exhaustion, yet already the morning sun was sticking thumbs in her eyes as it crept around the curtain and began to nestle on her pillow. She turned over irritably. Her head was thick, her feet sore, and the bed beside her empty. #79-80的标注 | But it was difficult to be philosophical when your feet were freezing. And when you didn’t have any clean laundry. #93-94的标注 | Nearer and nearer it flew, eager, passionate, erratic, ambitious, heedless of everything other than the power it was being drawn to, power beyond dreams, beyond resistance. It had no choice. #98-100的标注 | The original Marquis of Granby had been a popular military figure more than two hundred years earlier and had more pubs named after him than any other figure in the land, but the marquis had succumbed to politics, lost his way, and died in debt and distress. #114-116的标注 | It’s a very good idea for a politician to have vision. Yes, the Vision Thing, just the ticket. Really useful, don’t you think？ #137-138的标注 | He was tired, uncomfortable, penned in by the posse of women who pursued him with spaniel-like persistence. #142-142的标注 | The walls echoed with history and with an authority that was now his. #143-163的标注 | Yet Urquhart’s power didn’t stem directly from his public office. The role of Chief Whip didn’t carry full Cabinet rank. Urquhart had no great Department of State or massive civil service machine to command; his was a faceless task, toiling ceaselessly behind the scenes, making no public speeches and giving no television interviews. A man of the shadows. And also a man of discipline. He was the Enforcer, the one whose job it was to put a bit of stick about. That meant he was not simply respected but also a little feared. He was the minister with the most acute political antennae in government. In order to deliver the vote, day after day, night after night, he needed to know where his Members of Parliament were likely to be found, which meant he needed to know their secrets—with whom they were conspiring, with whom they might be sleeping, whether they would be sober enough to vote, whether they had their hands in someone else’s pocket or on someone else’s wife. All these secrets with their sharp little edges were gathered together and kept in a black book, locked inside a safe, and not even the Prime Minister had access to the keys. In Westminster, such information is power. Many in Urquhart’s Parliamentary Party owed their continuing position to the ability of the Whips’ Office to sort out and occasionally cover up their personal problems. Backbenchers intent on rebellion or frontbenchers distracted by ambition found themselves changing their minds when reminded of some earlier indiscretion that had been forgiven by the Party, but never forgotten. It was astonishing how pliable politicians became when confronted by the possibility of a collision between their public and private lives. Why, even that dyspeptic Staffordshire soul, the Transport Secretary, a man who had planned to make a conference speech way outside his remit and far too close to the Prime Minister’s home turf, had come to his senses. All it had taken was a phone call to his mistress’s mews house rather than the marital home. “Francis, how the fuck did you find me here？” “Oh, Keith, have I made some terrible mistake？ I’m so sorry, I wanted to have a quick chat with you about your little speech, but it seems I looked for your number in the wrong set of accounts.” “What the bloody hell do you mean？” “Oh, don’t you know？ We keep two sets of books. One is the official tally, the other…Well, don’t worry, we keep our little black book under very careful control. It won’t happen again.” A pause before: “Will it？” The Transport Secretary had sighed, a sound full of melancholy and guilt. “No, Francis, it bloody well won’t.” Another sinner came to rapid repentance. #184-185的标注 | Urquhart even managed a smile for Mrs. Bailey; it was like a mayfly, so brief it almost died before it could be seen but enough to repair relations. #205-207的标注 | The demands of the accountants for instant financial gratification had required ruthless pruning, and a large number of senior personnel had found themselves being “rationalized” and replaced by less experienced and considerably less expensive substitutes. #210-214的标注 | He was a small man who had arrived at the paper with the air of a new Napoleon but who had lost weight until he required braces to haul up his trousers and a tide of coffee to keep open his eyes. The once smooth and dapper appearance had begun to be washed away by countless beads of perspiration that collected on his brow and made his heavy rimmed glasses slip down his nose. Fingers that had once drummed in thought now snapped in impatience. The carefully manufactured attempt at outward authority had been eaten away by the insecurity within, and he was no longer certain he could rise to the occasion, any occasion. He’d even stopped screwing his secretary. #216-219的标注 | At twenty-eight she was the youngest recruit to the paper’s political staff, replacing one of the senior correspondents who had fallen foul of the accountants for his habit of conducting interviews over extended lunches at the Savoy. Yet despite her relative youth and recent arrival, Mattie had a confidence about her judgment that inadequate men mistook for stubbornness. #230-230的标注 | All editors live on the edge; the secret is not to show it. Preston showed it. #243-245的标注 | Landless had been as good as his word. He had delivered his growing army of newspapers into the Government camp, and all he expected in return was for the Government to deliver the proper election result. #338-339的标注 | The country’s most senior newsreader opened a large envelope in front of him, as reverently as if the A4 manila contained his own death certificate.
