Pizza《那夜凌晨，我坐上了旺角開往大埔的紅Van（下集）》

Pizza：《那夜凌晨，我坐上了旺角開往大埔的紅Van（下集）》（香港：有種文化，2013年1月）。總409頁。HK$88。

依然是《那夜凌晨》，既然讀了上集，當然要追埋下集，有頭有尾。下集頁數多了，故事開始複雜，不時要翻前回顧，讀的時間相對長了，大約需要四、五天左右吧。

相對上集，下集的質素明顯遜色。首先談故事，尾段相對上集，下集的質素明顯遜色。首先談故事，尾段「The Fact」表述方式稍嫌單調，結局篇還有未解之謎，美中不足。更大敗筆是編校馬虎，打錯字、打別字、打漏字，還有語病，均隨處可見。

因為這本書，翻聽了David Bowie的「Space Oddity」，半夜邊讀邊聽，感覺尤其詭異，有興趣可以試試 XD，歌詞如下：

David Bowie － Space Oddity

Ground control to major Tom
Ground control to major Tom
Take your protein pills and put your helmet on
(Ten) Ground control (Nine) to major Tom (Eight)
(Seven, six) Commencing countdown (Five), engines on (Four)
(Three, two) Check ignition (One) and may Gods (Blastoff) love be with you.

This is ground control to major Tom, you've really made the grade
And the papers want to know whose shirts you wear
Now it's time to leave the capsule if you dare.

This is major Tom to ground control, I'm stepping through the door
And I'm floating in a most peculiar way
And the stars look very different today
For here am I sitting in a tin can far from the world
Planet Earth is blue and there's nothing I can do.

Though I'm past one hundred thousand miles,
I'm feeling very still
And I think my spaceship knows which way to go
Tell my wife I love her very much, she knows
Ground control to major Tom, your circuits dead,
There's something wrong
Can you hear me, major Tom?
Can you hear me, major Tom?
Can you hear me, major Tom?
Can you...
Here am I floatin' 'round my tin can far above the world
Planet Earth is blue and there's nothing I can do.

P.S.：「Space Oddity」雖詭異，但遠比不上麥潔文的《夜夜痴纏》，一首好有「味道」，好多「傳聞」的舊歌（據說《怪談》將之列為「禁歌」XD）。不轉貼了，有興趣者自理吧。
