<p>“饥饿”的主题太明显了，作者被它箍紧了走不出去，（尤其是对话）很明显在为“题目”服务，没有什么生活气息，不仅显得“窄”，还显得“假”，让人觉得这是一篇造出来的小说。</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; 好奇怪，我读这篇小说的时候，不知不觉总换成用方言在读。</p>

起初感觉有些像许三观卖血记，总体还是太薄，结尾草率.

第一次写小说，本来想写中篇的，但没有这样的功底。谢谢指正，我写好之后也看出很多毛病。不过想问一下，用方言写不好么？或者我用的语言太杂乱？

家童

小说主题有些大，内容涉及的也多，短片小说似乎承载不了，该精缩一下。总体感觉太平淡，没有让人动容的细节，语言倒是挺平实，没感到太强的地方感。

那些对话，下引号前面至少你得给我个把句号吧？
