On October 1, God is in His heaven, the stock market stands at 10,140, most of the planes are on time, and Clayton Riddell, an artist from Maine, is almost bouncing up Boylston Street in Boston. He's just landed a comic book deal that might finally enable him to support his family by making art instead of teaching it. He's already picked up a small (but expensive!) gift for his long-suffering wife, and he knows just what he'll get for his boy Johnny. Why not a little treat for himself? Clay's feeling good about the future.
That changes in a hurry. The cause of the devastation is a phenomenon that will come to be known as The Pulse, and the delivery method is a cell phone. Everyone's cell phone. Clay and the few desperate survivors who join him suddenly find themselves in the pitch-black night of civilization's darkest age, surrounded by chaos, carnage, and a human horde that has been reduced to its basest nature...and then begins to evolve.
There's really no escaping this nightmare. But for Clay, an arrow points home to Maine, and as he and his fellow refugees make their harrowing journey north they begin to see crude signs confirming their direction: KASHWAK=NO-FO. A promise, perhaps. Or a threat...
There are one hundred and ninety-three million cell phones in the United States alone. Who doesn't have one? Stephen King's utterly gripping, gory, and fascinating novel doesn't just ask the question "Can you hear me now?" It answers it with a vengeance.
Stephen King lives in Maine with his wife,the novelist Tabitha King.He does not own a cell phone.
Although I've admired S.K. for his reputation and read his short reviews of movies and books a lot, it's been the first time to read him. There were mixed feelings while reading the book: just left Boston, lots of misses, and the marathon explosion happene...
评分 评分一口气看完了steven king的新恐怖小说《手机》,此书与king先生的其他恐怖小说格局有些不同。大家都知道,king先生的小说一个特点是前面的伏笔特别长,甚至有时候小说看了过半,恐怖的事情却还没有出现,比如国内引进的《宠物公墓》、《尸骨袋》等等,大约都是这个样子。我读过...
评分上海译文出版社的版本翻译一般~~~ 是急着出版吗? 翻译得好不好其实不用看原文 只要看读起来的感觉就知道 以前只看过金七八十年代的老书,这本手机是05年写的~~ 非常好看,老金对于恐怖氛围的营造是没说的 看完整本书就像看完了一部恐怖+灾难电影 还有结尾那个带着悬念的结局 ...
评分对不起,我刚看了第一页,就忍不住要说话了。 第一页上有这样一句话,“这个年轻人大概是用小BB来庆祝某个小小的胜利吧,可能这胜利不一定很小。” 可能这胜利不一定很小。这位上海译文出版社的翻译大姐,您会说话吗? 真败兴,我都懒得再看下去了,都知道我这人没什么耐心...
若当作科幻或恐怖小说来读,这部十年前的小说无论是设定还是情节都显得太过时了,当哈佛帽衫男出现时我几乎就要弃了。但隐约间这似乎又不仅于此,因为SK不厌其烦的细节描写与反英雄推理,都让我想到一百年前Wells的The War of Wars,甚至连病素变异的情节都很像。所以说这部小说可以在不同的层面上解读。作为科幻小说真的很平庸,作为警世格言却又很隽永。
评分A different tone from what I remember reading as a kid; there's not much plot, a third of the way in and the three main characters are still just sitting around; the language and symbols aren't as strong or dark as I remember either. Written for NYC/Ameri
评分科幻吧……
评分真的一盘盘,几个人物立起来了,情节没有震惊到,阅读体验太差,可能是我英语不够好吧。。
评分读过的第一本史蒂芬的恐怖小说,真不错啊,诡异气氛逐步升级,让人欲罢不能。主人公们面对危机的执着精神也让人感动,尤其是Clay对于儿子的执着,真的是父爱的最好阐释。结尾出的悬念也留得恰到好处,没有happy ending那么俗不可耐,也没有让人丧失对美好的向往。极力推荐。
