具体描述

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.

作者简介

Stephen King lives in Maine with his wife,the novelist Tabitha King.He does not own a cell phone.

读后感

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...  

《手机》这部小说应该是证明了一条理论：任何事物都有盛衰，再牛的作家，也有写出败笔的时候，哪怕是牛气冲天的斯蒂芬·金，也不例外。 《手机》的情节用一句话就可以说完，小说版的《活死人黎明》，只是引发原因是不知所谓的手机脉冲。老金借用电影的创意几乎到了不知...  

第一次接触应该是从斯蒂芬金的电影版《迷雾》开始的，里面有两个印象深刻的镜头，1：天主教女人你蛊惑人心那段。2：自然就是结局。当时真的被震撼到了。后来才知道《肖申克的救赎》也是斯蒂芬金写的，大有崇拜之意。 于是便开始看这部《手机》，我平时比较忙，所以只...  

科技，以人为命 于是 在前一本面世的《尸骨袋》中，斯蒂芬•金写到遭遇创作瓶颈的畅销作家在银行保险库里有好几本现成的小说，有如“合格的松鼠储存了果实”，在大半年一个字都写不出来的情况下照样能够从秘密箱子里取出一本来出版。不过，即便那是金作家曾用的伎俩，“果实...  

这本书看得我昏昏欲睡, 以莫大的毅力才断断续续看完, 大部分是在厕所里啃完. 人物刻画等于没有, 情节即使不能说老套也是淡得象白开水, 老金拿手的恐怖氛围更是欠奉. 如果是短篇故事还凑合, 可惜硬拉成了长篇. 那个重装系统的原理套用到人脑上实在是囧不可言. 以我看来, 老金...

用户评价

这个小说吧，现在时代看来可能科技感弱了很多。但是情景描述，故事层级都还是很棒的，惊悚专家嘛。人物塑造也很鲜明，但是感觉老金多少在很多地方有各种个性偏见，用词也比较刻薄，包容心很弱。

看的是中文版

总的来说。。。。一般

「剧透警告」:好喜欢里面的人物塑造，尤其是Tom和Alice~~~ 但是。。。这开放式结局真TM太坑爹了啊!!! 有木有??? 强烈要求Clay&Tom他们重合!!! T T///

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。
