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...
评分这部小说让人不禁想起前段时间美国热映的电影『我是传奇』。事实上,据说斯蒂芬·金在创作本书的时候亦的确是借鉴了『我是传奇』等经典作品原著的构思。 不过,斯蒂芬·金尽管是个制造惊悚故事的顶级高手,但操作『手机』这样带有科幻内容的题材时却明显表现出力不从心:技术...
评分《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...
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...
要记得此书是来美之后,第一次逛costco买的……于是要MARK一下……
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ending is a new attempt by king.. well not too bad
评分这个小说吧,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。
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
