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.
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 评分没看明白,呵呵
评分个人觉得Steven King 的科幻的设定过于天马行空,而且从来不屑于解释,不过好像好多人喜欢这种
评分「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///
评分科幻吧……
评分ending is a new attempt by king.. well not too bad
