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...
评分上班路上就差不多看完了这本书,可以用极快的速度翻过,创意是不错的,然而和很多好莱坞大片一样,大多数时候你可以知道作者(导演)的意图只是为了让你更着急与好奇。但其实你只是无动于衷地看它耍把戏,你清楚地知道它没有带你陷落到故事里。 有闪光点,可惜太分散,很多时...
评分作为金的小说,和以往相比差了许许多多。 许许多多的细节并没有在情节中作交等,脉冲的由来,怎么进入手机频道的,到底有多少人活下来,经过一次这种灾难的洗礼,多少人来伸出抱紧的双手去应对这个已经破碎的世界。 作者过于细节的去交待克雷他们逃出升天的过程,而对于情人的...
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...
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...
正在看中文版,有精力打算看看英文的
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。
