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
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...
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...
不知道是书排版的问题 还是 畅销作者文字不够新奇。 决定没有肖申克的救赎、布莱泽、纳粹高徒……这些刺激又好读。 太冗长了,……情节不够刺激。 我只是冲着作者的威名去读的,小失望。 上海译文出版社 是不是不太出他的书哇,怎么目录里就几本,最经典的都没 ………… 手机...
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 ...
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...

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。
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。。
没看明白,呵呵
