Cell

by Stephen King

Witness Stephen King's triumphant, blood-spattered return to the genre that made him famous. Cell, the king of horror's homage to zombie films (the book is dedicated in part to George A. Romero) is his goriest, most horrific novel in years, not to mention the most intensely paced.

“Cell is a story about about a man trying to find his family after a pulse transmitted through cell phones wipe out the minds of people who use them and turn them into raging, violent half humans. The main character travels from Boston to Maine to find his family on foot. On his way he picks up both friends and enemies. This story reminds me of the movie 28 weeks later.

“The most disappointed I've ever been in a King book. First off, this is NOT a zombie story, as most people think! I can't stress that enough!

    “A different kind of Stephen King novel. Yes, there is some gore, however, this novel really brings out what I have come to believe is what really drives most of his work .... the mind. Very cerebral .... mostly deals with the human condition ... one other thing, as I was almost finished with the book I checked to see what some of you thought and I have to agree ... the ending was ... "Ha! That's it?" .... but then it reminded me of King's Pet Cemetary (the book, not the movie) and the short story of The Lady or the Tiger. The endings leave it up to the reader to decide how they believe what the outcome will be ... oh, once done reading it, I have never looked at my, or anyone elses cell the same again ...... ”

    “I really enjoyed this Stephen King novel! Starts out with a bang and keeps you turning the pages. The ending leaves you hanging a bit, but I loved it that way!”
