In fact, I haven't been sucked into a Stephen King story this fast since Gerald's Game. The story gripped my attention throughout. I loved it.

Didn’t Like It2 of 3 members found this review helpful“I've mentioned that one thing Stephen King does well is build up a slow burn and then have things explode towards the end of a book.

In real life you don't always find out what happened and why it happened. More often than not you may know what happened but you rarely know why.
I respect Stephen King for the way he ended this novel - I felt it was brilliant. The implication is that the people who initiated the event probably were destroyed by it as well and whatever their goals were when they thought it up make no difference - it worked too well. The main character had to end up dealing with the world the way the world ended up and that's what important.”

The "Pulse" is sent out through cell phones and turns anyone who uses one into a mindless zombie or "Phone Crazies". This book is recomended to anyone who likes Stephan King books or Horror Novels.”

As a Christian, it was blatantly obvious that King has a grudge against Christianity especially since all Christians in this book were portrayed as schizophrenic, insane, deceitful, and unloving. Something that is very contrary to what true Christianity is about.”
