Cell Review Summary
Author Stephen King has become a master of apocalyptic horror stories, metaphorically pitting good vs evil. As Cell begins, Clayton Riddell, writer, has just scored a publishing deal for his graphic novel and harbors dreams of the good life. Unfortunately for him, before that can happen, everyone listening to a cell phone when "The Pulse" is broadcast is turning into a murdering zombie. Since cell phones are on the hips or in the purses of just about everyone, that means just about everyone is now a crazed murderer. Both an indictment of our dependence on modern technology and a good ole Stephen King scare novel, Cell follows the trek of the few sane survivors as they battle the zombies on their way to safety. But, the zombies become smarter. "King keeps the pace and tension moving throughout, with his usual detailed descriptions and keen insight to what will make the reader cringe." Cell is your typical King creep fest and "had many of the trademarks of King's superior writing - excellent characterization, an unpredictable plot and just enough plausibility to make me think, "What if?" Wanna be up all night? Read Cell.

An avid, long term reader of King's works I feel very obligated to try and tempt into you into reading this novel.
Stephen King has a way (Salem's Lot) of taking the classic tales of vampires, zombies, and the like and putting a fascinating twist on it. Modernize it if it do ya well. This tale...

I absolutely love end of the world Stephen King! This one was a bit harder to believe than "The Stand", but was written much better. There were better character's, because by the time you got to love them...tragedy would strike again...And heres what i liked best...for once, it ended with a somewhat happy ending...well, it left you guessing if there could be a happy ending, but it was so twisted i forgave him
Love ya man...you still got it.
btw im getting a whole new set of the "dark Tower" series, just to have in my library to read again...and probably again and again.

Stephen King's Cell has a great story line. This book is for anyone who likes science fiction type books. I absolutely LOVED this book though I am a huge Stephen King fan. It really hits home with our over use of cell phones and makes you think twice about picking it up so often!
I love most of Stephen Kings books, and this one was no exception. I was a good, quick read for me. I didn't want to put it down. The ending is very open, but also very typical. I liked the characters and the story. The book flowed and stayed interesting. Well done.
