tbell204 says "Gripping to the very end!" about Cell

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!

Lexismom05 says "This one I couldn't put down!" about Cell

This is one book that was hard for me to put down, although almost everything Stephen King writes is hard to put down. Not only did this book make a valid point about cell phones but it also scares the crap out of you when you read it. Nobody wants to think that a cell phone could possibly cause mass pandemonium and death like that in a mere instant. Especially when pretty much everyone owns a cell phone. Stephen King starts out slow and then Bam! he just starts right into the scary, death defiying problems that he's so fond of creating. This book is one that everyone should read!...

mypointsoogienana says " "the Stand" if it was written for THESE times. but not so big" about Cell

mypointsoogienana — Wed, 07 May 2008 19:27:15 GMT

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.

erotaslover says "Perfect King Book" about Cell

erotaslover — Wed, 23 Apr 2008 03:24:32 GMT

I love Stephen King novels, the movies not so much, actually they suck. King is a very detailed writer, and that is what makes him such a good novelist. Although most of his books are a lilttle off they are still good, this book is no exception. This book took me awhile to finish but all King books do, but in the end it was good. The ending was very open and your not sure what really happens. It is worth picking up if you are a King fan....

chrissysmom says "Very scary, Very Stephen King" about Cell

This is a great book, I couldn't put it down. It will make you think everytime you put that cell phone to your ear to make or take a call....

whatisthepoint2000 says "Weird and creepy, very king." about Cell

whatisthepoint2000 — Tue, 05 Feb 2008 14:19:32 GMT

I couldn't put it down. At times I felt like I needed to stop reading, or else I would become paranoid once someone called me. I kept waiting for the moment when the affected would come through my door....

mamabear905 says "Good quick read" about Cell

mamabear905 — Tue, 18 Dec 2007 21:15:21 GMT

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.

mrphilinmaine says "King of Horror Continues to Come Through." about Cell

mrphilinmaine — Sat, 15 Dec 2007 15:51:02 GMT

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 focuses on a group of people who VIA a satellite signal become zombies, walking-dead.

The story telling is vivid, the details are riveting. This is new King, but in the same time it's vintage King. Fans of horror or Stephen King will definitely like it I'd put a guarantee on it. The twist is enough you won't be bored with the classic (Night of the Living Dead) theme. Yet it is also cherishable enough to follow and remember with heartfelt nostalgia. definitely as long as a King novel which means it will take you time, but then the story ends way before you expect. Great ending...!

zeewie says "This book was pretty scary, I didn't finish it. " about Cell

zeewie — Sat, 15 Dec 2007 15:26:12 GMT

I read about half this book. It was good. But it was scary. I haven't been able to find where I put it so never finished it. I probably will whenever I figure out wherre it is. I would recommend this book very highly. This author almost always manages to catch my interest from page one. I think I have read almost every one of his books. or darn near....

TabithaJohnson20 says "The cell phone carrier dialed up huge savings!" about Cell

TabithaJohnson20 — Mon, 03 Dec 2007 17:33:17 GMT

It was a great movie so i am guessing the book is also like that with a little difference but i still loved it reguardless anyways i think some one who loves fiction should read this book it is a very good read. I know i am one person who loves weird books i love to read them and even when it is cold and dark in the house those are better because then you really get into a scarey book the darker the better....

thutigger says "a new take on the zombie genre" about Cell

thutigger — Thu, 29 Nov 2007 05:23:53 GMT

If for no other reason, I thank Stephen King for taking those five words which haunt tv commercials:, "Can you hear me now?" and turning the phrase into something more than merely annoying..and into the realm of the truly ominous. While it might seem obvious to some of us that cell phones are horrible little devices, it still takes a pretty talented writer to write a book about evil spread by cell phones...and to keep readers riveted the entire time. I was one of those readers. Like King, I refuse to have a cell phone, an "electronic leash". No thanks.

But I'm really digressing here. Back to The Cell . If you think you don't like King's "supernatural" or "horror" style, I'd urge you to give The Cell a chance. I read it from cover to cover in one sitting.
I can't say it is the best book he's written but it was still a fine read and had many of the trademarks of King's superior writing - excellent characterization, an unpredictable plot and just enough plausability to make me think, "WHat......

boliyou says "When technology attacks" about Cell

boliyou — Sun, 25 Nov 2007 03:35:49 GMT

Imagine if something as ubiquitous as cell phones suddenly turned on us. That's the premise of Stephen King's Cell: A Novel. One bright October morning, Clayton Riddle is visiting Boston. He's having a great day and is thinking about his son and estranged wife and getting home to them. To try to reconcile. The ordinary thoughts of an ordinary man on an ordinary day. Then, at 2:00 pm, everyone who had been on a cell phone goes suddenly, violently mad.

Clay doesn't have a cell phone, and so is safe for the moment if he can stay out of the way of the crazies. But there are an awful lot of cell users... and they're not particular about who they go after. Clay's first thought is to get to his wife and son. Have they been impacted by this? Are they safe? Later come the less personal questions: How did this happen? Why? Was it terrorists? If so, what will they try next?

Clay's odyssey to his home in Maine is joined by a few motley others, although most of the unaffected refugees from the violence...
