I don't read much horror and I haven't been a big King fan in ten or fifteen years, but I did enjoy Cell.

I was surprised by how well written it was and I was hooked by the second page. It was exciting and made me want to keep reading it, because I just had to know what was going to happen to the characters.

I wasn't crazy about where it ended and I felt like there could have been a little more to the story, but it was good.

As I'm sure you can guess by the pool of blood on the cover, this was gory; although, I did not think it was scary.

I know many Stephen King fans were disappointed with this novel, but I really enjoyed it. I was immediately captivated by the story. I may have liked it better if the cause of all the devastation was explained, but King chose to keep his readers guessing with this one, which was fine with me. The ending was great, left me wondering, don't want to give anything away.

Cell phones becomes the harbinger of chaos and horror in the beginning and becomes the tool of hope in the end.

A fun and interesting take on the zombie apocalypse genre ala Stephen King. Includes the wonderful character development typical of a SCtephen King novel and a must read for King aficionados.

What a great book! I kept picturing this mass hoard of zombie type people taking over everything. They would ever fight with each other using little more than grunts to get their point across. It makes you wonder if it could ever really happen. There aren't very many people that don't own a cell phone nowadays. Maybe next time you answer it you will be brainwashed. :)
