Cell by Stephen King

I thought this book was fabulous! It was very scary though to think that something like that could happen. I know quite a few people who are on their cell phones all the time. I am going to need to keep an eye on them from now on. Stephen King turned out another page turner!

I have not read it, but saw it in the store the other day. It looks interesting. Was it good? Most of his books are great. What is is about?

I'm a big Stephen King and have written the occasional piece of dark fantasy myself. King has written some of his best work in the past couple of years and I believe that Cell is one of the scariest things he has written. Having said that, I was kind of disappointed by the end. I would have liked to know what happened. King is one of the great writers of our time. His understanding of ordinary people is very much underrated and the lynch pin of this story is the love between father and son. I highly recommend it

Until I was at the end of the book, I thought this book was like a zombie story. That would've been so cool because I love almost everything zombie! lol. I was so TOTALLY surprised when S.K. described the naked man with his c*ck swinging as he ran. I was like, OMG I can't believe he put that in one of his books!

I love the book.It was scary in the fact that he took something we use everyday and turned it into a monster.It has a reality basies to the story and that is what is so scary!Got to have my Stephen King everyday...

ive never read it but seems like a good one will try 1 day thanx

I have read many books of S, King, but for three years I have heavy sight problems I have and I do a lot of effort to read, unfortunately have not read it, hope let the film.

As an avid reader I was enthused to hear of King's return to pure horror. When I found out the book was about technology and terror I couldn't resist seeig the spin King would yarn on this subject. The book begins well enough, the usual "band of believers" surviving the "Pulse" and seeking answers. Then the book drops the call. The book was headed for a solid four star review until the end. The ending was completely contrived, as if written to meet a deadline later that same day. What was the Pulse? I don't know. Who was behind it? You got me there too? What about Clay's son? Who knows. What of the rest of the gang? Nothing. No word on anything. End the end "The Pulse" was weak and shortly faded completely. King flatlined on this one. Good idea, bad book.

kashwak=no-fo! Yeah I read the book, I loved it. Like others though, I did think it had a piss-weak ending, I wanted to know who it was that started the pulse. :(

I agree that the ending was fairly weak. I wouldn't go as far as to say it was a bad book. Though King did leave us wondering about a lot of the plot, I think he did a great job putting us inside Clayton's head. I know I almost cried every time he found one of Johnny's notes. "PLEASE COME GET ME" almost killed me.

I love that Stephen King has gone back to his horor/disaster books. This is now a foavorite, up there with The Stand. I love the way this book reads,and the fact that the villain is something most people use on a daily basis.The people who survive are a group of people who would normally not stand out in a crowd. I love that he left us hanging at the end, it how he works.

I was never one for reading, but I got introduced back into reading and I was offered this book to read. I really enjoyed it, and actually started looking around to see how many people in the world carry a cell phone now adays. Its actually really scary if you ask me.

I read this book too and to be honest it was good, but not as great as some of the others I have read. I agree it does make you think when it come to cell phones
