3.5 Stars.....Ok, I do believe I'm with the 'don't like the ending' readers on this one, but oh what a beginning!
Clay is happy........he just sold his first graphic novel and can't wait to share the news with his estranged (but loved) wife and 12 year old son; and as it turns out, luckily, does not own a CELL phone. While deciding to celebrate with an ice cream, all hell breaks loose on the streets of Boston, and afterward, crazies are everywhere, thousands of them, and travel by night (to get home to his son) turns out to be the only option.
Overall, I did like this Stephen King sci-fi thriller, but it does have its lulls and did end a bit too abruptly for my taste. With reminders of Night of the Living Dead, and graphic gore, probably not for everyone, but for me, bring on the movie! (view spoiler)

So I cannot quite remember the ending, but I do remember a so-so feeling about it. The book is on my "virtual" reread shelf of the future. Fine review Carol!

Sounds good Carol! I just picked up Revival today. Have you read that ?

Good review - The Cell was so-so for me, too. I see you just mentioned Revival - not a huge fan of that one. I liked Cell better.
Thx. Matthew! Neither are in my top SK reads, but I liked both for different reasons. :-)
Hmmm. Skipping this...another long SK, huh? Great review.
I am still unsure about reading this, since so many people - even SK fans - didn't like it. But it's one of the few King books my local library has a copy of, and since I know myself, I will probably borrow it one day. ^^ Nice review, Carol!

hell! Main actor Clayton Riddell is super annoying and stupid!! All of my favourite characters died because of his unwise choice. He hadn't even offer any help or effort. How come he was supposed to survive that long!?
