To begin this review i will let you know that I am a big fan of Stephen King and that I have read quite alot of his novels/novella and was kind of worried about his more "modern" works, but I was too paranoid as it was a great story. It is definatly not his best novel nor his worst but it was enjoyable non the less. The great thing about "Cell" is that it takes a everyday item and turns it into a problem.. a large problem, somehow a pulse is broadcasted through cellphones and cause's the user to instantly turn rabid and zombielike, but it is worth noting that they are not zombies, they are simply people infected with a disease much like thoese of "I am Legend" Pretty straight foward story line, Husband is interstate, infection takes place, Husband must get back to family. This may sound like another "dawn of the dead" type movie in a book and thats what it basically is, its very gory, realativly short, and easy to read and thats what made it so enjoyable. Overall it was a very fun novel, not very serious or memorable read, has some unique features but i will probably forget about it until the movie is released (quinteen tarentino :O) but for the holidays it was just a fun read.
