A pretty novel take on the zombie genre, I was into the book until the bitter end but some of the zombies' actions left me feeling seperated from the story.

Really exciting, action packed read. Not King's best written or most compellingly sketched characters but still very, very good. King gives his interpretation of the zombie genre by riffing off of both Romero and Boyle's 28 DAYS LATER as well as I AM LEGEND (the friggin book people) and other sci-fi and horror classics most notably THE BIRDS. I hope Eli Roth doesn't fuck up the movie version.

This book should have ended halfway through. I loved the first half of it and then it got ridiculous. Very sad to see what started as an interesting venture turn south so quickly. The ending was particularly jarring. I actually checked my book to see if perhaps some pages had been torn out (since I purchased my copy used), but no such luck. That abrupt, almost random stop? It really is the end.

The blurb on the back of the book indicated a psychological thriller, instead I got a zombie bloodfest. There were some good, interesting characters, the first 50 or so pages were promising and intense, then it became boring. In the middle it picked up again and the last few chapters were quite good but the ending wasn't satisfying. I wish Alice hadn't died. Stephen King is a strong...more

Actually, I heard the audiobook. I liked it all (and it's a very good audiobook production), until the end!!! Couldn't there have been a better ending?! Anyway, it's got good realistic characters you can relate to, who find themselves in incredible situations you hope you'll never be in. The story's a lot of fun. I hope it doesn't become a movie. I can stand reading descriptions of gore and...more

I loved this book the second Stephan King novel i managed to read the whole way through and thats partly because at the tender age of 15 i have yet to fully immerse myself in his works. I am well aware that the reviews for this book arn't as good as mine but i really enjoyed this book and i think it needed a bit more support than it got.So if you fancy a quite scary read for the very...more

I'm a big fan of King's. If I ever want an entertaining read, I can count on him for thrills, suspense, and great character development. However, I find that with The Cell, he is losing his usual spark. The characters are not as sharp and there seems to be less point to his story. Yeah, cell phones are bad. We get it. But this certainly won't become a timeless classic and...more

The book I read last year that kind of surprised me that I liked so much. I bought it for someone, else, and ended up reading it for no other reason than I decided to read a book a month last year and it was purse small. I loved the premise and the characters. Not so horribly scary like some King, and it made me think. As usual, he killed off one of my favorite characters...sigh.
