A review by sanjana_argula
Cell by Stephen King
4.0
Cellphones, the 'normal' form of communication of our race, just behind talking. In this horrendous tale from the hands of The Classic King, Stephen King, we are faced by pure decadence, at its core. Something happened, okay? Something bad, and wrong, maybe fixable but not easily, certainly end-of-the-world, not quite happening.
The book deals with an apocalypse. But it is way ahead in the line of major apocalypse sellers. What attracts us to the book instantly is its narration. Unlike other inquisitive narrations, King piques your interest with much skill and experience.
Such that you picture the scenes in front of your eyes (WARNING: Weak hearts better sit this one out!). The potent mixture of humour enveloped with horror, which doesn't quite scratch the definition of dark comedy, is laid out superbly.
You begin falling in love with the characters, are afraid of their struggles and yet you would not want to be in their places. Maybe the situation with every book..but of course... Like any other book, this book is not like any other book. So, you MUST read it to know how its different!
Kudos to King!
