A review by guywho_reads
Cell by Stephen King

3.0

I’ve heard of things about this story, but nonetheless I tried to go with an open mind. I knew the basic premise of the novel but was surprised to read the parallels of what seems to be a zombie apocalypse type story. I like Clay as the protagonist but found myself gravitating more toward Tom (I wonder why). I agree with many other King lovers that the novel has a strong start and behind to fizzle out about halfway through. Especially once Dan, Ray, & Denise get introduced I felt like we lost connection with the core 4 characters. I liked the ending and how it was open ended but I would love to find out what happens to Johnny and if the duo can reconnect with their old friends. Also, am I the only one wondering what post cell phone life looks like in modern (2008) society?
