I like Stephen King, I like the way he writes and I like the stories he weaves. I also like Cell a lot. (although the UK paperback cover was dreadful). However, I can’t help feeling that I was somehow shortchanged by reading this. You see, the basic story had too many similarities to his great (and possibly my favourite) novel The Stand.

That isn’t to say this wasn’t good, or even really good. I read it quickly and that is always a good sign.

Anyhow, it is still worth reading and it comes highly recommended… as does The Stand
