I read cell a while ago. It was the first book by King that I read. It was pretty good. I thought it was a little weird and overcomplicated for a story about zombies. I actually thought the book was kind of humorous in some parts. I’d recommend it to anyone who would like a change of pace in horror books about zombies because this one definitely gets deeper than a wicked spell and the rise of the undead that eat brains all day and night.

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
