In the first section, the crap really hits the fan.Â One moment, the world is going on as it always does, and the protagonist is complaining about inconsiderate people with cell phones, ignoring cashiers as they buy things and talk and their phones, and whatnot.Â The next moment everyone who’s talking on a cell phone… changes, basically going all zombie, attacking anything in sight with their teeth.Â And, of course, those people who didn’t happen to be on their cell phones tend to reach for cell phone and they’re changed as well.Â It’s an interesting idea to create a new source of zombies besides the usual curse or virus, but his message is just too transparent.Â In the author bio, he even points out that he doesn’t have a cell phone.Â As I was reading I was often distracted imagining the origin of the story–King in a department store waiting in the checkout line behind someone chatting away on their cell phone, and King thinks “You know what?Â I wish that person would turn into a flesh-eating zombie!Â Hey, that’s an idea for a book!” My verdict:Â Don’t bother.Â Flat characters, ridiculous plot points, terrible resolution.Ĭell is one of King’s weakest books to date.Â The flaws of this book are different than his usual, so I’ll give him a credit for trying something different.Â Usually he spends the first three-fourths of a book giving character background before getting to the main plot of the book.Â This one was very short for him, at only 350 pages, and the action starts right away on page 2, but the characters in Cell are surprisingly lacking in defining features.Â Each of them is one-dimensional and none of them felt like real people to me.
