Cell Formats: Hardcover/Paperback/Audio/eBook/Kindle First Edition Release Date: January, 2006
Synopsis:
Artist Clayton Riddell had been in Boston negotiating a successful deal to sell his comic book project. His joy at finally hitting it big is shattered by an event called The Pulse which causes all those who were using their cell phones at the time of The Pulse to become zombies attacking and killing anyone in their way. Fortunately for Clay, he does not own a cell phone. In the panic to get out of Boston and find his way home to his wife and son in Maine, he is joined by Tom McCourt, a man he meets in the meleé immediately following The Pulse and a young girl, Alice, who they rescue from being killed by one of the “crazies.” The story follows their terrifying journey, avoiding capture—and worse—by the “crazies” who are beginning to “flock” and are led by one they call Raggedy Man as they attempt to reach Maine and a place called Kashwak which they hope will be their salvation.

Cell was indeed one of the best books that I have ever read. It is full of unforgettable characters. The story is without a doubt one of the best ones that he has ever written in his whole career as a writer. I truly loved this book!

I didn't like this book in comparison to other SK novels. However i must say i was quickly swept into it at the very beginning, and read eagerly for several nights. But then after Alice....*spoiler, i didn't pick it up to finish for another 3-4 months. Actually, i kind of tossed it across my room, and ripped the cover off i was so angry at what happened to my favorite character. But i did enjoy the ending. It didn't leave me wondering at all (After i thought about it for a few minutes, i was laughing my @!! off.).

This was the second S.K book that I read and I clung to every word! I was so sad when what happened to Alice did happen (don't want to give away too much but I most likely have!) but then again in real life it is not always they most loveable that live (sorry, big giveaway!). I was slightly dissapointed at the end but I could not stop thinking about the story because of it! So what if some readers do not like the abrupt cliff hanger? I still reckon you could not help but wonder if there was goin to be another book following Clay's story, or did the story end with Clay and the possibility that his last desperate plan did indeed fail leading to his death? Causing you to constantly think about a story after it is finished is what makes a fantastic writer!
