APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
Leave it to Stephen King to make you afraid of your own phone. In Cell, America’s master of horror starts with an awful but ever-so-plausible premise: every human with a cell phone intercepts a viral signal that turns them into murderers. We follow a handful of survivors on the run across New England. Witty and self-aware, the novel is a quip-driven blast with scathing social commentary and an unforgettable villain. Only King could rewrite the rules of the zombie apocalypse so confidently—and ground it all in one father’s single-minded mission to find his son.
Customer Reviews
Half Vintage King
A great first half is let down by a limp ending. What starts as a thrill ride full of action and some genuine scary moments is then replaced by a tepid road journey. For the most part this is King at his best, but the ending just doesn’t do it for me.
