Publisher Description
The next call you take could be your last in this terrifying #1 New York Times bestseller by master storyteller Stephen King!
On October 1, God is in His heaven, the stock market stands at 10,140, most of the planes are on time, and graphic artist Clayton Riddell is visiting Boston, having just landed a deal that might finally enable him to make art instead of teaching it. But all those good feelings about the future change in a hurry thanks to a devastating phenomenon that will come to be known as The Pulse.
The delivery method is a cell phone—everyone’s cell phone. Now Clay and the few desperate survivors who join him suddenly find themselves in the pitch-black night of civilization’s darkest age, surrounded by chaos, carnage, and a relentless human horde that has been reduced to its basest nature...and then begins to evolve.
There’s really no escaping this nightmare. But for Clay, an arrow points the way home to his family in Maine, and as he and his fellow refugees make their harrowing journey north, they begin to see the crude signs confirming their direction. A promise of a safe haven, perhaps, or quite possibly the deadliest trap of all…
Customer Reviews
Great book
I loved this book the characters were amazing and the whole idea was just so cool! The only reason I'm not giving this book a 5 is because of the cliffhanger ending it made me think for weeks afterward and it was just so annoying I really want to know what happens I wonder if he will write a sequel? Anyway I would recommend this book to all of my friends and I would have to say this is one of Stephan kings best books its definitely worth the money!
Cell
Well, I guess shame on me for expecting something very much different from Mr. Kings myriad of other literary works. He goes on and on and on with something so implausible and far-fetched that it is maddening that he did not condense it by about one half. At over 600 pages, this book, (with its subject matter that parallels Cormac McCarthys "The Road" in many ways), is much too long, drawn out and has nothing of substance to awaken the readers senses too much. To me, I would say that Mr. King has gone to the well a few too many times with offerings such as "the Cell."
Awesome
One of my all time favourite books (and i have read A LOT of books) Definitely worth the cash.
