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
Good read
First King book I've read in a long time and really enjoyed it
You won’t use your phone for days!
Great reading experience, gripping from start to finish, exciting and hair-raising
King does zombies!
Such a great read and a total surprise for us died in the wool King fans. Deviating for the first time from his usual epic, history-rich method of writing King takes us on a wild ride that never let's up. One of my new King fave reads.
