5/21/2023 0 Comments Stephen king the cell book review![]() ![]() It’s engaging and well written and once you’re hooked in, you’re hooked until the last page which ends on an interestingly ambiguous note. It starts strong with bedlam breaking out in Boston, before slacking off a little before King builds and builds towards a big finish. My issue with the book: How come Jordan (a boy) would know what has been going on with the Pulse and how it works with the brain (erase, restarts memory). What caused the pulse is never fully explained, and the survivors have to slowly work out how the phoners work and change. Review: Cell User Review - Martin Sisolak - Goodreads. ![]() What I liked about this book is that it kicks off with fairly familiar zombie apocalypse tropes and settings, but King drip feeds in the differences, adding a sense of mystery and weirdness. ![]() With the phoners sleeping during the night, they navigate the dark and try to figure out what is happening. As time passes they begin to witness that the infected have changed, that there is flocking behaviour and the suggestion of some kind of higher brain function. Clay hooks up with a bunch of survivors and they decide to get the hell out of town, with Clay determined to travel home and find out what happened to his wife and son, who owned a mobile.Īlong the way they have to avoid the “phoners”, scavenge supplies and try to survive. ![]() The plot is simple, while in Boston for business artist Clay witnesses “the Pulse” an event that sends a message through every mobile phone turning the owner into vicious, violent maniacs. ![]()
