" Campbell Scott does such an amazing job narrating this book. I have listened to it several times over the last few months and I always pick up something new. If you have seen the movie for this story, please read/listen to this book! It is so much better than the movie. "

" HUGE Stephen King fan. Since I was twelve, and I am going on 44. Will be till the day I die, but this one was not his best. As usual, his characters are top notch, cool and their story lines are straight out of Kingland...but even though the initial premise was promising, I felt he went nowhere with it. SPOILER ALERT. The catastrophe is cool, but what happened after to the "phoners" was disappointing and left a bad taste in my mouth. I just didn't get hooked on the ongoing transformation, it wasn't "enough"... "

" First King book that jumps right in with both feet. Usually he spends a lot of time building the characters and the story fills in around it. This did just the opposite and did it well. It was hard to put down and the characters were very likable. Made me think twice before answering my cell:) Would have liked a better ending or a sequel. "

" Wow finally finished... this was an easy read and I have been meaning to read this book for years as it has only been sitting in my bookshelf for like 5-6 years ... I didn't mind the story line don't read sci-fi books so it was a totally different read then I'm used to. Wasn't happy with the ending It just stops or am I just not getting it :( I've got about 7 more of his book so hopefully they r better "

" I wasn't blown away but I liked it nevertheless. It certainly lacks action and could have done with a better ending but I found the characters well-developped and some were quite compelling. I don't want to give away any details... My advice is; if you're a SK fan, go for it. In case you're new to the world of Mr. King and you decided to give the author a shot, I would recommend picking another novel (IT, The Stand, Pet Sematary, Misery...). "

" Not as gory as I anticipated but a great read nonetheless. It's got a good idea behind it (mobiles fuzzing up the brain and turning you into a zombie) and also concerns itself with telepathic ideas. The protagonist, Clay, is trying to find his family and a ragtag bunch of people fall in and out of his life as he makes his journey of which some are lucky and some aren't. It's mostly a book about exploring these characters and the uncertainty that pervades their situation of which King doesn't offer an explanation for at the end. It feels like it doesn't need to as well seeing as it's from the perspective of what would be likely you or I in this situation. Anyway, it's superb. "

" Starting off strong, this is definitely of the more-recent King storytelling style. The conclusion felt stuttered and chopped, and I ultimately didn't get a feel for most of the characters. "

" One of the least favorite King books that I have read. It had no real plot, poor character development, and, in my opinion, was just plain boring. Stephen King is my favorite author, but this effort fell way, way short of what I have come to expect of his work. "

" I love many King novels. This is not one of them. I believe every writer should approach a novel as if they were trying to be published for the first time. Cell would never have been published if it was not by King. "

" So far this book is pretty good. I like the idea of a zombie epedemic occruing due to cell phones. It could totally happen. Maybe now I'll be more careful with my cell phone. I think this book is also a societal comment on terrorism. There are a lot of 9/11 style references within this book.
