“Cell” By Stephen King Review

Graphic artist Clay Riddell was in the heart of Boston on that brilliant autumn afternoon when hell was unleashed before his eyes. Without warning, carnage and chaos reigned. Ordinary people fell victim to the basest, most animalistic destruction. And the apocalypse began with the ring of a cell phone.

To be honest I didn’t have any expectations for this book, because I didn’t know a lot about it before going into it.

The plot in this book is for sure a unique one. The plot in this book is cellphones turning human into a terminators / zombie of sorts. It had good premise but the way the plot was turning into, wasn’t just quite for me.

This book starts with a huge bang. And for that I gave this book some extra points for.

However its important to say that this book is far away from being my favourite Stephen king book. But as a die hard fan of his, I needed to read this one.

I had some thoughts about DNF-ing this book after reading around 60% of it because I wasn’t quite liking this book and I was becoming very bored. But I’ve struggled through it and I was able to finish it. But my initial opinions and thoughts about this book didn’t change after finishing this book.

The character in this book were very weird because they were good characters but at the same time they weren’t. Which really made me unsure what to say about them in this review which is the reason why I didn’t write this review before 3 weeks after finishing this book.

The characters here, had some good moments here and there but for the most part they were pretty flat and boring. And I found myself not caring about them at all. 

The writing style here was good, which made me give this book some extra point. However the writing style wasn’t on the same level with Stephen king’s other work. Which really made me disappointed in this book.

I Give This Book 2 / 5
