    Well... Just ordered "Cell"...

    God knows when I'll have time to read it, but I like the idea of the story (the little I've heard of it) so what the hell!

    I am about 50 pages into it and I like what I have read so far.

    I got him to sign it for me at a lecture last Sunday Night, as well as my Creepshow and The Dark Half laserdiscs.

    You'll either love it or hate it. I loved the first 100-or so pages, but it went downhill for me after that.

    good read, but that ending....

    I think someone left out a chapter or two, seriously

    This is why I bought the audio book version. I've been listening to it on my drives for the past week or so ... I'm on about chapter 21 and I'm loving it!

    I'm looking forward to it myself.

    I wonder if it will have any links to the Dark Tower like most of his other books, considering the end of the DT series.

    I doubt it though, he ain't going back to that as far as I know, so it will be interesting to read one of his stories without it tying into the DT Books.

    I'll definitely pick it up, but probably in a few months, as I just have too many books going right now. As far as endings go, I just don't expect any strong endgame scenarios from King in any of his books.

    Yea, King is basically known as the King of horror fiction, and the King of lackluster endings...

    What did you think of The Regulators and Desperation? I can't remember which came out first, they may have been released at the same time.....those were very nice reads.

    I havent read those yet...and I think Desperation came first, but I may be wrong.

    I wished I read those before the DT Series cause I hear you learn a bit more about the Series through those books. Same with Insomnia and one other...I forget what one..
