    Nice one Mr King!

    What is cell supposed to be about ... cell phone death or something isn't it?

    I might try reading a Stephen King book for the first time soon, might go with Cell for the first try. Otherwise I'll get "Non-Fiction" by Chuck Palahniuk to complete the collection

    The novel turned out pretty good but it's not your typical zombie story. It has zombie elements like the apocalyptic nature of such an event, but not really many flesh eating. I like the fact that King leaves alot of questions unanswered and doesn't tie up any of the loose ends. This novel would do great being fan fictioned to death by fans.

    it's a zombie book, just like 28 Day Later was a zombie movie.

    Movies of Stephen King novels

    are generally crap. Not only do I include those theaterically released, but those on tv (ALA Rose Red, Kingdom Hospital...)

    If I was going to get excited about this (I really liked the book) it would be about Eli Roth's participation.
