I purchased Cell and was immediately hooked! True to classic Stephen King writing, this novel starts off with a bang and doesn't slow down. I usually don't like the idea of being read to, but after starting a new job where I was required to commute an hour in each direction, at an extremely early hour in the morning, I decided I needed to find a way to stay awake when the radio just wasn't cutting it. I was immediately drawn into the story, not just by the content, but also by the reader's voice. I couldn't wait to get in the car each morning to hear more of the story! The reader is able to captivate his audience with the different accents and influctions of his voice, which adds great enjoyment to the spellbinding tale. Having been recently written, and citing world events that actually occured not long ago, this intriguing tale of horror makes us wonder if the cellular phone lines could actually be taken over by a terrorist, scientific, or even alien force. At the end, I found myself wanting to know even more of the stories, having been drawn into the personal lives of each of the characters. I would highly recommend this novel to any of King's fans. You won't be disappointed!Read full review
I just finished listening to the "Cell" audiobook, and I was very impressed. It had a "Dawn of the Dead" and "28 Days Later" theme that tied into an everyday luxury we all have...a cell phone. A typical Stephen King story that sets you into the mood of the story and then keeps you wanting more. The ending leaves you wondering how the story will go on in a typical Stephen King fashion. I am a big fan of Stephen King and I really enjoy all his works. Stephen King does not disappoint with this story. I've just started using audiobooks, and the Stephen Kins books on audio adds a new dimension to the stories. I rate this one high!
I bought this cd set as a gift for my husband. He was happy to be able to add this set to his King collection of work. He has been a huge fan of Mr. King's work for many years, long before it was popular! In the very early days they used snail mail to write to each other. My husband has read (& listened) to everything both Kings have wrote. He enjoys revisiting these books on cd, over and over, when he travels. My husband loved "Cell"! Yet he did said, "This one is a little slow going in the beging. Stick with it though, because it is well worth your time!" Enjoy folks!! I know my husband did and will again.
I had to at least here what the latest Stephen King story was about. I listened to this on my daily 1/2 hour ride to work. I actually wanted the ride to last longer then the 1/2 hour so I could see what happened next. In the end I felt it was a great story, read professionally and with feeling. The only thing I felt was cheezy was the typical Steven King characters and some of their sayings and names of certain things as the story goes along, one of them "Mr. Speedy" as a nickname for a machine gun and many others. Overall this was very enjoyable and I'm glad I did the audio book version instead of actually reading the book.
I loved this book. It was a quick and easy read. Mr. King never seems to let us down, always supplying us with the perfect amount of GORE!! This book was funny, quick-witted, TRAGIC. It was a great read, especially after a stressful day!! PULSING Cell Phones, Humans turning to Zombies, and the Good Guys killing the bad guys....that's what it's all about.
