Title: King's Newest Screenplay?
Review: Although I enjoyed this book, I must admit it's nowhere near King's best. As some people have mentioned, it's similar to The Stand but a lot shorter. The premise of having cell phones wipe people's minds is pretty original. The first half of the book is very intense. However, I couldn't help feeling something missing. Some of the characters, especially the women, are not really given much character development. The one who is, is killed off. Also there are huge jumps in time as well as shifts between time periods. The ending is rather rushed and the cell phone epidemic is never explained. That being said, yeah, it's no Stand but it is a short enjoyable read.
