Negative Positive
Title: Readable Fluff.
Review: Two stars is generous & I am only this charitable due to my love of Stephen Kings writing. Steve has been off the boil for some time now & for this I forgive him. He has created such masterpieces in his long & illustrious career, that it would be impossible for any writer to keep up with such high & often genious standards. Shades of the old, brilliant Steve were evident in the Dark Towers 'Wolves of Calla', & in reading this I foung myself encapsulated in the good old days of 'The Stand', The Tommyknockers' & IT. CELL was a quick, economical read, devoid of any emotion or compelling story line, complete with a fistfull of vacuous, immature characters, wandering aimlessly in a desolate landscape. Disappointing, yet readable fluff, that only a recent reader of King could enjoy... delve into that back catalogue & find out what a real thriller is. Sorry Steve, I still love you, think Ill read 'The Running Man ' again to renew my faith.
