Title: This is Clunky Writing!
Review: OK, it's a neat theme, and as usual King know how to keep you turning pages. But there are so many turn-offs. Changing from calling the flesh-eating zombies from "Phone Crazies" to the less judgmental "Phone People" -- this is political correctness gone crazy! And beating on the harmless dude who quotes scripture, then praising Massachussetts gun-control laws and characterizing the boy Jordan who wants to fight the zombie army as like a "Muslim teenager {strapping} on a suicide belt stuffed with explosives." Come on! Is Stephen King running for office somewhere, or what? All the references to movies don't really help to make it topical either -- they detract from the immediacy of the situation, a weakness King has always had with his long expository pages in the middle of action that must be taking place in a few seconds. I'm sorry I read this. King HAS written some good stuff in the past.
