Title: cellular defect
Review: The title of this Stephen King novel is a conflation of "cell phone", "brain cell", and "terrorist cell".King's zombie tale seems to be an allegorical presentation of a particularly mindless interpretation of terrorism. The cell-phone zombies represent modern society run amok. Unprovoked atrocity is the only response that occurs to the remaining "normies". But that's ok, because the programming that coordinates the zombies is decaying anyway.Aside from the political subtext, the problem with this book is that it is dull. Tons of gore, but no danger. Characters that are less lively than their zombie counterparts.I love Stephen King. But this book is just a disappointment, even worse than his latest few. It's as if the man stopped writing after the crash and turned his name over to a syndicate.
