Negative Positive
Title: Well, you can't win 'em all.
Review: A few bright spots, but stilted characters, very few surprises, and gratuitous use of several eye-rollingly lame urban legends as fact ("you only use 2% of your brain", you can blow up a fuel tank with a gunshot). My husband, a biologist and computer guy, was holding his sides and howling with laughter when I read out loud a few of the neurobiology/computer metaphor conversations.Love SK, but Cell is definitely not his finest work. A few stars for potential, if only it had been edited to hell and presented as a tight, terrifying novella.
