Title: Constant Readers Will Be Disappointed!
Review: I've been an avid fan of Mr. King's creative writing for quite some time now, and like so many other "Constant Readers," I waited in anticipation for this novel. The premise of the story is brilliant; I must admit. By the time I got to page 35, however, I couldn't help but think of a story that was quite similar to The Stand.I was willing to let that notion slide but this story is lacking so much of the depth that Constant Readers find all too appealing in Mr. King's literary world. The characters are flat, the dialogue is boring, and I caught myself too many times, skimming the pages to find the "good stuff."Don't get me wrong, Cell is chock-full of Mr. King's signature gory details but it's not enough to keep this reader's interest. His initial premise of the story was quite exciting but the style in which it is told gives me the impression that he had nothing better to do with his time.
Is the review positive or negative?
