Negative Positive
Title: Disappointing, slow, plodding "wanna-be" zombie novel.
Review: In the forward of King's new novel CELL, he dedicates it to the great George A. Romero and I AM LEGEND novelist Richard Matheson.That is where the mention of the trio in the same sentence should stop.This is just a "MESS" of a book. I am not sure where to even begin.Let me first start of by saying, that the "zombies" in King's story are NOT zombies. As a matter of fact, they have the ability of telepathy.Yes, you heard correctly I said: TELEPATHY!They don't eat human flesh, they eat twinkies and veggies.Character developement in the book follows the same silly premise.King attempts to compare the human brain to a desktop computer and his knowledge of a computer is child-like.Finally, the book is just plain BORING. Don't waste your time.
