Negative Positive
Title: Goes Nowhere
Review: Sometimes Stephen writes like he has no idea where the plot is going. I got this feeling from Gunslinger after just 3 books and now with Cell. If it were the first in a series he might find his way but he gave up on this one too soon. Part of the problem is that the Pulse is a world-wide phenomenon and a few "normies" aren't going to solve such a problem no matter what the cause, a cause that he leaves completely unknown. Even the subplots go unanswered, unlike Dome, where it's a local and therefore solvable crisis, complete with all his witty observations on human character which he's good at. Anyway, a bit of a disappointment unless he finishes it up with a second novel.
Is the review positive or negative?
