Title: Disappointing
Review: It seems that the idea for the story was never fully fleshed out. King came up with an interesting situation - cell phones turning all of Western civilization into zombies - but when it came time to explain the conditions causing the situation, he was unable to produce anything more creative than a scary (and entirely implausible) computer program. The first half of the book moves along at a good clip when King's describing the carnage and immediate fallout of the cellphone conversion, but starts to drag badly when he tries to peek behind the curtain to discover what's causing the apocalypse.As a bonus, you'll get a healthy dose of left-wing opinion as King slings thinly veiled insults at the Bush administration, oil companies, and the traditional nuclear family. Thanks, Steve-O, but that's really not why I read your stuff.Too many loose ends and a terrible conclusion. Borrow it from the library, 'cause this isn't one you'll want to own.
