Cell by Stephen King (2006)

I haven't read this yet -- it's set aside for my vacation. But my sister just raved about it -- I HAD to get it. Apparently it's about terrorists breaking into cell phones and contaminating people (especially young people) by their cell phones. Sounds plausible, which is what I like about Stephen King -- it's believable science fiction. It could happen.

can't really write a review for this book as I got it for a friend as a gift.

I bought this book on a recommendation from a friend who has the same affinity for zombie movies and books. Great writing, full of descriptions that really paint a picture. Starts out with a lot of action and keeps it up. The ending will make you want to scream but in a funny way.

I love this book. It's better than The Stand - my former favorite Stephen King novel. I have been looking forward to reading The Cell since hearing Stephen King speak last year. He was talking about getting ideas for books and talked about how he was standing outside a Boston hotel and watching a lady talk on a cell phone and thought - what would happen if she suddenly went crazy? What would happen if everyone in the world with a cell phone suddenly went crazy?

Oh, it's a delicious thing to think about. And Stephen King's narrative is hypnotic. He's a master storyteller and I didn't want to put the book down for days - and I'm still leery about picking up my cell phone.

Now, weeks later, I'm having dreams and phone-crazies and proteting my family from them. It's powerful stuff, gets into your psyche. I'm still thinking about the characters.

The price was just super as was the shipping. The condition is perfect and his rating is great so made me feel secure as a first itme buyer at this store.

This book is a great book. I love the fact that it is about how cell phones ruin the human race. It isn't his greatest work but it is a great book. I would recommend it.

i like that this is an excellent read i was kind of weary at first until my mom convinced me into it i decided to buy it because my mom as well as myself like stephen king

The whole book kept me on the edge of my seat just like Stephen King usually does . That's why i bought it to begin with i love his books and am trying to get the ones i don't have now. This one is leans toward today with all the cell phones in use and give you the horror twist to it . How can cell phones cause the end of the world .....Read the book and you will see.

Paid a little more then I wanted on the item, but overall it was worth it. Good book, highly recommended to buy. I read it nonstop for about 2-3 days.

This book was not only another Stephen King masterpiece, it was also one that got me seriously thinking. I highly recommend it to any Stephen King fan.

I'm a big Stephen King fan and have read many, many of his books. This is the first one, however that I just could not stop thinking about. It's disturbing from the begining and doesn't slow down. I was slightly dsappointed by the ending of the book. It felt abrubpt and out of place.
Overall it was a great read -- quite disturbing and fast-paced. I would recommend it, along with any other King book you can get your hands on.

I bought the book because I really like zombie/end of world stories. The book started off great but in true Stephen King fashion nothing is explained in any sort of believable way and the ending was a letdown. If you like zombies books read Rising by Briane Keene instead.

Very good read, but has shades of the Stand to its pages. Instead of Captain Trips we have the Cell Phone...but all in all still a excellant read. It will join my collection of Stephen King books.

I like the fact that I can find good books on line that I can afford. I hate to spend a bunch of money on a book that I might not like. I choose A Stephen King book because I like his writings.
This book turned out to be a really good read. It had a nice plot, and was fairly exciting to read. As with all of Stephen King's books, this one has a twist to it that you would never guess.

I thought it was a pretty good book. I keeps you interested and turning pages for sure. This was the first book I read by Stephen King and have to say although it was good, I was still a little disappointed. I guess I was just expecting more.

I bought this book because I wanted to read it and I like Stephen King a lot. I haven't read all of this book but what I've read the book is very interesting. I got this book for a good price.

I bought this for a literature class i took this summer and it ended up being my favorite out of the books we had to read for the class.

it was a book i have been wanting. it was a good price so i bid on it. i'am very happy and will be watching e-bay for other deals i would like to bid on other things to sell at a flea market. thank you e-bay for all your help. i really liked the book and again it was a good deal. i was really impressed with the shipping it didn't take long at all. and the book was in excellent shape.

I was please in the conditions of the book & the delivery time. I would deal with the contact again.

YES, YES, YES!!!

The MOST frightening thing I've read since Dean Koontz's "Watchers"!
THIS is the kind of novel I enjoy and I enjoy movies of the same type.

Barring these (which are so few and far between), you will see me reading true-life cases; you can watch me any night of the week watching forensic, pathology and cold case shows. I know serial killers better than they know themselves!

What makes them all so TERRIFYING is that they could happen! This is a case in point...

Great novel, just great. A beautiful day in the neighborhood - and then everyone and anyone who had contact with a cell phone goes bonkers. Doesn't everyone, every kid, every single DOG have a cell these days??

A simple code (highly possible) sent via satellite and they are all either eating each others' throats out, committing suicide or, the lucky ones who HAD no cell are running for cover!

I won't even go into it, there's no need. The characters are as fleshed-out as they need to be to fight this kind of fight and they all have their normal human fallabilities as well as their extreme heroism.

A FABULOUS, FRIGHTENING read, I recommend it highly if you like this sort of literature! King at his best - hard to say THAT since he is so OFTEN at his best!

READ IT!!

The King of Weird creeps us out again with this new bestseller. All hell breaks loose one afternoon when people’s cell phones start ringing. You simply won’t believe what mankind is capable of and who (or what) is pulling the strings. But not everyone is affected, including Clay Riddell who didn’t have a cell phone that day. Clay desperately wants to find his family, especially his son, which he sets out to do with naïve hope and unyielding resolve. He picks up a few stragglers along the way and together they take on an inconceivable force. The action starts on the very first page, so be prepared for a wild ride from the very beginning. And remember - don’t answer the phone.

Ths was a page turner of a book! A twisted plot! This will make you think every time you use a cell phone. We're too dependent on these things.

This was vintage King, it was scary, surprising, creepy, right up to the end, which was completly unfulfilling. Very disappointing. Great all through and then, dump....

Classic King, great suspense, lots of interaction between characters. As usual, will keep you guessing and wondering as to what is going to happen next.

If you have a cell phone, you need to read this book. I guarantee, if you read this book, you will jump the next time your cell rings.
