Cell

This is the first Stephen King book I've managed to finish in a long time. Of course, my all time favorite is The Dark Tower series. Intrigued by the idea of cell phones turing people into zombies, I had to get this one. However, what I thought this was going to be about and what it ended up being are two different things. Yes, this book is about how a single call changed the way people look at communications over a cell phone. But in my head I wanted to see how the world coped in this new zombified world. And King didn't deliver that story. Instead, he turned it into one man's journey to find his son and understand what may or may not have taken hold of him. Even at the end, I found the book a bit open ended for my tastes and didn't leave me with answers to the questions I wanted. I even read this one in a few hours, so it's a quick read too. This book helps boost my goal of reading more fiction than non-fiction.

Is it possible to enjoy the way a person writes but not the stories they write? This became interesting to me a little over half-way through with thr mutations, but didn't keep my interest. Well written, but not an interesting story to me. Perhaps I'm not a fan of zombie-type apocolypse stories though as I wasn't a fan of the last few I read either.
