Cell

Hello, guys, the plot of this book is The Stand. Just about exactly. This is why this book did not get five stars from me. It's another of Stephen King's “I've run out of new ideas so I will recycle old ones” books.

However, that aside? It's still a pretty damned good book. Again King's incredible skill for character-building shines brightly; the main character was definitely relatable and his driving need to find his son above all else was heartrending at times.

The idea behind the plot – that cellphones can be used to wipe out the “hard drives” of our brains – is definitely something to put you in a nervous mood around your own phone!

My one qualm with this is that it doesn't actually end – King leaves it up to the reader to decide if good things happen or if bad things happen. I'm such a pessimist that my own choice at the end makes it a depressing book! Haha. Kudos to King for another entertaining read.
