CELL


"CELL" by Stephen King
Seems to me SK is upset that so many people today use cell phones. As a result he writes a book in which all the people that have a cell phone become crazy and zombie-like when they receive a signal on their cell phone ("a Pulse") at exactly the same time.

Sure the book does have a hero, Clay, who interestingly enough does not own a cell phone and goes on to destroy all the "phone crazies".

The book was kind of slow in the uptake and flattened out in a couple of parts. I do not believe this was one of his best books.
