I'm an on-and-off fan of Stephen King. Some of the best stuff he ever wrote was early on in his career (Rage, The Long Walk, The running Man, collected under the Bacman Books) and although his writing improved technically, I don't think the heart of it did.

In fact, I think some of it got worse, and King seems to repeat himself sometimes (The Regulators, Desperation). Still, it's nowhere near as bad as Eddings, so I'll leave off.

Cell features zombies (can't fucking resist 'em), an enemy King has only brushed by in his prior works. One day, everyone's cell phone rings, and those in a position to, answer it. They become zombies. Those who don't, live on.
Now, the majority of people do, so we're confronted with a zombie epidemic and an apocalyptic America, like The Stand.

Hope I can buy this soon and find out if it's any cop. It's also being adapted into a film, directed by Eli Roth. I thought Cabin Fever was a good laugh, and Hostel was passable, so he better not fuck up a zombie flick.
