You can buy Cell on Amazon and at all good bookshops. But having read the mammoth-sized novels The Stand and Under The Dome both by King, I would have loved Cell to be of that length.Ĭell is an absolutely excellent read. Cell is a total of 473 pages, meaning it is about the average size of a novel. My only criticism of Cell was that it was too short. I read this book in just a few days, despite being exceptionally busy. The thrilling plot was utterly riveting from the first word until the last. The description was clear and concise, enabling the reader to imagine scenes perfectly – adding suspense. The characters were likeable, had depth and the reader comes to care about them. The flocks know who Clay and his comrades are and what they did.Ĭan Clay reach home? And if so, what will be the fate of his wife and son?
They later learn that the flocks have a shared intelligence and communicate through telepathy. The zombie-like people come out during the day, but disappear at night.Ĭlay and crew destroy a flock resting at night. First they start to flock, all drawn together and moving in certain patterns. Tom joins him.Ĭlay and Tom are first joined by Alice, a 15 year old girl and later by Jordan, a scholarship student from a private school.Ĭlay and crew start to see changes in the zombie-like people’s behaviour. He has to hope that this was the case when The Pulse struck and that somehow his wife survived the proceeding chaos and attacks. They join together to survive chaos and attacks.Ĭlay is adamant that he must get home to find out what has happened to his wife and son.Ĭlay’s son has a mobile phone, but it’s usually under his bed. Minutes after The Pulse, Clay meets Tom, a gay man. He is away from home and just out of an important meeting when the pulse strikes.
They become zombie-like and start attacking those who didn’t have a mobile phone and therefore weren’t affected.Ĭlay is a young artist who has just made his big break. In Cell at 3:03pm on the 1st of October a Pulse is emitted that is transmitted to everyone with a mobile phone. Cell by the remarkable Stephen King is an addictive read, which is a must read to anyone who likes disaster stories or zombie stories.
