Cell

"Cell" is a horror novel written by Stephen King. At first it seemed like a promising-enough read, however, towards the end the plot became increasingly dull and I dislike the ending in particular because it's too abrupt and inconclusive.

A comic artist from Maine named Clayton Riddell had just sold his first successful comic as well as striking a graphic novel deal and was joyfully strolling through Boston, delighted at his good fortune.However, little did he know that soon something (something terrible) would completely alter his and the rest of mankind's life forever. Suddenly,without warning, a deadly electronic signal transferred by cell phones which later becomes known as "The Pulse" was sent out to every single mobile phone. Instantaneously, all cell phone users were reduced to vicious, utterly insane,merciless, bloodthirsty, zombie-like creatures that are impervious to pain and even incapable of comprehensible speech.

Chaos and carnage reigned as the "phone-crazies" started targeting any innocent, normal people and each other as well! Clay was fortunate enough to end his first encounter with one of the mental pulse victims unharmed and teamed up with two other survivors, Alice Maxwell and Tom McCourt. In addition, Clay's also extremely concerned about the fate of his family. What if his son, Johnny, had become one those dreadful, ruthless monsters? Or his wife Sharon? Or what if they hadn't been transformed into "phone-crazies" but has been brutally murdered instead? Each day, Clay's anxiety and fear for his beloved ones grows. Their world has become a place where they have to use violence against violence. The survivors must fight to survive or else perish (or suffer some other horrible end). Although their chances are slim, death is not inevitable.
