So I decided to finish Cell. 
Cell is a a novel where Stephen King takes the idea of zombies and adds his own twist to it. I have mixed feelings about the novel. It seemed like I was reading some other author trying to imitate King, for the most part. At other times, it was very much a Stephen King book. Maybe he was trying to take a different direction with his writing, I don’t know. I mentioned to Candy that it seemed like the book was being written as a movie. Not that the book was in screen play format, but the story just seemed to like it would transfer to the silver screen with ease. Also it was short for a Stephen King book. Granted he wrote it in under a year, but I was expecting a more to the story, especially when I reached the end. Seeing how it is an homage to zombie movies, I guess he decided to give it a zombie movie feel.
I thought the novel was pretty good, but I was not too big on the ending. I’d recommend waiting for the paperback.
On a related note, it appears there is already a movie version in the works… according to this article.
