Ben Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 I was quite disappointed with the ending too - does anybody else think there should be a sequel? I thought about that, would be interesting.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Library Nook Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 That would be good, that's what I like about these types of novels- the what happens next part. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weave Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 I enjoyed 'Cell' but I did think the ending was a bit too convenient Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owen Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 I enjoyed 'Cell' but I did think the ending was a bit too convenient QFT, that kind of sums up the very disappointing ending. Great book, naff finish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rawr Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 Yeah i really would like to see a sequel actually, which is a tribute to King and the novel though he doesn't do sequels as such so i'm sure we won't get one for Cell, kinda annoying though >:l Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geordie9 Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 excellent book, the artwork for the movie has just been released. John Cusack is playing the lead role of Clay. I just hope they dont change it too much Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobblybear Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 I really loved the beginning of the book, but I gradually lost interest. I can't even remember how it ends. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timstar Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 This was the first King book I ever read, and though it is far from his best, it was good enough to get me hooked on King. Looking forward to the film Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UnderTheDome40 Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 The basis of King's latest offering is The Pulse - a signal sent through cell phones, that drives the listener insane. What this leads to is most of the world's population becoming 'zombie-like'.. in my eyes, it was just a different way to resurrect an old story line. King throws you straight into the story, and the beginning of the book is full of action. The rest of the book certainly continues to be a page turner.. it's an easy read. But.. that's the problem.. that's not what I expect from King. There's no real depth in the characters, and I don't find myself particularly concerned about what's going to happen to them. There's no build up of tension, no real fear. Don't get me wrong.. it's a good enough read, and I'm sure many people will like it. However, it's just not classic "King". @ The Boss!, I actually found your review to be absolutely & flawlessly spot-on accurate... At least in my opinions of the book Cell. It wasn't classic horror to come from him, it really felt like a story you would get from somebody else. I'm not sure who, maybe James Herbert or Bentley Little. Just didn't feel much like King's style at all but then again, i've read A LOT of King novels and that wasn't the first to feel unusually different or uncommon to the rest of his books. I got the same feeling with The TommyKnockers & The Running Man.. Just felt like I was reading another authors story the whole way through. But you're right, it wasn't bad either.
