“Cell” by Stephen King starts out with such an incredible opening, it’s one that I’ll never forget for many years to come. Now, before I jump into my review, I just wanted to give everyone two trigger warnings for certain events that happen in this novel. There is violence against dogs as well as violence against women. If either of these triggers you while reading, please don’t read this novel.As I was saying, the chaos that kickstarted this novel was incredible as I immediately knew I was in for another treat by the king of horror. I loved how it jumped right into things and continued that moment for a good chunk of the beginning.The levels of gore, violence, and insanely descriptive mayhem were all brilliantly done. As always with King, the way he writes these crazy, horrific scenes is surreal. I will truly never look at my iPhone the same ever again thanks to this novel.I loved all the great characters here, especially the ones you meet throughout this incredible apocalyptic horror novel. The development of all these characters and just the raw, human emotions of them all as things went down were very authentic. I’d imagine if this ever happened in real life, these situations would likely be what goes down which is downright scary to think about.For the most part, this is a decent-paced novel with plenty of chapters dedicated to just telling an incredible story that pretty much revolves around a modern look at zombies. This reminded me of exactly what King did with “‘Salem’s Lot” with vampires. I couldn’t put it down and thought the pacing was solid all the way to the ending. Speaking of which, all those creepy, tense, and thrilling moments made for a rather unexpected ending.Don’t worry, I won’t ruin anything for you as I see why King ended this …

New content will be added above the current area of focus upon selection
Focusing on one main plot element can go wrong if the writer is no plotter and doesn´t construct a finetuned metaplot around the fictional device.Without the extreme problem of the suspension of disbelief, especially after the first half of the book, it would be the used interesting characterization with some horror elements, but it´s a bit Sci-Fi and dystopia too, and that ruins the whole thing. Similar to Langoliers, King can´t deal with these things and for any reason, this can even be felt in the parts that have no techno elements integrated. It´s a bit as if subconscious discomfort and nervosity reduce the quality of his writing, a curse, a quantum parasite not wanting that he tells us the truth about the universe. Stupid aliens.King had the idea to write something with this fancy new smartphones and thought it could be mixed up with some dystopian nightmare, psi stuff, survival elements, but it just doesn´t ignite, never! It´s everything, the characters behave unreliably, the explanations for how and why it happens are ridiculous, how the plot continues and finishes is …, yuck, just don´t read it. I´ve not read Cujo because of the bad reviews (sadly read this one before focusing on meta scores), but at least he doesn´t remember writing it because of being wasted and I see no similar explanation, excuse, or whatever in this case. Could also be possible that he was so invested in writing Lisey´s story that was published the same year and has personal elements in it, that he just didn´t really care about the quality of this one. It´s a special irony, because his The Stand is the masterpiece of apocalyptic literature, possibly the best one ever written, which makes this one look even worse and unnecessary. The, meanwhile, first and only derision of fans too because I can´t believe that he didn´t notice that there …

New content will be added above the current area of focus upon selection
Literary critics can moan all they want about Stephen King's "penny dreadful" oeuvre, but his mastery at the craft of storytelling is indisputable. King writes his novels like a seduction, the story unfolding delicately and deliberately. As any Stephen King fan knows, his coy expository chapters often take up the first hundred pages or more. In Cell, however, the reader is brutally dragged into the main action--unspeakable, senseless violence--within the first seven pages. Cell is by far King's most brutal, transgressive work to date.Many have compared Cell to his earlier epic, The Stand. On the surface, the novels are quite similar: an apocolyptic event threatens the very existence of the human race as a band of survivors struggle to come to terms with the carnage and avert further catastrophe. Cell, however, is the far more mature novel of the pair. The Stand was, in many ways, a novel by an idealistic youth, whereas Cell is filled with the trenchant and world-weary observations of an adult. The subtext is laden with so much chillingly apt futurist rhetoric that it is as though the author had Marshall McLuhan whispering plot devices and metaphors into his ear as he labored over his typewriter. King manages to explore several of the major sociocultural conflicts of our time, most persuasively the end of the era of individualism and the rise of collectivism, here symptomatic of heavy reliance on technology. Whereas many dystopian novels are almost comically blunt when expounding upon the dangers of collectivism, King's horrific plot and action give his metaphors a sort of subtlety that renders his subtext much more graceful and easier to stomach than the work of Ayn Rand.As the epigraphs indicate, it is also a meditation on the intrinsic violence of the human race. King clearly feels …
