Damn you Stephen King!!!
I finished reading Cell yesterday at school. I was taking the CST's all week so I had the book to kill some time after I finished sections of the test.
Its fuckin' A...Fucking A, man. I started it on Tuesday, finished it on Thursday. He really is the KING of literature, hence the pun ._.
he took an both the ordinary cell phone and zombie flick and made it his own
work. Pure genius. Plus he sets the mood with this book opener:
Civilization slipped into its second drak age on an unsurprising track of blood, but with a speed that could have not been foreseen by even the most pessimistic futurist. It was as if it had been waiting to go. On October 1, God was in His heaven, the stock market stood at 10,140, and most of the planes were on time (except for those landing and taking off in Chicago, and that was to be expected). Two weeks later the skies belonged to the birds again and the stock market was a memory. By Halloween, every major city from New York to Moscow stank to the empty heavens and the world as it had been was a memory.
Very unsettling and disturbing read if you ask me and the flap said it had parallels among his other works. The only one I found was the Juniper Hill Mental Hospital, the one that was in It. Never read the book though, only seen the film a good couple times.
I wanted the hardcover version...
But I got the paper back instead...
Its all an electronic leash. I don't wanna become a zombie or "phone crazy" as referred in the book. I found it sad when the one of the supporting characters died in the book, I wanted that person to live. Fifteen is no age to die.
Not gonna use my cell phone in quite awhile. And its gonna be made into a movie, direted by none other than the king of macabre and gore: Eli Roth!!! Hopefully this year and wont fuck it up. Though its gonna be very gory and it didn't have that much blood and gore and when it did, King madea good job that the image stayed with you O_O;; Its not all blow them up and run away kind of story, its a thinker.
As Pixie Dark says in the book when she recives the Pulse, "Who are you? Who am I?"
Awesome book, pick it up if you choose to....
