As always, Stephen King brings to life a colorful cast of characters and immerses you in a setting so rich, you'll swear you were there. This and his gift for storytelling are what make me return to his books. That being said, "Cell" wasn't my favorite. It certainly kept my attention, and I eagerly turned the pages, but I'm not a huge fan of apocalyptic stories. I prefer more classic King horror. Unfortunately, the end was unsatisfying--left too much unanswered. But overall a solid read. Most King fans will enjoy it.
