Books of 2006, Part 2: Cell

Cell

by Stephen King

While not as bold and original as The Stand, King's return to the "end of the world" genre is still worth a read. As a long time fan, King has rarely disappointed me and Cell works on many creepy levels and from now on I will never look at my mobile phone in the same way.

While he said he wanted to retire, my guess is now that King meant retiring just from the many connections his novels were to the Dark Tower Universe. Free from that, I'm guessing he'll put out a book or two a year (whill have a new one out in October).

And then there's his articles in Entertainment Weekly, which are always interesting.
