[quote="Ebil"]I'm reading Stephen King - Cell [quote]

Cell's decent, especially for a quick read or thrill fix. Most King fan's agreed that it was a letdown in that the scope of the story was too small for the idea ... it had the potential to be as big as The Stand, but it ended up being rather short, with only a few major event. Overall though, it's a good read. He really sells the characters, so evne if you find the ending to be a little anticlimactic, it's still worthwhile.

Lisey's Story on the other hand, I thouroughly enjoyed, even though the plot closed off a little abruptly. I'd recommend that one as one of his average to better books. But if you liked Cell and have the stamina, try The Stand. 1200 pages of post apocalyptic struggling. One of my first King books and one of the best. Honestly though, I'd try reading the original, abridged version if you can find it (hunt around used book stores). Cuts about 300 pages of stuff that, while intersting, kind of logs the momentum down.
