I've read it and liked it a lot. So far it's one of my favorite books by King. :3 Made me kinda scared of cell phones for a while, haha.

I have never read a book by Stephen King, so I can't really help you. Sorry!

I started reading it a few months ago because, honestly, I had to read something for school and there was nothing else in the house.
For me, what I read of it just reiterated why I hate Stephen King's writing. xD

I have read a lot of Stephen King but don't really like the new stuff as much.
I'll have to try this one.

I still haven't read much of it, and I wouldn't call it his best work, but it's good. My favorite book by him so far would have to be The Stand.

I've read it. It was okay, although I generally prefer traditional zombies. I kind of feel like Stephen King takes a decent concept and then pushes it farther than it can go, and that happened in this book as well. Of course, his characterization is always good enough to carry you through, but the dreams and such kept jarring my willful disbelief. I did like the ending, though. It's been a few months since I've read it, and I still think about it sometimes, so that must say something.

I really liked 'Cell' as with any of his other books XD
personally I thought it got crazier and more complicated the further along it got.
Still a good read, not really 'cuddle up under the bed' but very fun.

Cell was actually really good.
I'd never really read Stephen King before, until I read Cell. I'm more of a James Herbert girl, being British and all. :]

I hated the end tho, it was awesome, it just got left way too open and I spent weeks trying to decide what happens after. xD

I haven't read Cell yet, but I will soon.

I just love the way Stephen King writes. He has such a way of bringing out the characters and making them seem real. Sometimes too real... I remember throwing one book across the room because he killed off somebody that I had gotten to liking.

He does that a LOT.

Like in Pet Semetary... I remember thinking "No, I can't believe you're going to kill off xxx... you can't *do* that!" (xxx...I don't want to give a spoiler)

I read Cell and enjoyed it. I was wondering what it was going to be like because I'd seen very mixed reviews on it, but I like all his books so it didn't disappoint. The ending was left a bit wide open but I don't regret buying it. I enjoy how he writes about the dynamic between people, his sub-plots are what make him a pleasure to read, I think.

Cell is the ONLY Stephen King book I have read. And... I loved it. I'm considering reading more, but time will tell. I love the ending, by the way. :)

Oh, I definatly recommend you read more of his books. IT was absolutely wonderful, as well as Rose Madder. Anything by him is good. I'd recommend his short stories, too.
