There's a reason cell rhymes with hell.
On October 1st, God is in His heaven, the stock market stands at 10,140, most of the planes are on time, and Clayton Riddell, an artist from Maine, is almost bouncing up Boylston Street in Boston. He's just landed a comic book deal that might finally enable him to support his family by making art instead of teaching it. He's already picked up a gift for his long-suffering wife, and he knows just what he'll get for his boy Johnny. Why not a little treat for himself? Clay's feeling good about the future.
That changes in a hurry. The cause of the devastation is a phenomenon that will come to be known as The Pulse, and the delivery method is a cell phone. Everyone's cell phone. Clay and the few desperate survivors who join him suddenly find themselves in the pitch-black night of civilization's darkest age, surrounded by chaos, carnage, and a human horde that has been reduced to its basest nature...and then begins to evolve.
There are one hundred and ninety-three million cell phones in the United States alone. Who doesn't have one? Stephen King's utterly gripping, gory, and fascinating novel doesn't just ask the question "Can you hear me now?" It answers it with a vengeance.

Is awesome a good enough word to describe this book? I can't think of anything else at the moment so I will make one up right now, "scrumtrulensent". I really think this would make an incredible movie if the job were put in the right hands.

This is one of the better books that Stephen King has written in a few years. However, the plot was somewhat reminiscent of The Stand. I liked the characters and thought the narrator did a good job of giving them a voice. While the story was suspenseful, I was disappointed the question of "who" and "why" was not fully answered. I also, thought the ending was weak. Overall though, a pretty good read.

Stephen King, master story teller has done it again. From disc one you will be captivated by what you've heard.
I'm not going to go into the details of the story because I don't want to be a spoiler, but I can pretty much guarantee you'll enjoy this book.
Narration was excellant as well!
