A three for me. Not overly impressed.

I know I'm in the minority, but this is one of my favorites from King in the last decade. I give it a 5.
Margaret Emmie Mackey Catoe, you are, have been, and always will be my soulmate, and I love you.

I give it a three but only barely. The Stand and Dawn of the Dead didn't need to be made into a single entity.
a three, for the same reason. "The Stand" part was good, but the first half was soooooooo boring...Originally Posted by Kronz

When one is in agreement with bears one is always correct. (mae)
bears are back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Another 4 for me, good but not great!
Yay! A recent King book I actually liked. I give it a 4.
I'm sure if there is intelligent life somewhere out there in the universe, they are wise enough to stay away from us.
And the people bowed and prayed, to the cell phone god they made...
Meh.
I don't remember a "The Stand" part. But, when I read Cell I had not yet read "The Stand". 4 from me.a three, for the same reason. "The Stand" part was good, but the first half was soooooooo boring...

Between 3 and 4, but I went with 3.
The similarities with The Stand are mostly the regrouping of society after the end of the world, but more specifically the way the humans are all drawn by dreams to their destiny.I don't remember a "The Stand" part. But, when I read Cell I had not yet read "The Stand". 4 from me.a three, for the same reason. "The Stand" part was good, but the first half was soooooooo boring...
one of my favs!!!!
I like it. Not sure if it could have been longer or shorter.
There is some great stuff in it though, especially when they get to the college stadium.
Surprised people wanted such a definitive ending, i liked that it was open ended.
I gave it a 5. I really liked this one.
A true firewasp ninja would never wear such a ridiculous sweater.
There's logic in nonsense.
Give me all the bacon and eggs you have.
I gave it a meh
Buddy, you think you look strong? You’re wearing a cape.
A 4 for me, best of the NEW books.
meh
2. I was disappointed. It felt too gimmicky, relying on cell-phones as the big bad, and I feel it's a story that won't age well.
4. I liked it.
