One of the better of the latter day King books but, as is often the case, he seems like he loses interest before we do. ( )

Such a quick read. I'm dying to know certain things. Such as - how plausible is this? Could something like this theoretically be accomplished? How would it work? Who did it? Was it terrorists, like the characters theorized? What happened to them? What would have happened if you could have taken one of the original phoners and kept them in some kind of a medical containment room and studied them? What exactly would their body be doing to itself? Where did the Raggedy Man come from - i.e., how did the "flock" first begin to come together and form their collective hive-mind? Was someone behind that? Or are we supposed to just believe that this is some kind of Jungian collective unconscious at work? Ok, whew, I'm out of questions. But it was a nice, fast read. Though I agree with the reviewers who said it had quite a bit in common with The Stand. And funny, in real life with the swine flu scare, it seems that we've come full circle as a society, and are now more afraid of the superflu than we are of our own technology again. But this is King doing what I like to see him do most - the fast-paced scare. Only he could make cell phones that kill people anything other than laughable, even for an afternoon. ( )

What a great take on a modern zombie story. Mr. King did a great job as he usually does. The ending left one wondering if it was a happy ending or not. ( )

Great action packed horror which will keep you reading till the blurb.
