Cell by Stephen King
2.0

Honestly, not the best book I've ever read. I picked it up because with all of the conspiracies going around right now, I thought it might be a fun read. However, I found the story to drag a bit. The plot was okay, I wouldn't say good but just okay. The vulgarity was childish. Almost like a child who has found himself alone with the ability to try out cursing and vulgar phrases without the presence of an adult. Overly excited. Forced. Cringy. Too eager to use too often. I'm also not a huge fan of the very detailed descriptions of gore. That is of course a personal opinion. It was just a lot. Looking forward to my next read just to get the taste of this one out of my brain. Two stars was the highest I could give.

I've seen a lot of people talk about the fact that he ended the book in a way that seems as though it will have a sequel, but I disagree. I think it's one of those "let the reader decide" kind of endings though that didn't make me any more of a fan either. An unfortunate read, really. If you want to read it, more power to you.
