I'm only six percent in (at last count), and I have to admit - it kicked off quite well.
I don't want to do any more research into the novel until I've finished, but - going by a vague memory I believe I have, so excuse me if I'm incorrect here - this is one of the controversial titles that is like Marmite. Some like it, others don't.
I could end up disliking it myself. However, I have to give credit to its pace. It had quite an abrupt start with little build, which is an appealing technique to throw the reader in at the deep end.
For those who haven't read it, or haven't a clue what the book and its movie, for that matter, are about - it looks like it's a zombie-ish story where people act like the undead after using their mobile phones.
There's a hidden message there, if ever there was one.
Anyway, that's me picking up where I left off last autumn in my quest to read every book by King. I've now reached 2006.
Onwards I must go!
