The Cell did what most recent King (horror- as I am not counting The Dark Tower series) novels have been doing for a long time. They start off with ferocity. You get interested. It's good. It's going. Finally, it's the end of the book aaaaannnddd....it's total shit. Total shit.
So, to put it another way, I thought The Cell was really great at first, but ended really bad. Desperation was the same way. It started with good creepy vibe, but got dumber and dumber as the pages turned.
Urge, if you see this, what bugged you about Salem's Lot? I'm curious, because I liked that book as well. I want to see if the things that bothered you bothered me too.
