About this listen

 The next call you take could be your last in this terrifying #1 New York Times bestseller by master storyteller Stephen King!

On October 1, God is in His heaven, the stock market stands at 10,140, most of the planes are on time, and graphic artist Clayton Riddell is visiting Boston, having just landed a deal that might finally enable him to make art instead of teaching it. But all those good feelings about the future change in a hurry thanks to a devastating phenomenon that will come to be known as The Pulse.

The delivery method is a cell phone—everyone’s cell phone. Now Clay and the few desperate survivors who join him suddenly find themselves in the pitch-black night of civilization’s darkest age, surrounded by chaos, carnage, and a relentless human horde that has been reduced to its basest nature...and then begins to evolve.

There’s really no escaping this nightmare. But for Clay, an arrow points the way home to his family in Maine, and as he and his fellow refugees make their harrowing journey north, they begin to see the crude signs confirming their direction. A promise of a safe haven, perhaps, or quite possibly the deadliest trap of all…©2006 Stephen King. All rights reserved.; (P)2006 Simon & Schuster, Inc. All rights reserved.

Not King's best work, but still entertaining. Decided to listen for some nostalgia, had the hard cover when I was younger. Doesn't blow you away, but it's an interesting twist on the zombie-story.

Not bad, not amazing. Still entertaining.

Stephen kings cell was so well written I absolutely struggled to put It down, the details and just the writing keeps you hooked.

I absolutely sobbed when alice died
The whole book was a bunch of chaos but the best kind each death left me heartbroken definitely would recommend to anyone who wants to get into stephen king.
I feel this book should of been way longer but that may just of been me.

The details for each character /what they were doing was *chefs kiss*
"Survival is like like love both are blind"

for some reason there aren't proper chapters. The author reads out the chapters but there will be 6 chapters all stuck together. I was surprised by how much this messed me up

why no chapters?

If the narrator wasn't so dead Pan it would be more interesting. Also the main character is the most dull character in the entire book the side characters are more interesting.

It could Be more interesting
