King Me!
I finished reading Cell, and enjoyed it, despite being puzzled why Stephen King felt the need to write The Stand Lite. I was expecting something different at the end, based on the way the flocks were developing and the dream-premonitions. It's legitimate to call the flock-killers insane. They're mass murderers. The phoners were getting more human every day. My guess was that some cosmic power set out to upgrade humanity--empathy, telepathy and telekinesis are pretty nice--and considered the messy transition just a convenient way to weed out the weak. Final product: a unified world ready to join the rest of universe. If not for those meddling kids.
Good news: there are presumably many more flocks across the world; maybe one of them will finish evolving and bring about utopia.
(As if it wasn't obvious, I generally thought the whole "program/worm" theory was just bunk.)
This is the first new Stephen King I've read in a while. This sounds cliche, but I still find I enjoy his stuff proportional to how long ago he wrote it.
