What a really awful book. Stephen King has definitely gone down hill in his writing skills as he had gotten older. He said a couple times that he was going to quit writing and he certainly should have before writing this book. The story starts with an interesting scenario, cell phones wipe human brains clean (like a hard drive), but then he doesn't know where to take it from there. It becomes totally convoluted and silly (stupid actually) after a while. I forced myself to finish the book, but I couldn't help but skim the last couple hundred pages. I highly recommend readers avoid anything written by Stephen King in the past ten or fifteen years. Certainty avoid this monstrosity.
