This is out in paperback now. I picked it up last week. The plot really can't be deciphered from reading the back so I picked it up not really knowing much about the plot other than it had something to do with a cell phones.
In a nutshell the story centers around a signal that is sent through cell phones world wide. Anyone who uses their phone (and hears the "pulse" as it's called) basically turns into a raving,homocidal lunatic. Seeing how cell phones are so prevalent in our society the world quickly goes to hell in a handbasket. The book charts some non-cell phone survivors and their story as they fight against this growing army of "phone-crazies". That's as far as I'll go with the plot for anyone reading or planning to read this book.
I never usually read book quickly. I'll pick up a book I'm reading whenever I get the spare time but I never usually make time for reading. This book was different. It grabs you in the first few pages and almost compells you foward with it's different plot threads and comples evolving story. I could hardly put this book down and read it in only a few sessions.
Just finishing it in the wee hours of the morning today I felt let down. I didn't feel as though there was resolution of the plot. Many unanswered questions left me feeling unsatisfied and the feeling like the book was unfinished.
Did anyone else read this and do you feel the same?
