I hated Cell with a deep passion. I can't tell you why I didn't trash it while reading the junk story but for some miracle I labored through it and finished the worse novel I have ever read; and to think I spend money on it too. 
During mid year, I have The Stand scheduled (I have a book list in order per year) for my reading enjoyment. It's a big sucker too- many pages. But I can't wait to get on it. All say it is his best but I want to see if it tops the Dark Tower series. Those are my favorite.
