Anybody read this one? Randy, I know you were reading it at a point. Did you ever finish it?
King seems good at coming up with a premise, I've just always been disappointed with his endings (The Stand, the first Dark Tower book). I noticed from reading reviews that many were unhappy with the ending of this book.

Here's the Wikipedia summary....

"The novel begins on October 1st. Clayton Riddell is a struggling young artist who has finally caught a break, which is good news for him, his estranged wife and their young son, Johnny: he has come to Boston and landed a major comic book deal with Dark Horse Comics that promises a hefty paycheck and the real possibility that he can go from teaching art to making it.

He feels a little celebration is in order as he triumphantly returns from the Dark Horse meeting to his hotel. With his wife's gift already in hand, Clay decides to treat himself to some ice cream in the Boston Common. As he waits in line at an ice cream truck, Clay's life, and the life of every human on Earth, changes forever: Somebody, somewhere, triggers "The Pulse", a signal sent out over the global cell-phone network which instantly strips any cell-phone user of their reason and humanity, locking them into a merciless homicidal frenzy. In a matter of minutes, civilization crumbles as the masses of "phoner" victims begin attacking each other and any unaltered normals in view."
