asked:
Was anyone else extremely disappointed that the reason for the cell phone call was never explained? I was actually angry at the end...

Actually I find it interesting. Usually the reader knows the whole background of the story. Or, at least, he knows much more than the characters in the book. In "Cell" the reader knows as little as the characters - pretty much nothing. I was feeling like a member of the company, not knowing what the big picture is, how strong the enemy actually is.
Harrison Gourlay
YES! I kept waiting for that to be explained.....it was like when my dad said he was getting milk. That was 12 years ago.
John Huntington
It felt like it was a part 1
Jeffrey De Guzman
Felt the same when i finished the book, but i got over it and really appreciated the cliff hanger ending and i think clay's son rebooted back to normal
Melody Kemble
Yes, I was ok with the ending on how it ended but not explaining how the cells became glitched to begin with.
Chaundra

I liked the cliffhanger ending to the book and like someone else said here I felt I was part of what Clay and the rest of the characters were going thru since I did not know how this whole thing happened and just trying to survive.

I felt his not explaining the reason was Stephen being true to the Zombie genre.

I actually thought since my copy was old that it was missing a page, until I encountered this book brand new and realised it really was a total BS ending.
Dawnie
Right? How can he write a book of that length and then not explain the reason behind the entire story? Good to know that i was not the only one that could not find the reason for it! I thought i might have overlooked it or something like that. I also did not really like the ending itself. I kept thinking I missed something.

It's been awhile since I've read this book. My question is, do you mean why it started...like why the cells started doing the thing that flipped everyobes switch? I do remember that it was explained how it happened, how the cells were triggered to "reboot" the brain so to say. Or is it a different call your talking about, that I can't remember. I am going to reread this.
