"Cell" 105-200

   This was the largest section that i have just sat down and read for a long time. It was mainly due to the fact that this part of the boook was very interesting.  Clay Tom and Alice decide to try and find some guns so they at least have some sort of proctection as they move north.  While they wait for night to come so they can move safely they noctice all of the crazies flocking together and moving as a flock.  They puzzle over it for awhile then move on. When night hits Clay and his crew got to Tom's neighbors house where he knows there are guns and lots of them.  They stock up on the weapons and start to head North.
   While they travel North they begin to run into more and more travelers.  They know they are okay because they have flashlights and the crazzies only come out during the day.  As they begin to talk to more and more of these people Clay and his buddies start to hear more and more about a rumor that the state boarders North are closed and anyone who tries to cross is being shot.  It concerns Clay a little but they decide to keep on their route north.  On the way they hear more and more stories from other people warning them not to go out during the day for any reason.  Or stories about how they saw a group of crazies attack and tear apart a normal person they had caught out in the daylight.
   Now toward the end of the section I read Clay, Tom, and Alice had made it to an academy where they meet a couple other people which had something very interesting to show them.  When they got the chance the headmaster of the school and one of students showed Clay and his friends a flock of crazies that were spent the night every night on the schools football and soccer fields.  With them the crazies had radios playing to comfort them almost while they slept.  Thats where I stopped and this section was by far the best part of the book so far.

"Cell" 85-105

I think I am struggling to find a book that intrests me, because I'm on my second book and nothing so far.  What is happening in the book though isn't bad or boring so far.  It has been okay and the action in the bok slowly keeps picking up.  During these pages Clay and his "crew" are travling through the city trying to get to Tom's appartment.  They are also trying as hard as they can to stay away from any of the crazies that are running rampade throughout the city.  While on the way they spot a large group of people leaving the city and heading east.  For some reason they thought it would be better to stay on their own instead of traveling with a large group for safety.  They end up making it to Tom's appartment all in one piece and without dieing.  Once they get there the group gets to meet Tom's cat Rafer and Alice becomes obsessed with a little Nike shoe.

"Cell" 70-85

Today i was really unmotivated to do anything at all.  So i didn't.  The few pages that I did read however were pretty interesting.  Clay, Tom, and Alice left the went back to the hotel for Clay's portfolio of drawings.  When Clay went back into the room hehad discovered that Mr. Ricardia had hung himself.  The three of them could believe that he actually committed suicide.  After this they decide to try and go to Tom's apartment which is less than two miles away, and they set off.

MDH- "Ain't Comin Down" Official Music Video

"Cell" Pg 50-70

Through these pages not to much happened and it was more of Clay and Tom just sitting around in the hotel they had locked themselves in.  While in the hotel they manage to make a two new friends Alice who is a little girl who followed them to the hotel, and Mr. Ricardi who is the manager of the hotel Clay had been staying at.  While inside the hotel the group talks about possible leaving the hotel and trying for a safer place to hide.  Alice points out that the crazies that are outside are easily fooled and stop chasing someone if they lose sight of that person, which works in there advantage.  That was basically it during this part nothing to dramatic.

"Hideaway" and "Cell" Pg 68-100 Pg 1-50

  During the part of the Hideaway we learn what is going on while Hatch Harrison is dead and while he is alive but unconcious.  You get to follow a demon as he goes on hunts for his next victims to kill.  I found this to be extremely weird and sometimes a bit disturbing.  This demon seems to have an obsession with killing people that remind him of anything to do with sex.  He does this because he knows that sex is what brings life to the world and he hates life.  He also focuses on women because they are the ones that bring life to the world.  After he kills the people he mutilates the bodies and brings them back with him and places them in front of the devil.  This book likes to switch back and forth between different views from different people.  So as you read about this you also get information about how Harrison is doing with his recovery since the doctors now have him stable.  They even take him out of the emergency part of the hospital and place him in a private room.  While he is in the room he regains consciousness for a short period of time but then quickly losses consciousness again.  After reading some of how the demon picks his victims and how well Dean Koontz discribes everything for his reader I decided to switch to a different book.
  The book I decided to begin reading was "Cell" by Stephen King.  By the second page of this book there is already some pretty exciting things going on.  You meet the main  character whose name is Clay, and the setting of this book takes place in Boston.  When you meet Clay he is just leaving a shop where he bought a gift for his wife and he gets into line to grab some ice cream.  While waiting in line he begins to hear screaming but he doesn't think a thing of it because he believes that they are just screams of happy people in the park.  As his focus goes back to the ice cream he notices the people in front of him taking on their cell phones, and then everything goes to hell.  The people who were talking on their cell phones begin to go nuts and try to kill whatever they can.  Clay is stunned and doesn't know quite what to do.  He runs into someone who isn't nuts and his name is Tom.  Clay and Tom stay together as they try to find a place to hide from all the freaks running around going nuts.  They finally take refuge in the hotel that Clay had been staying in. So far this book has been pretty good.
