Actually, I though Cell was kind of a The Stand rip off which tells you how far Kings fallen when he has to start plagiarising his own books for ideas. I was going to recommend The Stand in my choices above but I feel it's a bit too long and could have done with some better editing, although I do own the unabridged version so that might be a bit of an unfair comment.

And for anyone else unfamiliar with his work if you fancy something different I recommend you also check out King when he's on a bit of a fantasy/science fiction tip by reading the wonderful Eyes of the Dragon and also the Dark Tower series
