Okay, so it isn't EXACTLY zombies, but it's still pretty close. I have read it about 3 times (yeah, I love it that much), and to me, it just never really got boring. Still, to thoroughly enjoy it, you might want to have a basic interest in psychology and things of that sort, because it has a lot of that, as well as theory on the so-called "Phone People." Though, personally, being the... creepy kid I am, I found it hardly scary, but thats what I thought of all of King's other works. But if you like a more intelligent quasi-zombie read, this is for you.
