Search - Christine

Basically, 'Christine' is about a possessed car. You don't own Christine. She owns you. In the book she owns the main character, Arnie Cunningham, a shy, geeky kid with not so nice looks. But then things turn around for him. Once he gets Christine, his pimply face clears up, his confidence is better and he becomes popular. He even ends up dating the prettiest cheerleader in the school. Arnie loves Christine. He'll do anything for her and no one should stand between him and his beloved car. But, later on in the book, of course, nothing goes without punishment and nothing goes without paying off dues. When Arnie got the car he, in a way gave up his soul. So now Christine controls him. Form then on the book is full of suspense and murder. I recommend this book to anyone who is interested in a good suspenseful and mysterious scare. The book is set up by not telling you the whole story piece by piece. It leaves you questioning what will happen next, which makes it even more suspenseful and scary. Stephen King does a good job in this book. What could easily have been a cheesy story of an evil car on a killing spree is instead a story of obsession, possession and the past of crimes that haunt the car forever.

Just dumb.

One of the older Stephen King novels. A good read.

Christine is no lady, but 17-year-old Arnie Cunningham loves her enough to do ANYTHING to posses her. Arnie's best friend Dennis distrusts her at first sight. Arnie's teen queen girlfriend fears her the moment she senses her power. Arnie's parents, teachers and enemies soon learns what happens when you cross her. Christine is no lady. She is Stephen King's ultimate, blackly evil vehicle of horror...

i watched the movie so i read the book i thought the movie was better.

Typical stephen King. I'll never be able to know what it's like to have these stories running through my own head.

A good read, a little tediouse in detail which is usual for King.

Creepy car that turns monsterous. King at his best.

A possessed car, a teen geek, and vintage King writing.

Another good book by Stephen King, even if it is one of his earlier works.

Christine is no lady. She is the ultimate, blackly evil vehicle of horror.

classic stephen king before you got sick of him. Almost as good as salems lot.
