5.0 out of 5 stars Horror, Obsestion and Murder...... A Car???, 5 Sep 2002
This review is from: Christine (Paperback)
Being a big fan of the film, I thought it quite neccassary that I read the book. Shocking.
The word passion springs to mind and that is pretty much what the book is about, a nasty little love triangle between Arnie, Christine and Leigh Cabot.
The film does the book no justice and I for one have now read the book twice and am still thrilled at the prospect of reading it again. My advice to anyone who feels that they should read it is: Book a week off work, listen to some 50s - 60s music and ENJOY!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars 1958 red Plymouth Fury, 2 Feb 2010
By Dave Gilmour's cat (on Dave Gilmour's boat) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Christine (Paperback)
Excellent, scary book. In some ways, it's as much about youth and identity as a haunted car. King excels with brilliant pacing, genuinely compelling writing and the sort of authorial voice that makes writing look effortless and forces you to keep reading.

5.0 out of 5 stars Stephen King At His Best in Thrilling Car Horror Tale., 28 Dec 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Christine (Paperback)
Christine is certainly one of the most well-conceived horror books ever written. Set in late- seventies America, it tells of the obsession of a teenage boy called Arnie who, being a social dropout and having only one true friend, turns to a rusted old 1958 Plymouth Fury. However it isn't long before the car's dead owner comes to haunt Arnie, his only friend, Dennis and his girlfriend , Leah. Dennis' and leah's lives are turned upside down as they attempt to rescue Arnie from the crazed grip of the car's supernatural power. Gripping from start to finish this is another excellent horror tale from Stphen King.
