Pros: Great story, great writing. Cons: Probably didn't need to be quite as long as it is.
In the afterword to his four-novella collection DIFFERENT SEASONS, Stephen King promised us a haunted car. A year later, he delivered. Dennis Guilder and Arnie Cunningham have been friends since they were six. Arnie’s the pimply loser (“Every high ...
Pros: King at his best. All the pieces are in place. Cons: None. It's one of the best of King's 58 books.
’Let’s cruise, big boy.’ – Christine to Dennis.
Yeah, yeah, Stephen King’s a serial formula writer, I know, but he’s proven that it’s a spellbinding formula that appears to work time and time again. However, I must say that I suspect a...
Pros: Great Characterization, Great Book to Read Cons: At some points the pacing slows down
Reading has always been very low on my list of hobbies. I dunno, there's just something about curling up and reading a book that doesn't suit my character (it's probably because I lack imagination). Lately I've learned that books are perfect for when I'm ...
Pros: Interesting read that doesn't get boring Cons: The music references won't mean much to some people
Stephen King is the Number 1 best-selling horror author of Christine, a novel about a seemingly possessed car that captures it's owner's mind and body. He has written many books including: IT, Carrie, Pet Sematary, The Tommy Knockers and Desperation. ...
Pros: An engaging tale in the classic King style. Cons: Not quite as good as "Firestarter" or "The Dead Zone."
NOTE: REVEALS MAJOR PLOT DETAILS You know Stephen King is good when he can make an old, beat-up rust bucket of a car into an object of terror. He does it so well in "Christine," the story of an appropriately named Plymouth Fury with a mind, soul, and ...
Pros: Good Character Development, Plot Great! Cons: none
It doesn't matter when an author writes a book, what matters is when you read it. I didn't get the chance to read Christine until just last year. I have a lot of time on my hands for reading but I just never picked it up. I had already seen the...
Pros: Superb story with tense scenes. Cons: Open-ended ending.
You may someday stumble across my review of "Christine", the movie version of Christine, the book. While the movie isn't bad, the book is much better. Christine is a great example of the kind of talented, or to use his...
Pros: Christine is a hoot! Lighter than many of King's books, it's a history of rock! Cons: It's scary, it's rock and roll, it's so well written there are no cons.
Christine had to have been written with an oldies station on.
This book didn't really scrape my nerves raw the way some of King's darker novels do. It didn't have the nightmare quality of abuse that Rose Madder or Desperation did, or the...
Pros: straight to the point King horror Cons: junior high reading level
Steven King himself has said that some of his novels are great, some good, some not-so-good, and some terrible, with the more lackluster efforts gravitating toward his very early days as a writer. This is only normal, even for the King... ...
Pros: frightening and thrilling Cons: strong language may turn some off
Christine is the very first Stephen King book I ever read. So it holds a sentimental place in my heart. It's a good book, not his best, but it's pretty good. Like all King books, I know I've read it at least five times, probably more. I think every...
Pros: Christine is a classic Cons: Stay away from this book if you don't like horror at it's best
I really enjoyed reading Stephen King's book Christine. To read about someone who get's so tied up in a car that it comes to life and starts controlling the owner is really something.
Pros: Interesting idea about anger keeping ghosts around Cons: Not as creepy as the movie
I finally got around to reading this book while moving. Normally, I don't care for Stephen King's novels; they are usually overly long and he gets caught up in the details. I think his short stories are much better. But my wife kept saying how great the ...
Pros: easy, fast paced, keeps you on the edge of your car seat Cons: Not for people who like 30 page novels
If you like easy reading and fast paced action, you can't beat King!!
This book is alot better than the movie. The details of the book complete the story in a way the movie never could.
Having read all of this writers works, I highly...
Pros: Typical King style. Cons: Less inside the characters; not that scary.
Growing up with several brothers and a body man for a father, I quickly learned appreciation for cars. Christine is a car my brothers and father would drool over -- until she started killing people.
