I expected a lot more from this. I'm a huge Stephen King fan but Christine was disappointing. It needed a lot more editing down. It's too long for no reason.

This was a great horror book about cars! It was creepy, but not too scary all the time. I listen to this audiobook more than I watch YT, or music while doing things. I was listening to this audiobook while cleaning and I loved it. I would recommend this book, or audiobook to anyone that likes horror novels!

What I Did Like:
+The story, which is one I’ve heard pieces of before but don’t remember reading, is captivating. You are drawn in by the small changes in characters, including Christine, as the story goes on. They are like clues dropped throughout the story and it would be fun to read this one again and see if you catch more of them.
+Perfect ending. A little predictable, sure. But if it had ended any other way, I would’ve been highly disappointed. This ending wrapped up some storylines in a satisfying way while still letting the story linger in your brain. Perfect.
+The paranormal things are well written. They’re not over-explained, instead telling the reader what happened and letting the reader draw any conclusions themselves.

Who Should Read This One:
-Horror fans, this is a classic for a reason. If you’ve missed this one over the years, it’s worth a read.

My Rating: 4 Stars
