Christine might be one of the better King books I've read (though not the best) in that it was actually genuinely creepy in a few instances. That creepiness, however, was somewhat offset by its ridiculous premise.
Decent.
Decent.
Okay, sure, two stars is maybe a bit harsh. I mean, I guess it isn't actually bad or poorly written or anything, but I just found myself not caring about the story or characters at all. Maybe it's me, I dunno.
Classic King. Enjoyable book with characters you care about.
"Oh, he loved and loathed her, he hated her and cherished her, he needed her and needed to run from her, she was his and he was hers."
The thrilling adventures of Christine, Arnie Cunningham's '58 red-and-white Plymouth, were horrifically tasty. She was a mad woman, envious of her owner's friends and lover, and ready to avenge whoever came for him.
I did not expect I would enjoy reading this so much. A murderous cursed car? Please. Nothing about that sounded appealing, but it's a well-known story and even merchandise was made with Christine being the star! I had to give it a chance, and I'm seriously glad I did. Dennis Guilder and Leigh Cabot really held the story through. Arnie's best friend and his girlfriend teaming up was something I didn't foresee, but that climax point within the book really got me zooming through, page-turning my life away.
Not everyone's cup of tea, but you should try it out. It's good.

Good old classic. This is one of few Stephen King books that I have read more than once. The Stand and The Shining are two others. The rest ... great, but one reading only. I thought it will make for leasure reading during NaNoWriMo (after all I know how it ends so no rush) but I finished before NaNo even started :-)
Uno de los mejores finales que he leido de Stephen, la mayoria de las veces siento que sus finales son un poco flojos y suelen ser decepcionantes,pero este ha sido perfecto.
Ya mas o menos intuía el final y aunque acerté en algunas cosas,otras fueron una total sorpresa. Arnie y Dennis son unos personajes geniales,me gusto mucho la dinámica de su amistad y sus respectivas personalidades(Arnie dejame abrazarte). Leigh,no estaba muy segura de si ella me gustaría porque se formaría un "triangulo amoroso" pero ella es una chica inteligente, dulce y muuuuuuuy linda, asi que no habia manera en que la odiara...creo que manejo muy bien la situación y me senti muy feliz cuando vi que tomaba decisiones pensando en su seguridad y no solo "por amor".
Como punto negativo debo decir que senti que el cambio de narradores en la segunda parte de la novela fue un tanto dificil de asimilar porque en verdad me gustaba la voz de Dennis. Entiendo que fuese necesario el cambio, porque hubiese sido imposible seguir esa parte desde el punto de vista de Dennis, pero de todos modos me fue difícil hacer la transición.
