This book was written in 1981. The writing style was so modern that I wouldn't have second guessed if they said it was written in 2014. I absolutely fell in love with King's writing style, and Dennis was a fantastic character. My favorite part of this book was the fact that it didn't end as planned.


SPOILERS: I love how Leigh and Dennis DID NOT end up together despite their journey together. I love how Arnie's ending wasn't what anyone expected. It was a happy yet not so happy ending and I loved it. I will be reading more Stephen King in the future.

Good book, no harsh complaints. Slow in parts - but what did I expect from an 800 page book? I also knew the premises of this book as I imagine most would, making the first half seem incredibly slow, book picks up speed just over half-way through. Overall I enjoyed it, not the best book I’ve ever read or anything though. This book has been my gateway drug to Stephen King books, I hope the remaining trips are on parr or better!

3.5

3,5 stars. Exciting, but not his best work for me.

"it bit me..."

Arnie is a spotty nerd who sees a Red Plymouth and falls in love. But little does he know that the car chose him, and she is a revenge hungry killing machine. The car has a terrible history of death and claims the lives of those around Arnie, and if Christine can't have him... no one can.

I loved this book, I think it sometimes gets a bad reputation but I found it so creepy and scary. Great book.
