Christine by Stephen King
5.0
From Christine to Chris-steer yourself away from me, this novel is a supernatural tale of obsession, friendship, love, loss and, y’know, a killer car.
When Arnie Cunningham drives past the 1958 red and white Plymouth Fury we come to know as Christine, it is love at first sight. Arnie decides to purchase Christine and quickly begins repairs. However as grilles are quickly and seamlessly fitted and shredded interiors are suddenly miraculously refurbished, suspicions arise. And it’s not just Christine changing. Those closest to Arnie including his best friend Dennis and new love Leigh, begin to notice a dark personality emerging as Arnie becomes more and more like Christines previous owner, LeBay.
Characters and character development fuel this novel as the reader witnesses first hand the transformation from Loner Arnie Cunningham, to enraged to the point of delirium Arnie Cunningham which is something King does effortlessly.
Christine is easily one of Kings greatest novels as although some scenes could have been deduced to fewer pages, the craftsmanship, world building and detail inscribed into each of the 700+ pages is something that you cannot miss out on.
