Christine by Stephen King
4.0
As I suspected, it would be a few hundred pages in before Christine would wreak havoc in Libertyville, but when she did, my God was it brutal bloody murder.
“Because the really crazy part was that she felt Christine was watching them. That she was jealous, disapproving, maybe hating.”
The build up in Christine is sublime, I immensly enjoy the way Stephen King develops his characters, especially the young charcters. I knew it would be a while before I got to the part in the book when things would start taking an interesting turn with Christine, but when it does, the pay off is great. I don't know how he managed to write so many pages about a car killing people, but he is a master at his craft for reason. The settings of each murder are vastly different and he's great at building a picture of what's happening and how everything looks which really takes you into the book feeling like you're present during those chaotic moments, watching everything unfold as a bystander with an open mouth.
Needless to say, I loved this book. I'm happy that I've finally read it and I couldn't recommend it enough.
A killer car, evil old man, a lost soul (Arnie Cunningham :( ) and young people trying to save the day - what could be better? Seriously, it's brilliant.
