Synopsis
Publisher's Summary Stephen King's ultimate evil vehicle of terror, Christine: the frightening story of a nerdy teenager who falls in love with his vintage Plymouth Fury. It was love at first sight, but this car is no lady. Evil is alive in Libertyville. It inhabits a custom-painted red and white 1958 Plymouth Fury named Christine and young Arnold Cunningham, who buys it. Along with Arnold's girlfriend, Leigh Cabot, Dennis Guilder attempts to find out the real truth behind Christine and finds more than he bargained for: From murder to suicide, there's a peculiar feeling that surrounds Christine - she gets revenge on anyone standing in her path. Can Dennis save Arnold from the wrath of Christine? This number-one national best seller is "Vintage Stephen King...breathtaking...awesome. Carries such momentum the listener must force himself to slow down" (The New York Times Book Review). ©1983 Stephen King (P)2010 Penguin Audio

Christine was the first Stephen King book I ever read way back when and it's excellent! Holter Graham did it justice too , however, it seems that in the editing process the ends of sentences were clipped off many times, often leaving no pause between sentences and sometimes losing words. what a shame , otherwise it was great.
What did you love best about Christine?Crazy guy and possessive car. So much more than the movie. What other book might you compare Christine to and why?Maybe Burnt Offerings, the house kills to rejuvenate itself. What does Holter Graham bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?Yes. Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?The last conflict between Arnie and Dennis when Dennis was baiting the villain in the school parking lot.
Far better than the movie. One of SK's better books. Maybe top ten. Not as scary as It or The Shining, but entertaining with a great narrator.
