Holy shit, what a ride. ( )

King’s love for American cars was a significant part of his early career. Christine reflects on that with themes of youth, maturation, cars, friendship, and terror!

Christine is not my favorite King novel. I would place this well below others like The Stand, The Shining, or The Dark Tower on my personal list. It’s still a pretty enjoyable King novel. Despite rocky patches, it was enough to put me on the King's path I’ve been on ever since.

I think the first issue I had was the length. The 700-page book normally doesn’t bother me, but for Christine, it was overwhelming. For me, there were too many chapters without enough substance. Initially, I was expecting graphic descriptions of twisted events that kept me awake at night. Although I hate saying this, I could not get into some of this book.

A few scenes made my skin crawl, and I flitted through the pages, getting that “Classic King” feeling. When that happens, it’s amazing. Things went quite a few pages later, and it left me hanging. In reality, a possessed car was not as scary as I thought. ( )

Indiscutibilmente un capolavoro, tra i migliori romanzi di King ( e base per l'omonimo film di Carpenter..).
Estrema cartatterizzazione dei personaggi e trama incalzante, anche se spesso l'autore "anticipa" gli eventi e fa perdere un po' di suspense...
Consigliatissimo a nuovi e vecchi estimatori del Re. ( )

While King's ability to scare his readers is, of course, one of his greatest gifts, I am especially drawn to the way he takes utterly fantastic and incredulous stories and turns them into believable, human, and authentic horror stories. ( )

Noice. The ending was surprisingly not-weird for a Stephen King book and the plot made it hard to put down whenever I had time to read. Not his best, but good ( )
