Yeah, this was actually pretty good. I've several of Stephen King's books and have not been impressed by them. I saw 'Christine' the movie many years ago and decided to give the book a try. Covers areas not in the movie and more back story which makes the book and movie more interesting. It reads much better then a lot of King's books, there really isn't much of his droning on and on in this one, and I really like that. Lets face it, King can get really long winded.

She's coming for you!
Archie sees a car, sitting on the side of the road when driving with his friend. He has to have this car, so he finds the money and takes the car home. Unknown to all, the car is possessive, and will do anything it takes to have Archie to herself, even if it takes killing everyone to do it.
This book is graphical, telling how everyone in Christine's path dies. She is destructive, and is a character all to herself. One of King's best books, recommend to anyone!
