Interpretation In Favor Of Books Christine
Master storyteller Stephen King presents the classic #1 national bestseller of the ultimate vehicle of terror! “This is the story of a lover’s triangle…It was bad from the start. And it got worse in a hurry.” It’s love at first sight for high school student Arnie Cunningham when he and his best friend Dennis Guilder spot the dilapidated 1958 red-and-white Plymouth Fury for sale—dubbed “Christine” by its original cantankerous owner—rusting away on a front lawn of their suburban Pennsylvania neighborhood. Dennis knows that Arnie’s never had much luck in the looks or popularity department, or really taken an interest in owning a car . . . but Christine quickly changes all that. Arnie suddenly has the newfound confidence to stick up for himself, going as far as dating the most beautiful girl at Libertyville High—transfer student Leigh Cabot—even as a mysteriously restored Christine systematically and terrifyingly consumes every aspect of Arnie’s life. Dennis and Leigh soon realize that they must uncover the awful truth behind a car with a horrifying and murderous history. Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned, and heaven help anyone who gets in Christine’s way…Specify Containing Books Christine

I put my hands on the wheel and something happenedEven now, after much thought, Im not sure exactly what it was. A vision, maybe but if it was, it sure wasnt any big deal. It was just that for a moment the torn upholstery seemed to be gone. The seat covers were whole and smelling pleasantly of vinylor maybe that smell was real leather. The worn places were gone from the steering wheel; the chrome winked pleasantly in the summer evening light falling through the garage doorLets go for a ride,2019 UpdateIm finally upgrading this one to four stars, yall. This isnt deep, meditative King; Christine is greasy and bloated and repetitive and features one of Kings most appallingly bland characters in Leigh Cabot. But damn, the ride is fun. The motor under this storys hood purrs. Written when King was just becoming a bonafide literary rockstar, this one oozes style and confidence. It shouldnt work, and it sometimes doesnt . . . but I can finally (mostly) overlook this iconic novels flaws.
This is the story of Christine, a custom-painted red and white 1958 Plymouth Fury. You'd think that the story about a car didn't warrant a novel of a whopping 529 pages or that at the very least it would be boring and bloated. But this is Stephen King.Arnie, an acne-ridden teenage outsider, one day sees a car and it is love at first sight. Despite the financial burden, despite his parents' and friend's protests, he buys the car off the grumpy owner and starts working on her it. Slowly but
4.5 StarsI had lower expectations for this book. I mean its a Stephen King novel so I figured it would be better than most novels But..... A haunted car? Really? Okay Uncle Stevie, I love you so I'll go with it But...REALLY??? Plus I've seen the movie and it was Meh! Of course I should know by now not to compare a King novel with its movie counter-part, because the movie rarely ever lives up to the book.So, did I like this book? Yes! It was scary and I never lost interest in the story. If I

Christine is an unusually book in Kings canon as it is mostly remembered as the book about the haunted car. I think this is in part because its the closest to the old Family Guy joke of Stephen King making a somehow mundane item scary and because of the film adaptation, which stream lined the story. The actual novel is more complicated than that simply premise as Christine is a story about that fragile period in a persons life were they move from childhood or adulthood via its two central
My re-telling of the story "Christine" to my sixty-five year old immigrant mother, enjoy:Me: "Mom?....are you listening? The story is about a haunted car"Mom: "a what?"Me: "a car, mom - the story is about a haunted, evil car that can drive by itself, and it kills people. Because it's haunted."Mom: "a car can't do that...tell me a car can do that! You'd be lying."Me: "No, mom, I know a car can't do that, but this one can, and its killed a ton of people already. There's these two main characters,
