This is a well written book. Plain and simple.

This isn't just a creep-me-out thriller; it's also a nostalgic look back at growing up as seen through the eyes of Dennis Guilder, all around good guy. Of course it DID creep me out; it wouldn't be S.King without a monster lurking somewhere in the murky darkness and he doesn't disappoint. But the story isn't all about the malevolent red and white Plymouth Fury. It's also about Arnie, the confused boy who takes on the personality of Christine's former owner, and the frustration he releases through Christine, who carries out his violent unspoken wishes. I dove into this book and didn't surface until I finished it, two days later. A great read and one of King's finest. This book is an example of why I read his books.

I also recommend "The Stand" --though I know the sheer bulk of it can seem daunting-- and "The Talisman" which he wrote with Peter Staub. Staub's "Ghost Story" is a great book, too. - an Amazon customer review
