The book starts with one of the characters, Dennis, as the narrator. With that pointed out my only other major problem with the book was the narration. Since Christine spends a lot of time using derogatory words against women and blaming their moodiness on their periods it’s mandatory that I speak up against it. No matter how minor or “of a different time” it is my duty to point out sexism, racism, or other issues when they occur. Mainly, that there’s some pretty sexist parts that I can’t ignore. I had a few issues with the personalities of some of the characters and the language they use. The characters get developed just enough for you to care about them a little and that’s enough for this kind of book. It has a lot more story to it than that and I enjoyed reading it. I like my horror gory thank you very much!Ĭhristine goes deeper than just demon car kills people. The story unfolds in an entertaining way and most importantly, the deaths are freaking brutal.

I haven’t seen the movie and I knew I could go in fresh. I’m sure that’s a very fine book but I’m stubborn and didn’t want to read 1,000 pages when I just saw the movie so I somehow ended up with Christine instead.Īll I knew about it is that it’s the one about the murder car.

I asked around and everyone said to read IT. I’ve been too busy reading his son, Joe Hill’s, books.

I know many of you cannot fathom a world in which that is true but it is. Weirdly enough, this is the first Stephen King book I’ve ever actually finished. First is the spoiler free review followed by the spoiler full review and summary. This post of Christine by author Stephen King has been adapted from two previous posts.
