Christine

by Stephen King


This was one of his older books that I hadn't read yet, a good summer choice.

Dennis and Arnie are typical teens, except that one is a popular jock and the other a pimply loser. When the geek impetiously buys an old clucker car, Christine, strange things start to happen.
King always tells such a good story. His characters are quirky and well-drawn, not typical. His momentum is amazing. This book was not quite as gory as some, more suspenseful but King has never been one to shy away from blunt crudeness from time to time and being about teenagers, this book has it.
