Evil is alive in Libertyville. It inhabits a custom-painted red and white 1958 Plymouth Fury and the teenage boy, Arnold Cunningham, who buys it.
Along with Arnold’s girlfriend Leigh Cabot, Dennis Guilder attempts to find out the real truth behind Christine and finds more than he bargained for: from murder to suicide, and a peculiar feeling that surrounds Christine—she gets even with anyone standing in her path.
Can Dennis save Arnold from the wrath of Christine?

"Stephen King has the ability to write horror fantasy that is so real, you believe it could happen. I had absolutely no problem falling under his spell with this novel, and, though I do still name my cars, I have to remind myself at least annually that no, cars do not have their own agendas."
— Colleen (4 out of 5 stars)
“At its best, reading Christine is not unlike watching trapeze artists at the precise instant when they suspend themselves between swings in midair. Time is frozen; for an instant everything is breathtaking, awesome. There are many such moments in Christine, for it is vintage King.”
— New York Times“Vintage King…breathtaking…awesome. Carries such momentum the reader must force himself to slow down!”
— New York Times Book Review“Truly gripping…some of the best writing King has ever done…The master has returned with a vengeance.”
— Publishers Weekly“A well-known story even among those who are not King fans, Christine follows the progression of local nerd Arnie Cunningham’s all-consuming love for a run-down 1958 Plymouth Fury. King has a knack for stretching out a story to achieve the highest level of tension, and Holter Graham’s narration certainly grips the listener to the grisly end...this is no brief listen—it’s the book to listen to on an epic journey or perhaps spread over a few dark winter evenings to add to the story’s atmosphere. Winner of the AudioFile Earphones Award.”
— Audiofile" One of the best, and most underated, King books "
— Gesmer, 1/25/2014" I'm not foolish enough to take SK too seriously, but I do like buying into the illusion, regardless of subject matter. This was one of the first of his where I failed miserably and thought it was just inane. Still, an inane SK novel still deserves three stars. "
— Paul, 1/12/2014" If you date a guy who names his car Christine..ran away as fast as you can. "
— Sheida, 1/11/2014" First SK book I read. Hooked ever since. "
— Brook, 12/26/2013" I have been reading Stephen King for over twenty years, but I think I have just recently really discovered him. This was a great read, especially as an audio book. Will definitely read again. "
— Samantha, 12/22/2013" Like so many of King's other books, I loved it. I did feel that it takes a while to really get swept up in King's books, but there always comes a point when I cannot put the book down unless it is wrenched from my fingers. This one was no different. A perfectly satisfying thriller. "
— Jessica, 12/15/2013" One of the classic scenes in horror novels takes place while Christine suffers a flat tire. "
— Glendon, 12/11/2013" A good yarn about a possesed car that kills it's (and it's ownwers) foes. "
— Jak, 12/3/2013" I just didn't find this book scary. "
— Valerie, 10/20/2013" One of the best of early King. "
