Some good writing, but borders on the silly at times. ( )

I messed up and saw the movie before the book and I think that's what ruined it for me. I'm not a huge car fan to begin with and obviously that is what the whole book is about. Couldn't get into the characters or storyline. However, if you like this do read From A Buick 8 ( )

It takes a special kind of writer to bring you into a world where the impossible happens, but maybe we are prepared for a car having a spirit, malevolent or otherwise, by the Harry Crews supposition that Americans are their car.
Whatever, I spotted Christine from a newspaper ad. It was a mess and it barely ran, but I bought it immediately in December, 2000, and still drive it some seven years plus later.
Like the title car, it does what it wants to do, and if anyone but me drives it, it stalls and will not start again. It also has the original AM only radio and when I bought it, it played only 1950s oldies. It only lasted a week or two, however. ( )

This is the French version of Stephen King's Christine.

Stephen King seems to like spooky cars and so do I. This is one of my favourite SK books and Arnie Cunningham is one of his most tragic hero's. A love triangle between a boy, a girl and a car just can't end well. ( )

Epigraph
Hey, lookie there!

Across the street!

There's a car made just for me,

To own that car would be a luxury. . .

That car's fine-lookin, man,

That's something else.

-- Eddie Cochran
Dedication
This is for George Romero and Chris Forrest Romero. And the Burg.

This is the story of a lover's triangle, I suppose you'd say -- Arnie Cunningham, Leigh Cabot, and, of course, Christine.

(Prologue)
"Oh my God!" my friend Arnie Cunningham cried out suddenly.
Quotations
I think part of being a parent is trying to kill your kids.
