Christine était l'un des romans de Stephen King que je repoussais le plus de lire puisque l'histoire ne m'intéressait pas aux premiers abords. Mais quelle surprise ! Comme toujours avec King, le début est long à se mettre en place mais nécessaire. Puis, quand l'intrigue est lancée, la tension ne descend pas jusqu'au dénouement final (et même après). Comme Cujo, c'est l'un des King les plus sous-côtés ! J'ai adoré la complexité du personnage d'Arnie et de son alias, LeBay.

If someone had told me a few months ago that Stephen King will become one of my favorite authors I’d have laughed. Actually his novels kinda bored me because he writes so detailed but by now I really love that! Christine was a really cool book and the best book I’ve ready by him so far!

Reading this book again reminded me how much I appreciate the atmosphere of those novels that Stephen King wrote in the 1970s-early 80s. Okay, there are too many rotten corpses for my taste, but it wouldn’t be SK otherwise.

Took me a bit to get into this - chapter 8 at least, but once I did I liked it far more than I thought I would - mostly b/c I had unfond memories of the movie. There are some Stephen King books that are so riveting that I can't put it down and end up being sleep deprived for a week - the Stand comes to mind. This was not it. It wasn't that compelling. It was really good though.
Dennis, the loser of his high school, falls in love with a homicidal possessed car. Now, if that sounds nuts, it is. Through in a real girl, a great best friend, a maniacal old man, and you have yourself a horror novel. It's funny though because now that I'm an adult and a parent, I think I felt much more for the horrors that the parents experienced in this book than I did for Dennis himself.

Christine would be an excellent 350 page book. Unfortunately, it’s 650 pages. It’s simply way too long and plodding for the story it is trying to tell.
