Stephen King has written some excellent pieces of literature and it would be grossly unfair of me to call them anything less than masterpieces, however he has also written complete trash on occasions, Christine however is somewhere in between, it is not a particularly disturbing book, as one might expect from the horrormeister, nor is it completely without the ability to send a chill down the spine, but it certainly won't make you think twice before turning on the ignition, if it's thrills you want, and you want to be frightened then don't read this book, try IT, because to be quite frank this book is quite boring, it took me a long while to get into it, and once I did I was not impressed, Stephen King can write far better than this, and I'm sure he will amaze us soon, with a masterpiece of literature. Again.
