Christine by Stephen King
4.0

"His single-minded purpose. His unending fury."

I'm sure if you've been friends with me for a while, one of my favorite aspects of Stephen King's writing is his way of depicting a person just going absolutely bat-sh*t crazy. Christine is no different. I listened to the audiobook version of Christine and listening to the narrator changing voices for Arnie was one hell of a trip, going from a nerdy, meek sounding kid to a maniacal, gruff old man.

The book follows Arnie Cunningham as his obsession for his car, Christine continues to grow. Everyone around him, including: Dennis Guilder, Leigh Cabot and their parents watch as Arnie turns into somebody unrecognizable.

As with all Stephen King books, sometimes the build up is slow.. but it really picks up after that build up and never really stops until the end. I'd recommend it for anybody that is a fan of the classic movie, Stephen King fans, and fans of the thought of a car having supernatural abilities lol
