When Arnie and his friend Dennis are driving home one day they see a '58 Plymouth Fury for sale. Once Arnie sees the car he is in love and has to have it. Dennis (and everyone else in Arnie's life) doesn't have a good feeling about the car and tries to convince him otherwise but Arnie buys the car anyway. As time goes on Arnie begins changing. He's rude and lashes out more easily. He is constantly spending time with his car, Christine, "fixing her up" and although the car is improving no one ever sees him working on it. Arnie's mood continues to decline and as this goes on, many people that circle his life are being found dead.
This was one of my favorite Stephen King's so far. I thought the characters were very well crafted and the town felt so real and easy to picture. This was one that I kinda rolled my eyes at thinking there was no way it was going to be scary, but it proved me wrong. There were times where I had to put the book down and step away because of gore or even just the descriptions of Christine and how alive she felt. Definitely left me spooked to walk across a parking lot alone at night.
