'That night I had a dream again, only in this one Christine was old - no, not just old; she was ancient, a terrible hulk of a car, something you'd expect to see in a Tarot pack: instead of the Hanged Man, the Death Car... The engine roared and hissed and jetted filthy blue oilsmoke.
It wasn't empty. Roland D Lebay was lolling behind the wheel, His eyes were open but they were glazed and dead. Each time the engine revved and Christine's rust-eaten body vibrated, he flopped like a rag doll. His peeling skull nodded back and forward'.
Christine, blood-red, fat and finned, was twenty. Her promise lay all in her past. Greedy and big, she was Arnie's obsession, a '58 Plymouth Fury. Broken down but not finished. There was still power in her - a frightening power that leaked like sump oil, staining and corrupting. A malign power that corroded the mind and turned ownership into Possession.

„Christine”, podobnie jak „Cujo” jest pozycją, którą naprawdę trudno przegapić. Czy to ze względu na sławę autora, czy popularność filmów na podstawie książek – trudno znaleźć kogoś, kto by nie kojarzył, że Christine, to – ten, no wiesz, ten samochód, co mordował ludzi. Pomysł brzmi prostacko. Naw...

I went though a King phase a while ago, and then I stopped. During that phrase, I never read this book. In fact, I have hated this book because you try growing up with the first name of Christine after this book and its movie were released. The only thing worse would have been to carried Carrie C...
Es war tatsächlich Liebe auf den ersten Blick als Arnie den verrosteten 58er Plymouth Fury am Straßenrand sah und wusste, dass es sein Auto ist. Er musste diesen Wagen unbedingt haben, egal wie heruntergekommen das Ungetüm war. Dieser oder keiner, denn er hat sich sofort in das Auto verliebt, dass a...
