Review: Christine

Christine by Stephen King
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

I purchased this book at the Union Square Barnes & Noble.

I have read many Stephen King books, and now I'm picking up some of the ones I had missed. This one's quite a long book, and I found the change to a third person narrative in the middle of the book a little strange. I like how it went back to Dennis's perspective in the end, though.

I was surprised by the end as I found it darker than a lot of King's novels. But I guess it's not quite dark enough to be a Bachman book? The denouement was very exciting and occurred appropriately at the very end; not too much wrap-up afterwards.

I found the motivation for some of the characters' deaths to be a little unconvincing. Even upon finding out who is being motivated to do the killing, I found 'killing becomes a habit' to be a little unsatisfying as the reason for people dying.
