But things aren't as simple as they seem, and Christine has no intention to be terminated any time soon. 'Christine' is a memorable book that isn't outright frightening but is well-paced and will instill a quiet sense of dread in the reader. Although some car jargon is used, it's not as confusing as it could be and makes sense in context. Recommended for older teens and adults.
