I have been listening to the audio version of Christine for the past week or so and have come to the conclusion that it isn't a very good book. A lot of the dialogue between Dennis and Arnie sounds forced and clumsy much of the time and the premise of the story delivered over the course of a novel loses its impact. It might have worked better as a short story or perhaps a novella.
"A real limited edition, far from being an expensive autograph stapled to a novel, is a treasure. And like all treasures do, it transforms the responsible owner into a caretaker, and being a caretaker of something as fragile and easily destroyed as ideas and images is not a bad thing but a good one...and so is the re-evaluation of what books are and what they do that necessarily follows." - Stephen King
