Christine

A well-known story even among those who are not King fans, CHRISTINE follows the progression of local nerd Arnie Cunningham's all-consuming love for a run-down 1958 Plymouth Fury. King has a knack for stretching out a story to achieve the highest level of tension, and Holter Graham's narration certainly grips the listener to the grisly end. He firmly establishes the main players and individualizes even minor characters, truly bringing the novel to life. Graham's vocal dexterity makes for, quite possibly, the ultimate audio experience. However, this is no brief listen--it's the book to listen to on an epic journey or perhaps spread over a few dark winter evenings to add to the story's atmosphere. B.D.J.
