Christine

Has anyone read this?

Does anyone think there should be a sequel?

I think Leigh is an amazing character, but why oh why, didi they have to spilt up at the end?!!!!

Oh and can anyone recommend some King novels for a massive fan of Christine, who has only managed to get halfway through other King novles?

My days of being a Stephen King fan are long gone now, but favourites were always It, The Stand, Gerald's Game, Misery, Carrie, and Cujo.

Why the loss of interest? If you dont mind me asking...

I don't mind you asking at all! Mainly loss of writing talent and loss of originality. I still appreciate the old favourites but the rest I think the world could do without.

I'd have to agree with the recommendations above. "Cujo" is probably a good place to start. I'm a huge King fan, and I'd say "IT" and probably "The Stand" are his two best (IT is my all time favourite book). They're a bit long if you've given up on previous titles. Start with Cujo! Not too long, but a very good story.

I loved Salem's Lot, very spooky and enjoyable. I really did struggle to put it down.

I loved Salem's Lot, very spooky and enjoyable. I really did struggle to put it down.Yes, that's a good one too, very spooky, but the film kind of took the shine off the books for me. Needful Things, that's another great one too.

Well i have copies of Carrie, Pet Semetary, Misery, From A Buick8, The Stand, Desperation, Black House, Cell, Insomnia and Needful Things.

I've started and given up on The Stand, From A Buick8 and Desperation.

But I do really want to read them all, and would like to get back into King, so which do you recommend i start with?

:p

I've started and given up on ... From A Buick8 Don't worry about that one - it's rubbish.

which do you recommend i start with?
Carrie, possibly as it was his first to be published, then maybe Needful Things as it's a great story start to finish. Or Misery for the same reason.

"Pet Semetary" is one of the earlier novels, and pretty creepy. It's a very good read!

Creep ay?! Bring it on!

''From A Buick8'' and ''Hearts of Atlantis,'' I didn't enjoy. ''Christine'' and ''Carrie'' were great. However, a book I loved was his 'On Writing', a very candid autobiography with an insight to how his mind ticks.
