Nathan,
I read the Stephen King book when it came out in ‘83. Then my dad and I saw the movie at the theater, might have even been opening night. Seen it many times since then because I too loved it.
Long story longer….my mom and I went to a local library book sale last year and I bought the audiobook on cd for like 25 cents! I finally decided to revisit Stephen King’s novel by listening to my copy on cd. I’m almost finished and I had forgotten how many parts of the movie differed from the book. The movie actually made for a tidier storyline in some regards. Anyhow here is the main thing I had forgotten about the book……in the story Christine was a 4 door!!
But you know what’s funny….while listening to the scenes involving the car in my mind’s eye I definitely always see that 2 door from the movie!!
