While I did not enjoy this, I am happy that I read it.

I want to read all of King's novels.

Overall my main issue with this story was how confusing it was. The POV switched so frequently and often without an early explanation of who was talking. I found myself getting distracted while trying to figure out what was happening.
Also, (why were thoughts in quotes, no parenthesis). That was just distracting. They had like no punctuation and were disjointed and, yet again, it was hard to tell who they belonged to. ( )

My first Stephen King book. Simple and brilliant. ( )

I have always wanted to pick up Carrie and I finally was able to find a copy of it.

Since I saw many film adaptions of this book first, it was kind of weird reading the different viewpoints of the novel - but it worked. I enjoyed reading the different perspectives within the novel, it gave a special insight into the minds of everyone else, something many books lack.

I definitely didn't find it scary. It made me feel horrible for the treatment of the girl, and it made me understand why she was so evil, but I wasn't scared. The films left me a lot more horrified then the book did (and books have left me scared before. The first Temperance Brennan book did just that).

It was well written - the writing style was strange at times, but it's easy to follow.

I was definitely amazed at the idea behind this book. How did Stephen King think this up? That thought went through my mind numerous times while reading. It's a wonderful idea and he did it justice.

Overall, it was a good story and I want to read more by Stephen King. He's quite the genius!

Four out of five stars. ( )

The dangers of polyamorous relationships is explored in this classic horror.

It all begins when Sue Snell encourages her boyfriend Tommy to pursue the high school religious freak, Carrieta White. He doesn't show interest at first but Sue knows he's got the hots for her. She wouldn't know that her pressuring her boyfriend to date other people would end up a literal bloody mess.

4.5/5 though, seriously, all joking aside this is a scary book that I truly enjoyed being lulled into by Sissy Spacek. Would recommend.
