Summary: Carrie
Review: A classic horror story, in which the reader will feel both deep compassion for and great fear of the main character. Carrie will bring you back to those nightmarish times in high school when you felt like you just didn't fit in!

Summary: The most awesome book alive!
Review: Well, if you read this book, you learn of stuff that you have never heard of! It has a lot of scary and dramtic things in it but I suggest that everyone read it! It's exciting and fun to read! I am not a big reader but this particular book caught my eye and I decided to read it! I have seen the movie but reading it isn't the same as seeing the movie! If you see the movie than you can't imagine it yourself as how you think it is! But reading the book helps you to imagine things that you never thought was possible!

Summary: Superb
Review: This is the first Stephen King that I've ever read and I must say that the book was superb. The book explores into the mind of Carrie, a misunderstood highschool girl. After Carrie notices that she can move objects using her mind, she looks into it and sees that she has telekeinetic powers. If you've seen the movie, read the book. It is 100 times better. If you haven't seen the movie or read the book, read the book 1st. The movie will ruin the book. Although the book is not a horror novel, it is still a fascinating science fiction. This book will hook you with the explosive shower room scene. This is a great book for anybody that is looking for a good fast paced read. I'm only 12 and read it in 2 days it was so good. Read it, you won't be disappointed.

Summary: As astonishing as the first time - and that's what this is!
Review: Besides the fact that this book was the first published book by Stephen King, it has nothing that claims for attention, nothing special. Sometimes known as an author for teenagers, Stephen King shows in that book why. The plot, that is not very rich - but is powerful, revolves around a teenager who doesn't know nothing about the world becauser her mother is a religion fanatic, and think this world is crazy - well, I wouldn't disagree with that hehe - and think that it would be better to lock her daughter inside her houser than let her become a lost soul in this world. The other girls tease her because of her innocence, and people find her ridiculous in general. And, much to her mother's chagrin, she also has a power called telecinesy, through whick she can move what and whoever she wants just looking and wanting to do it. The problem is that this power is not under her control - and that's when the horror begins - and she gives pain even for the ones who do not deserve it. The plot is good, and I couldn't think of it in another way better than the way it was written... Not exactly the way, but the scenarios where it took place: house of Carrie, School, end of grade's day... All in a small town. The book, completely different in its taste and matureness, hold the reader, yes, but books like IT, THE SHINING, PET SEMATARY and CHRISTINE are obviously much better than that book. Anyway, this is a wonderful Stephen King piece as any other could be. Ever a joy! Marco Aurelio.

Summary: Have you ever really been afraid?
Review: Actually, the book is not that scary but that's me who doesn't get scared easily. But the suspence is great, the story amazing and Stephen King has managed to delight me when I hadn't read anything from him yet. I had heard of the film but I never saw that classic of terror. I should though, even after reading the book. The fact is, the book is wonderful and you can't put it down. The author says it is 'raw'. Well, if this is what he calls 'raw' I wouldn't know what to call a masterpiece... You have to read this book. Because you will never see things the way you do now again...

Summary: Still the Classic
Review: I've read both the book and watched the movie, and can attest to it's staying power. Although not as polished as his later works, the rough edges only add to the obvious torment our dark protagonist feels. Contending with a bible-belt(?) mother and extremely evil classmates, it's a wonder that Carrie did not snap eariler. Her life seems dismal until she realizes that she has telekinetic powers that enable her to do the extraordinary. Although the movie is low budget by today's standards (strings and wires are visible if you know where to look) this book remains very enjoyable because you can picture it happening any time. Even if it was intended to deal with the angst felt by the baby boom generation (and quite possibly the frustration women were feeling in narrowed roles)it remains relevant to my generation as well.

Summary: Astounishing debut
Review: In my opinion this book is still one of Stephen King's best. Simple idea, unexpected plot, excellent automosphere, direct horror. This book reads like a true story indeed, so many documents and scenes are so vivid and you wonder whether it is merely fabulous or not. Via this book Stephen King tell us he is a born story-teller. BTW, After reading over 10 of King's books, I must say that I still love his early direct, earnest style rather then the recent psychological, sinuous, over-embellished one.
