Summary: King's first, not his best.
Review: This is a good book, like most of King's works. This is far from his best though, but is still a notable work. This book has 3 parts, but the frusterating part is there is no chapters! It can be very frusterating at times. But that is the only major thing that is wrong with the book. Storywise, this is a pretty enjoyable book. It starts with Carrie getting made fun of and pushed down into the ground, then she gets her revenge. The ending of the book is better and more shocking then the movie, while the movie has some better parts. Overall, this book does have its flaws, but is still OK. This isn't really a book for kids, but it is tamer then a lot of his work. Still, there is bad content for youngsters, and it is somewhat scary. Enjoy it, it is fun to read King's older works and compare to the new stuff.

Summary: It all started here.
Review: This is the first of many Stephen King books. To think that King originally at one point threw the draft copy of this in the trash (to later be rescued by his wife.) is almost unimaginable. This novel is fast and brutally honest about being an outcast in high school. It is written in a very strange form but the excitement is still there. If you've never read this book you're not a true King fan. Much different from the film but just as fast and gorey. ESP powers and being outcasted are a bad combination.

Summary: Amazing for a first book
Review: Carrie is King's first published book, and I think it's one of his best up to date, along with The Stand and The eyes of the dragon. Carrie is a very unique character. She grew up under the surveillance of a very religious and controling mother who believed that everything related to sex was demoniac. In that kind of environment, the kid couldn't be anything but kind of crazy herself. That would be fine, if she wasn't motive of laughter in the school, and if she hadn't one very special power: telekinetics. The book is very easy to read. The reader must pay attention to every detail, so one can fully understand the subtleties of the plot. For example, the name of the protagonist is Carrie (a carrier) White (the innocence). Very good for a first try. Congratulations, Mr King.

Summary: If You Enjoyed the Film, You'll Love the Book!
Review: I am not a big reader, but after seeing the film version of 'Carrie' how could I resist reading the novel? It was much like the film, but more in depth and a longer storyline. It was excellent and actually better than the movie.

Summary: erm... uh... well
Review: Don't get me wrong, I a HUGE King fan. I love most everything he has ever written, he's a phenomenal author, yadda yadda yadda... but this book just didn't seem to do it for me. And it's a shame, ya know, because the basic idea is just so damn good! Zealot mom brainwashes and abuses daughter, daughter wants to break free, has telekinetic powers, made fun of at school, kills them all... that's great! But this book didn't have the character development that I've come to expect from King... maybe I've been spoiled! Also the plot seemed too simple - but that isn't my biggest complaint. Sometimes short and sweet is great. But why waste a wonderful idea on such short sweetness? Oh well, to each his own. My opinion of Stephen King is still as high as ever... in fact this makes me even more eager to read even more, better books by him!

Summary: King's first book is still my favorite.
Review: CARRIE is a terrific book on its own; as a debut, it is simply astonishing. King's first effort does not at all seem the work of a novice. I loved the device of using excerpts from books and articles supposedly written about Carrie White and Prom Night; these chapters give an almost documentary feel to the book. In fact, for some reason, this book reminds me vaguely of HELTER SKELTER, which was, of course, a true story. Another thing that lends atmosphere to this is King's use of parentheses to show the reader his characters' thoughts and impressions (did he invent this? I can't think of another author who does this), giving the reader a real feeling of identity with the characters. It is also a very moving book; in addition to being a jolly good horror story, the characters evoke real feelings of sympathy. Carrie's plight is a familiar one; King evokes the middle-class high school pecking order with devastating accuracy, and the story, ultimately, is not only scary, but very sad. It made a very good movie, incidentally. I recommend both. I've read a lot of Stephen King, but this one is still my favorite.

Summary: A Book too good to watch
Review: This book is great. I had to do a movie review for school that was over 10 years old. I saw that Carrie 2 had came out and searched everywhere for the movie. And couldn't find. so IO picked up the book. I found that the book was awesome! I loved the detail it gave and really felt for Carrie. It was a great book.!
