Summary: The Unforgettable Debut of Stephen King
Review: King's first novel, the one that got him out of the trailer and into a long, very successful career. Guess what? It's very easy to see why. A story about growing up, the terrors of religious fanaticism, the cruelity of high school and some damned cool telekinesis, the lightning power of Carrie will burn itself into your brain and you will relish it.

Summary: Creepy!
Review: CARRIE is an absolute classic. It was the first book by King that I ever read and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I passed my copy on to my good friend, Leah who devoured it in a few days, and went on and on about it when she returned it to me. Carrie White is a seemingly innocent schoolgirl who is constantly tormented by her cruel peers and her strange mother. Carrie holds a power inside her that comes purely from anger and hate. Her mother, Margaret White, has a very strange view of Christianity...forcing Carrie to go into a small closet and pray for forgiveness after events as innocent and simple as her first period. Carrie finally gets a break when Tommy Ross asks her to go to the Prom. Little does she know that her hateful classmates are planning a surprise for her. Innocent teenager, or demonic prophet of Satan...Carrie will make you shudder.

Summary: Not his best, but quite scary if you ask me!
Review: CARRIE is the third novel I've read by Stephen King. The other two are BAG OF BONES and THE GIRL WHO LOVED TOM GORDON. I liked CARRIE the least of all those books, but it was definitely a fast and sacry read. Margaret White, Carrie's mother, was very cruel and entertaining and the newspaper articles and interviews are intriguing and fun to read. CARRIE was also a good book because it wasn't long at all and the dialogue and writing was easy to comprehend. The greatest characters are Sue Snell and Tommy, the best people King ever thought up in his creative head. CARRIE was fine by my entertainment standards!!!

Summary: Great book
Review: I wasn't into reading all that much. The first book that I read was Carrie. I was very surprised. I liked it very much. I was surprised to learn it was the first book the Stephen King wrote. I also think it's intresting how he describes Carrie's relationship with her mother. It was a very surprising book. I look forward to reading other books that were written by him. I just think he's a fantasic writer and I very much look forward to reading his books.

Summary: The Movie Was Better Than The Book
Review: This book was pretty dry, without much color or interior monologue, just leaving me with the creeps and not much understanding. The story was actually portrayed much more forcefully in the movie. So I would recommend the movie over the book. If you're looking for a good read by King, try "Thinner" or "Insomnia" instead.

Summary: King's best work ever !!!
Review: What motivated me to read this book was the movie and thank God I decided to read it ;the book is so much better than the movie . In that book you got it all : drama , suspense, mystery and a lot of horror . I guranteed you , once you've started reading it, you won't put it down . This book is one of the reasons why Stephen King is my favorite writer.

Summary: I loved it
Review: Even though I only read 1 other Stephen King novel(Firestarter)I still think this is my favorite.Not only is it less long and boring,I really identify with Carrie.I get picked on sometimes too,and sometimes I wish I had her power.I mean,who wouldn't want to get revenge on their enemies?Especially with enemies like Chris Hargensen.
