Summary: Raw, dirty and very repulsive
Review: I am not a big fan of Stephen King books, although I have only read three of this books. The first one I read was "Carrie". I saw the film, loved it, so gave the novel a try. I must say it`s difficult to get imagery from this book, and I did not find King`s use of words powerful or frightening at all. They were too raw and unpleasantly accurate to intrigue me. But what really aggravated me about "Carrie" is the way King constructed newspaper articles, obituaries, and interviews into the story. It totally weakened the plot, and it sort of got confusing at times. Brian De Palma`s classic film adaptation, I feel, is a lot better. The plot was produced with more focus on adolescence, and the severe emotions the main characters felt. There also a lot more powerful and unexpected moments. Strangely, De Palma`s version of the prom scene is a a lot more chilling and electrifying than the book`s. I actually found the novel`s depiction of the climax rather funny. In all, if you`re looking for a compelling, terrifying horror story, don`t read "Carrie", it won`t do anything for you.

Summary: failed to be a horror novel
Review: I expected it to be oooh so evil and scary, but I read it late at night and I didn't feel any chill at all. It wasn't what I expected it to be. I expected it to be so evil that I couldn't go to sleep at night and would have images in my head, but no... I found it quite funny.

Summary: His Best!
Review: This is the best Stephen King book I've read! I wish that it would have been longer! It only took me like a week to read and I thought all the characters were awesome. I like how King did the flashbacks and the other books written about telekensis. It's scray at the end but read it definetly. Go get it now!

Summary: COOL!!!
Review: This was my first Steven King Novel, and it won't be my last! I first saw the movie a few weeks ago, and was so taken I bought a copy with my saved allowance! (I'm surprised my Mom let me) Well, I was tickled pink, so I went and piqued my curiosity by asking my Dad for a copy. It was great! I intend to be a King fan from now on! Mr. King, you ROCK!

Summary: It was good, but not what I expected
Review: In Chamberlain, a small New England town, an abused and confused girl learns she has an amazing ability.Her name is Carrie White. Carrie has telekinesis, the power to move objects with the mind. She has been battered by her mother. She has been tormented by her peers since the 1st grade. On prom night, she finnaly snaps at a cruel joke involving pig's blood. She then decides to payback all those who have hurt her. She takes her revenge on them all, plus a few innocents. Strange, that is all I can say. The story lies between exerpts from books written by survivors, and articles from inquisitors.
