Summary: Great- an excellent page-turner!!!
Review: I stayed up all night reading this one! I saw the movie, but then I decided to read the book because I wanted to find out if Sue Snell and Tommy Ross were in on the prom-night-prank thing. It turns out the book was so much better and interesting than the movie.

Summary: Carrie rules!
Review: This is the first Stephen King book I read, and I enjoyed it. I especially liked the reality of the articles and excerpts from books about the plot. Carrie is constantly tortured, and gets her revenge when the ultimate prank is played. she is an amazing girl with powers beyond human understanding. It is a great book.

Summary: Read the book...THEN see the movie
Review: O.K, I read Carrie for the first time during my senior year of High school...I re-read it my senior year of college and I have to say, the book still reigns surpreme. I was facinated with the grisly tale because I could relate with Carrie and the torment she faced. I thought the clips from the other books and magazine articles added to the realism and chilling sense of impending doom. I did see the movie (some staion airs the edited version every Halloween). There are just some hokey early 80's scenes that did not belong....sped up camera shots of Tommy Ross and the boys trying on their tuxes for the Prom...STUPID! ( I wonder how King felt about the movie version.) The ending bothers me too...I enjoyed the ending in the book..it just felt more appropriate. All and all I have to say, the book and the movie are a nice set...I would, however, LOVE to see a 90's adaptation of Carrie on the silver screen...complete and faithful to the book. With all the trash Horror that's flying about these days, it would be a nice change of pace.

Summary: King at his glory!!! King is da KING
Review: This novel grabbed me from the first page until the end. I couldn't get my eyes away from it. I mean, it has a lot to do with the movie, but there are so many things that are in the book that should have been put on the screen. For example, the part when Carrie destroys the whole town has nothing to do with the "lame" carnage that I saw in the theater. The ending (again, different to the movie) is so cool that it leaves you with a thing inside your stomach. I couldn't get my smile off my face when i finished reading the book because of my delightment. SIMPLY GREAT.

Summary: Carrie- Absolute Revenge
Review: Carrie is a tortured teenager attending high school. Her mother is a disturbed religious fanatic, who forces Carrie to take part in her absurd religious demands. With no friends, Carrie is an outsider. But there's something different about her, for she has telekinesis, the power to move objects mentally. When a school hunk asks her to the prom, she at first refuses, but then gives in. She makes her own dress, fixes herself up, and despite her mother's protest, attends the prom with the hunk. While at the prom, a bratty girl who takes part in the torturing of Carrie at school, plans a little surprise. She arranges it so Carrie will become the Prom Queen. Carrie can't believe it when she is called up on the stage to accept a crown. Then down came the blood. A bucket of pig blood covers her as her eyes widen and she looks at the laughter-stricken audience in horror. What happens next? Remember, she has telekinesis.

Summary: He started out with a good one and is still going strong!
Review: Being his first novel, it is pretty good. The way he not only tells the story through characters but also through other fake newspaper articles and fake books about the story of Carrie. Confusing in the beginning, but he uses good description and action in the end. The movie has done the same. A sequel is already in the making. Read this one first and see the sequel!
