Carrie

Summary: A must read for any to be KING fan!
Review: One of the few where the movie was as good as the book (almost) I always picture John Travolta and Sissy when this book comes to mind. Anyway, the story is just great...never boring and an exciting ending. Read it!!! Thanks Mr. King!

Summary: Completely freaked me out!
Review: This is THE most macabre Stephen King book. Tales of mistreated people always affect me and I could not sleep for thinking about this book for weeks. I think that it is the most delicate material he has ever written about and is just a classic. Along with Tommyknockers this is my favourite King book and I don't think that any he'll ever write another to change my mind. I was glad to see the film do it justice, which is more than can be said for the Tommyknockers film!

Rating:
Summary: Carrie was gory, suspenseful, horrifying and a most read.
Review: An orignal masterpiece that is so well written I at first actually thought it was based on a true story. This is defintely one of king's best!

Rating:
Summary: His first is a good one.
Review: To be honest with you, the book is thin and compelling. The movie is even better. the book is what made King the man that he is.

Rating:
Summary: very well writen,very suspenceful
Review: Stephen king's carrie is an excellent book. it's one of those books that doesn't let you put it down.There is an outstanding plot.The chararcter descriptions were very good.The use of such uniksplainable phanomanon like telekaneisis as the main subject.The fact that the story is made up of bits and pieces from news reports,biographies and actual narations from people as they remember the inscident. I feel that this is a good book to read when you have absolutly nothing to do.This book will definitly keep you occupied.This is a well writen book.

Summary: "Carrie", a true masterpiece
Review: The novel by Stephen King, "Carrie" may be an oldie, but it is still a goodie. It is on of the best if not the best novel I have ever read....it is running somewhat of a close race with Frank DeFelitta's "Audrey Rose." I think that everyone can relate to "Carrie." There are always those people that royally tick us off, and some of us dream of getting them back (not burning them alive in a gym) but you get my drift. It is definitely a novel that many people can relate to.

Summary: Carrie made you think if King is really so damn good.
Review: This is the type of book that you really think about. I mean sure it was King's first novel, but still, before I knew it the book was already over. But I think, beyond all, Carrie was a great novel, not as good as The Tommyknockers or Insomnia, but still a great novel. Let me give you a brief summary. I mean a real brief summary, the story was very short. A girl named Carrie has telekenetic powers, and she's out there to destroy anyone who ever said a word about her. Hell, she's out there to destroy her whole highschool. I think DePalma did a great job directing the movie in comparison with Kubrick directing The Shining.

Summary: CREEPY
Review: I FELT CARRIE WAS A STEPHEN KING MASTERPIECE . MOST OF HIS BOOKS ARE. THIS BOOK (CARRIE) SHOWS PEOPLE WHAT IT FEELS LIKE TO BE PICKED ON. AND HER MOTHER,S CHARACTER SHOWS JUST HOW OVER PROTECTIVE SOME MOM,S REALLY ARE. I RECOMEND CARRIE TO EVERYBODY WHO LIKES AGOOD OLD FASHONED SCARE. THIS IS STEPHEN KINGS NOVEL THAT MADE HIM FAMOUS.THIS IS HIS 1ST PUBLISHED NOVEL.

Rating:
Summary: GO CARRIE!!!!
Review: This was a really good book. The reason I only gave it four stars is because I felt King rushed the middle, when things REALLY started to happen. If he had put even more detail into it.....this book would have been the best.

Summary: Raw King
Review: King's first novel has incredible power, as incredible as the psychic abilities of the title character. It doesn't always work, unfortunately; the outtakes and quotes from fictional studies of the paranormal become a little trite. That's a mere quibble, however. The meat of the book is engaging and intelligent, and the characters are fully realized. While the novel lacks the polish of later novels (The Shining, The Dead Zone, Insomnia), it also lacks the bloat. Recommended.
