Rating: Summary: His better one? Review: I liked this one the most of all his novels and I've only read a few. The psychology of Carrie I found fascinating. Generally, I don't care for the genre.
Rating: Summary: Finally, a book for the cast-outs. Review: I loved this Stephen King book because it was written from mostly Carrie's point of view. The news articles confused me at first, though. This book is a must read for anyone that has ever been left out of anything.
Rating: Summary: should be a classic! Review: It's hard to believe King had such a hard time getting this book published...it is by far the best ficticious book on the supernatural that I've ever read, and King's greatest work I first read it in high school, and can't resist the urge to reread it every few years.Every bit as powerful as the movie, even more so because of his unique (at the time original) way of telling much of the story through news clippings.Add to that the fact that it is a short, light, easily read novel that doesn't get bogged down and wordy (alas, it's perhaps the only King novel that can make that claim), and you have a real winner!
Rating: Summary: A coming of justice story ... Review: The first time I read Carrie I thought it smaked of a "first try." After having been in love with "IT" for months I found "Carrie" a bit lacking. But then I read it over and over and over and I found that not only did I sympathize with Carrie, I wanted to be her, help her, recognize her. I could swear I'd seen her walking the halls of my high school, that I had been her standing in the shower, that I had looked through Chris' eyes and threw things. The cruelty and assurence of being on the right side that King won't let you get away from is what makes this book a perfect documentary on how adolecents treat each other. The terror lies not in the decriptions of gory deaths, of blood and guts but in the fact that everyone went through this, everyone put someone else through this, and people are still going through this. Being beaten down, judged, torn between home and school because neither place is really safe. Of course you cheer Carrie as she burns the city and destroys her enemies. How else could one externalize what years of taunting relly feel like, what they actually do? Carrie's classmates destroyed whatever they could of Carrie, and so did she. But she could get a hold of a lot more.
No, "Carrie" isn't "IT." "Carrie" is a lean and precise piece of being a teenager, and a reminder of the horrors that King doesn't have to make up ...
Rating: Summary: Treat somebody like a dog, and they will BITE! Review: You can feel her pain and hoplessness. The true evil in this book was human nature. We pick on the weak. Sometimes the weak turn out to have the power, and have been pushed hard enough to use it. This book explored a lot of different personalities, and I truly enjoyed it very much. Stephen King was ahead of his time, and as always better than the rest.
Rating: Summary: THE most heart-wrenching book I've ever read-incredible!!!! Review: I felt as though I knew Carrie personally. I could feel her pain as she struggled just to fit in and be accepted. Then I felt her overwhelming happiness as she was crowned queen of the prom and was finally accepted by everyone. The humiliation that finally sent her over the edge was so real. But she showed them all!! The part that really tears my heart apart is the fact that her mother turned her into the monster that she became by telling her she had the devil's power and in the end her mother ultimately destroyed her. I've read it at least 20 times and will read it at least that many more I'm sure. Excellent!!!!
Rating: Summary: Carrie is a great CLASSIC Stephen King booK!! **MUST READ** Review: Carrie is a great novel. It is not that scary, but it is great for everyone!! I LOVE IT! IT IS AWESOME. You go Carrie!! To me, she did a good thing! READ CARRIE NOW!!!!!!
Rating: Summary: A get-you back movie&story Review: GO CARRIE,DON'T LET THEM RUIN YOUR NIGHT GO GIRL!
Rating: Summary: To those that have ever been bullied... Review: CARRIE is the book for you. I cheered her on as she wrecked havoc on her classmates and her mother. For once, someone got revenge on the school bullies. I enjoyed every page.
Rating: Summary: Horrifying.... A ''Kingly'' Novel Review: I thought that ''Carrie''was, and still is, one of Stephen King's best. I wouldn't give this book a full ''10'' because of the dull articles after the incident.
