Summary: Review on Carrie
Review: Stephen King's expert discription of an unjustly tormented mind is displayed through the main charatcter in his book "Carrie." This constant repetition of emabarrasment and ridicule is what caused the climatic end that we have all probably heard of. The gripping parts of this book are best seen in the beginning shower scene and the disastrous scene of the prom at the end. Together all fears of the high school reject are displayed through King's writings.

Summary: King's Carrie
Review: Carrie is an eclectic tale of a misfit teenager, her constantly criticizing peers and her overprotective, evangelistic mother. In the midst of her pathetic life, Carrie reignites telekinetic powers which lead to the ultimate revenge. The story Carrie gives us a horrifying, yet truthful, example of the dynamics of high school.In scenes like the shower scene, Carrie is vulnerable when she experiences her first menstrual cycle. Instead of receiving sympathy, she is criticized and betrayed by her peers. Another heart-wrenching scene happens at the prom where Carrie is the butt of the ultimate prank. This prank breaks the final straw and Carrie becomes the monster everyone thinks she is.

Summary: Carrie Review
Review: Stephen Kings "Carrie" is about a middle class teenager who is sheltered by her extremely religous mother and lives her entire life as a social outcast. King opens the book with a scene where Carrie is humiliated in front of all of the girls in her gym class. Events like this continually happen to Carrie, she is always the target of jokes, and is humiliated repeatedly. Eventually, Carrie explodes and takes revenge against her mother, her peers, and the entire town of Chamberlain. King accurately shows the horror and sadness of the life of a social outcast, and how these things lead to the tragedy of Chamberlain, Maine.

Summary: A simple, classic novel
Review: Stephen King, as a writer, has never known when to shut up. Except for this, his first novel. He did call it "raw," but
even so, he really touched a nerve with the public. He hit on a
lot of truth here. The piranha pool that high school can be. A scapegoated girl. Psychic powers. Revenge and hate. Many psychologists don't seem have a clue about attacks at schools, but it turns out all the attackers were bullied, just like Carrie White. And she got her revenge indeed How can a novelist understand human nature so much better than Ph.Ds? Maybe Ezra Pound was right: "The artist is the antenna of the race." Even if King had never written another word in his life, he'd never
be forgotten just because of this book.

Summary: Klassic King
Review: Oh my, this is great pre-modern King work. The introduction alone is great. I'm sure you have at least seen the movie, which I've heard is good, but in the words of (insert famous person here), "The book is always better than the movie." Anyway, back to the book: it switches from first-, second-person, and news/ interviews from the aftermath. I say "the aftermath," because after Carrie gets mildly frustrated, she kills 409 people ( and 18 are still missing ). Int he aftermath, a "White Commission" ( no doubt modeled after the Warren Commission ) is set up to investigate the "disaster". Conclusion: Carrie gets telekinetic (TK) powers. Carrie gets mad. Chamberlain gets destroyed. P.S. Sorry if I ruined the story for you :-)

Summary: Alright if you like King
Review: If you like Stephen King then you have to read this book, simply because it was his first published novel. However I was very disappointed and I am very glad I did not read this book as my first Stephen King experience. It, to me is simply an average book. Once in awhile there are some scary moments but all in all I felt the book was a bit of a let down. If you are not a die hard Stephen King fan I highly suggest skipping this book, but that's just me.

Summary: Early King, but still good
Review: I'm sure you've all seen the movie "Carrie" and it follows the book pretty closely. For most of the book, Carrie is a misfit girl with telekentic powers; an outcast from her high school social circle, just trying to fit in. She's severely sheletered by her mental religious mother that thinks breasts and the menstrual cycle are only given to women by God who are "bad". The punishments she brandishes on Carrie are shocking to say the least. But the ending is worth the wait.

Summary: obviously early in his career
Review: king's first book didn't show his real greatness. this is much more "simple" than his later works. we got a girl terrozised by her mother, teased by her schoolmates. however, it turns out she has powers. now there are some good psychological reflections, but not as great as the psychology in K's later works. some lovely details, not in so much depth as, yes, later. and K's writing style is much simpler here. not that it's bad, but it does not show K's greatness. but it's a good read, and not of his worst
