CARRIE is a potboiler about a severely put-upon high school girl who discovers she can control the telekinetic powers with which she has been genetically endowed and who, eventually, uses them to exact revenge on her tormentors. Then she really goes crazy.That she is never entirely sane is understan...

I am not that familiar of Stephen King's writings. My English teacher back in college is a fan but I never listened to her which makes me a late bloomer in reading the books. What can I say.. like most of all the first timers, there was a doubt, a resistance. Knowing it's his first book, I will give...

"I recently rewatched the Brian Depalma movie but then realized I had never read the book. I must say the movie, as is usually the case with King, falls short of the book. I hear the new movie comes closer,but we'll have to wait and see.Great read, great first effort from the man who would be King."

3 dias en leer este libro. Es corto pero muestra lo que me costo dejarlo. Lo lei hasta en mi poco tiempo del descanso de mi trabajo, de camino a casa, antes de salir al gimnasio, antes de entrar a la escuela y en las altas horas de la noche, tanto que ya es la 1 de la mañana y yo me encuentro escrib...

So, sit back, flip on your light, and remember, there may or may not be something lurking under yo...

Stephen King's Carrie is something of a disappointment. It's his first published novel and that's pretty obvious. The idea is interesting enough, a young girl, raised by an extremely religious, slightly unhinged mother, outcast and ostracized by her peers, is pushed too far and takes revenge into he...

Carrie is King's first published novel. I tend to prefer King's earlier novels--they're tauter and nothing is scarier in my opinion than his next two novels, Salem's Lot and The Shining which display him at the top of his powers; it's those two novels I'd recommend as an introduction to King. That s...

Thank heavens that's over. So, not a fan. I've seen the old Carrie film with Sissy Spacek and I guess I liked it, but it didn't leave a lasting impression either. Not the book though, the book is horrid. Yes, the story is the same as in the film and I can appreciate the idea behind it, but the s...
