Review
Okay so this was my first Stephen King book and I think I
fell in love with his books with just this one. I really enjoyed Carrie it was
a very interesting story about a bullied girl and how it all went wrong and got
pushed too far. I feel like it would be a good book for high school bullies to
read because it really shows reaction to continuous bullying, although a bit
extreme. It made me think about all the crap things I had said and done to
people and made me keep wanting to try change that. To me this is a good book
when it makes me think about real life things rather than just the fictional
worlds and story's I engross my self in. I also sympathized with the main
character, Carrie because of the way she was bullied reminded me off a few
years ago in my schooling so I think
this really helped me connect to her and feel what she was feeling. I loved the
articles and books written after the events of the book that were slipped in
right from start to finished, I felt this helped with the anticipation and
foreshadowing of the end. You knew what was going ti happen. But how was it
going to play out?
I noticed a couple of inconsistency's in the writing just
two but can only remember one. One one
page it is a bag of screws and on the next it was a bag of nails. This bothered
me just the tiniest of bits but was soon forgotten. I also found a bit around
the middle a little hard to get though compared with the beginning and the end. Not sure why just wasn't quite as interesting.
Over all I really enjoyed this book. It made me think and
cry and a whole bunch of other emotions so to me that is a good book. I would
recommend this book to anyone with an interest in bullying, horror and
telekinesis I cant wait to watch the two different film adaptations and to read
more of Stephen Kings books in the future.
