Read recently: Carrie by Stephen Kingg

Posted by Shannon C. on May 28th, 2006 filed in B reviews, book reviews

For some reason, I never actually finished this book either of the two times I started it. I don’t remember why.

However, I finished it within a day this time. And I thought it was wonderful. I thought King captured the horror and the pathos of what life must have been like for Carrie, a teenager with telekenetic abilities.

The writing was also a lot tighter than some of King’s other books, and I liked his use of foreshadowing. I thought it was effective that the reader knows the tragedy of the events in advance.

So, in essence, a very good read.
Eta: I think I’m going to give this one a B+ for a grade. It’s not my favorite King, although it’s still very good.
