CARRIE is the novel which set him on the road to the Number One bestselling author King is today.Carrie White is no ordinary girl.Carrie White has the gift of telekinesis.To be invited to Prom Night by Tommy Ross is a dream come true for Carrie - the firststep towards social acceptance by her high school colleagues.But events will take a decidedly macabre turn on that horrifying and endless night as sheis forced to exercise her terrible gift on the town that mocks and loathes her . . . Review: Absolutely gorgeous - The cover is absolutely gorgeous. The paper quality is also good. The text size is big( bigger than the font size in introduction) . This makes it easier to read. The novel is relatively short. Photos don’t do justice to how beautiful this book is. It arrived undamaged also. Review: Really interesting. - The book about a girl, I guess. She's in high-school and treated horribly. She's an unusual girl, and the daughter of a extremely religious mother who thinks of menstruation as a curse/punishment by God, and breasts as "dirtypillows". In school, she's pranked and teased and laughed at until you're not surprised that she has a psychotic break. And a psychotic break she does have, near the end when she kills a lot of people with her telekinetic abilities. And that's not a spoiler. We find out pretty early on that Carrie kills many people in her highschool. The specific circumstances and what really broke her, not to mention the extent of the harm, is more or less hidden but we get a general idea of what will happen. That's what I was talking about with the format. About a third of the book (maybe more) is in the form of reports, interviews, stories or analysis of the incident. The fact that this is set in the normal world in which telekinetic abilities are not supposed to exist is a topic of major discussion. And I really liked the format. Most of the time, I'm wary of books that use different formats because it's often used as a gimmick rather that something that contributes to the story (like in Everything Everything). But here, the discussions and reports regarding the incident were very interesting. They not only gave us a good study on how people would react to such a thing, but also created a sense of dread, which I'm guessing was the purpose. The story of what happened with Carrie White is a big deal and it was treated that way, but the reports never seemed to keep in mind the fact that Carrie was just a young girl, a human being, and not a thing that happened to people. That's exactly how stuff goes down in real life and I like that King understood and portrayed that. Also, Carrie's perspective was definitely enlightening. That and the reports and stuff I mentioned were my favourite part of the novel. The rest, the perspectives from other people, I couldn't really get in to. Especially Chris, who you could call the "villain" of the story. Her character just didn't click with me. Another thing I didn't love about the book was the street and shop names. I get that, with King, the towns his stories are set in are just as important as the people, but the constant telling of what avenue or street we were on got confusing and became a hassle. I also thing King may have overdone it with the extent of bullying that goes on in school, even with teachers involved; though I did like the principal. But maybe the severity was necessary for the end result. Also, I don't know what went down in American school in the 70s so... I can't really say for sure. Overall, this was a book that was very different from what I was expecting. It was very interesting. I liked seeing the different angles from which the incident was viewed. And the fact that this was King's first novel... safe to say that I'm looking forward to read more. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #31,045 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #136 in Horror (Books) #983 in Crime, Thriller & Mystery (Books) #1,415 in Contemporary Fiction (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 18,528 Reviews | ## Images ![CARRIE (RIESSUE) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91MxfiwK-IL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Absolutely gorgeous *by A***A on 9 August 2024* The cover is absolutely gorgeous.
