Carrie

jake_thompson_7669 shared a tip "Okay, this was tremendous. Love the cuts back and forth between narrative and interviews, letters, reports, etc. Funny to think he threw away this idea when it first came to him -- the image of a blood-soaked prom queen throwing things around with her mind is engrained in pop culture. I'll definitely come back to this one."

alexis_fertig shared a tip "The way this book makes you wish to the very last second that Carrie could have just had a wonderful prom night. It's almost a tragedy before a horror. The only problem of course is King going into disturbing and unnecessary detail about teenage girls' bodies and I know that's a mainstay with him so I probably won't be picking up another of his."

janie_martin shared a tip "Do you guys think Carrie is appropriate for a 15 year old? I’ve seen the movie I’m just wondering if the book has any graphic descriptions or anything?"

polythenepam shared a tip "Her teenage innocence pulled me in to the story. It’s hard to say what my favorite part was. The shower at the beginning is heartbreaking."

beverly_mooney shared a tip "King is one of my favourite authors. He is the King of Horror, but that is deceiving because he writes many different genres: horror, psychological thriller, coming of age, fantasy, apocalyptic, short stories. I recommend them all. Misery, The Green Mile, The Dark Tower, etc etc etc"

lena_miah shared a tip "I saw the movie first, then read the book and then like a nerd, rewatched the movie. Honestly, the book was sooooook much better. There are details in the book that the movie can not capture."

natalie_dunn_67 shared a tip "Hi Amber. This might be my favorite Stephen King novel. It's a bit different than the movie. It's a quick read and the story is revealed through her therapy. I liked yhe psycological approach."

teri_weatherbee shared a tip "This is definitely a quick read, especially for Stephen King. It is written in collections of articles and testimonies of the events rather than from the point of view of a narrator or specific character which makes it quite different from the movies. Great read."

cali_cal shared a tip "Not necessarily a favorite part but I like the fact there is no big hero. Carrie is able to do what she does without someone jumping in to save the day."

kelsey_solem shared a tip "I read Christine after Carrie, and that was awesome with the details versus the movie version. Do you have other spooky recommendations as such?? Its overwhelming with how many options there are, I dont know what to pick next!😅"

cait_8165 shared a tip "Gerald's Game, Rose Madder, and Pet Semetary are some of my favorites of Stephen King. If you like horror and suspense and don't mind vulgarity the first two are great. Right now I'm reading Misery and it's got an interesting storyline as well."

mickey_kay shared a tip "All i gotta say is "Plug it up!" No its a fabulous book i read the whole thing except the last 20 pages because King screwed it up horribly but im still giving this book a huge thumbs up"

caitlan_castle shared a tip "I didn’t love this book like how I love Cujo, Pet Semetary and the girl who loved Tom Gordon, but it’s a good story in its own way."

emma_hopkins shared a tip "written so well, has a very eerie vibe to it throughout the whole book. from the very beginning it starts off with a bang. very short read, but hard to read just bc of how emotionally draining carrie’s story is! recommended 100% :)"

emma_rose_3003 shared a tip "This is the Stephen King novel I suggest to people who have struggled to get into King previously. It feels like a King novel, but it isn’t super long, and it it’s really fast-paced."

costanza_bugiani shared a tip "Hi! Loved Carrie, love Stephen King! Right now I'm reading a good book about getting rid of plastic, written by a Greenpeace leader. What about you?:)"

krystle-face_hagen shared a tip "It's been so many years since I read it, that I honestly couldn't say. Sounds like it's time to dust it off and pick it up again! Sorry for the lame response."
