Summary

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 first step towards social acceptance by high school colleagues. But events will take a decidedly macabre turn on that horrifying and endless night as she is forced to exercise her terrible gift on the town that mocks and loathes her...

Great story

I really enjoyed the book especially being narrated by Carrie herself aka Sissey Spacek. the downside of this audio book is the quality of the recording. It felt you was listening to an old tape format. Highly recommend and it is not scary so don't be afraid to listen.

Great book

I'm a big fan of the movie so it was such to treat to find out it was Sissy Spacek narrating this. She does a great job and I found it really fun to listen to.

I absolutely loved hearing this book and it's narration by sissy spacek. it really did cover a whole lot of carries story and it made you think twice before messing with the school weirdo.

Undecided

I've just finished this book and I struggled with it I have to admit. Firstly the narration was amazing and the only reason I finished it I think.
My main issue with it is it switches perspective far too often and to me that interrupts the flow of the story. I can kind of understand what SK was trying to do by adding these "extras" (such as court documents etc) but it really didn't work for me and I found myself sometimes struggling to know who I was listening to at times. I wonder if it might have been easier and worked better had you been reading the physical book but when you are listening, going straight from Carrie's to Sue's perspective could be a bit confusing sometimes.
I'm a bit disappointed I didn't enjoy this one more I have to admit as I really enjoyed both IT and The Shining.

Fantastic

wow this book is incredible! I had never watched the
movie before so, so I was definitely excited to give this a go. Stephen King once again didn’t disappoint and had me crawling out my skin at some point. this one is definitely my favourite so far!

scary

it's a haunting, scary look into telekinesis and bullying.
Bullying still happens now. Even between girls.
It's heartbreaking.
you can sort of understand why kids commit suicide. Because sometimes it's the only way out.

a favourite

I have loved this book for years and have read it several times - the audio book was read very well I think, I love the book how it gives the story more depth, and the reports make it feel like it really happened.

Read after other King books

interesting to see where it all began, and an intriguing format and theme, but not as absorbing as his other work
