Only lost points because the random mid-sentence thought brackets were very off-putting, occasionally would switch scenes with absolutely no indication towards doing so, and the numerous references to racist caricatures (while yes, a result of the time period) were unnecessary and gross. I'm aware these kinds of things come up in King's early books but they very much do affect my ratings.
Otherwise, enjoyed the reading experience immensely.

For being only a novella length book, Carrie really packs a punch in such a short number of pages. The use of mixed media from excepts, transcripts and newspaper clippings was a nice touch. Introduced before the reader has too much knowledge which helps to keep you on your toes just wondering how such catastrophic events come to be toward the end of the book. I am so glad that King's wife made him finish writing this novella.
Bullying is a topic close to my heart so I must admit some scenes made me quite uncomfortable but this didn't stop me from finishing the book. But boy, King sure does love his
