Would be 5 stars if it weren’t for the random and unnecessary inclusion of breasts throughout (breast used as a verb, breastless as an adjective, breasts being described when they have nothing to do with anything going on). Stephen King is a good writer but still a man at the end of the day (and writing this in the 70s, no less).

Carrie left me hallow,sad, and angry to be honest. For Stephen King have this be his first published book it's really amazing. He has a bad reputation of having bad endings but this one is bitter sweet.
I Really enjoyed the overall story however I found the ultimate ending of those who deserved to suffer the most like Margaret,Chris, and her boy toy, really lacking and they deserved the worst things possible. I also feel sue who did seem to have repented somewhat still had this arrogance and selfishness and did not care about Tommy as much as she tells herself. It also just feels tragic how Tommy went out especially when he was starting to see Carrie differently. Seemingly Carrie was replacing sue in his eyes.
Overall this is a great read and really this is more of a tragedy than horror.
I still feel like it speaks out to modern society where we throw the word community around like it means something but when shit hits the fan everyone is out for themselves. This is especially true with the religious cults and fanatics we don't put a stop to sinister and fallacious beliefs even though it degrades society. I'm sure there are a bunch of carries out there without super powers to at least get a speck of retribution.

I keep telling myself that Steven King books aren’t worth it, but I always want to read more horror and he’s the main option. Too much sex/profanity to be enjoyable, but the basic premise is interesting. Appeals to people who have been bullied.
Todo lo relacionado a este libro es perfecto, desde su estructura y el uso de testimonio ficticio para hacer más creíble, más cercana a uno.
La mejor parte de todo es que Carrie le dio su merecido a todos aquellos que se rieron de ella, desde sus compañeras de curso hasta si propia madre. No entenderé porque Stephen King mató a uno de los personajes que ni siquiera tuvo que ver 😭, pero creo que eso hace la historia más increíble y los alcances de la telepatía.
El final con el testimonio de otra persona donde su familiar podría tener poderes es lo más interesante, quizás King nos hablé de que habrá más justicia para ella que con la pobre Carrie.
Si quieres leer a King, sí o sí debes leer este libro, recomendado. 😊💜
