Besides the occasional yikesy moments, such as King going into detail about what the bodies of high schoolers look/feel like and the use of a racial slur to describe a character's lips pouting, I think this is a great read that has an extremely interesting way of presenting information through police reports, excerpts from fictional books, and fake interviews of characters from Carrie alongside the standard third-person omniscient perspective a lot of books take on.

Una historia que todos conocemos a pequeños o grandes rasgos, en mi caso fue a pequeños. El caso es que yo quería comenzar a leer al rey del misterio y terror por esta recomendación, no obstante me resultó de lo más predecible e incluso soso; creo que eso se puede deber a lo poco impresionables que nos hemos vuelto después de artículos y media altamente modificados por la tecnología y otros recursos de escritura.

¿Esta ha sido una lectura entretenida para mi? Sí, podríamos decir que sí. No obstante me resultó, por desgracia, indiferente. Salí igual que entré, no creo que me haya aportado nada nuevo.
No creo que sea culpa del libro en sí sino de otro tipo de media al que yo he sido expuesta y que tienen un grado más pesado de terror ya que es un género que adoro en películas, series, libros...

Si vuelvo a leer un libro de Stephen King, espero que me entre mejor.

So this us the first Book that Stephen King published? Now I understand why he's one of the most famous writers in the world! This book is amazing. All points of view! All the investigations! Wow! As always much better than the movie. King just won another fan.
