Apparently I'm in the minority that actually enjoyed it? I finished this in one day. If you liked SK's older books like The Shining, Pet Sematary, you'll like Carrie!

Also I think Stephen King forgot how "suggestive" the ending was. Like he was going to write a sequel but forgot? Or decided not to?
