I think I would’ve gotten more into the story if there were traditional chapters.
For the first half of the book, I kept thinking to myself “Whatever Carrie does, they have it coming” (save for, like, 3 or 4 characters), but once she started getting her revenge, I stopped rooting for her. I didn’t dislike her, but I wanted her and everyone else to just…not.

However there are a couple things in this book I didn’t like one much more serious than the other.
The pacing of this book felt a little all over the place- it starts off relatively fast paced. However when reaching to the main event of prom night it ends up dominating the majority of the book and just feels to slow. With some scenes being retold multiple times from different perspectives- it was a nice idea but ended up making it feel a bit tedious to read.
One thing however that really left a bad taste in my mouth was the way violence against children (not Carrie) were glossed over and normalised.

Additionally, there were a few passages I felt belonged on r/menwritingwomen
All that said, I did enjoy Carrie - it was a good introduction to Stephen King - and I probably will go on to read more by him.
