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.

I don't think it's awful, either. It doesn't live up to the hype - except the hype where King writes strangely about (underage) female characters. I do not believe that the vivid descriptions of 16 year old girls' breasts added anything to the story.
I don't think it's a thriller or horror book. I didn't experience suspension.
I found it primarily sad. King did succeed in making this an emotional book, and the conflicted feelings of Carrie about her mother and her classmates were convincing. Seeing her snap was sad.
