All 242 pages are flawless; The story is about a girl who has some supernatural powers and the journey into High schools of the 60s and the religious mindsets around that time. Her limit is reached, causing her to use her powers to seek her revenge against her bullies, and ultimately everyone in her wake. This book makes you feeling many emotions and my heart broke for the abuse and sheltered life Carrie had to endure. The flow of the book is gripping; from the story telling of the events and the snippets of interviews and articles that followed 'Prom Night'. I was sucked in from the first page and read in the in 2 sittings.

I took off half a star because I thought that some of the mentions of breasts were a bit needed - like I get the thing about dirty pillows but do we need to know about Sue Snell's 'firm breasts'? I don't think so?
Loved it anyway though.

The jumping around from POV to POV to newspapers and writings of other characters telling the story was done in such a bizarre way. Like his previous books, this also included (despite being only 242 pages) descriptions of and interviews with people that really did not matter. The entire part three could've been left in the drawer as a draft and nothing more.
So all in all, not a great read.
