This was not the book for me. I found it so boring! The characters were infuriating and the pacing was terrible. Have to say I enjoyed the movie better.

This writing layout is strange and dense, and I can't decide whether I like it.

I’m always upset when I think about Carrie. Her experience on this planet was so fucked.

I like Stephen King bc I know what to expect, so I had a good enough time! But definitely wasn’t one of my favorites.
