I think this is a very good book that shouldn't be enjoyed as an audiobook. Just doesn't seem the right medium for it.

Stephen King does always manage to grab me and put me into the world and setting of his story.

This is the first Stephen King book i’ve ever read and I really enjoyed it! I think this is very well deserving of its horror classic title! 

I really liked the vivid descriptions, I could really see the scenes in my head with how they were written. I also really like Carrie as a character, i think she’s really fascinating and i’m a huge fan of books about religious trauma so this was definitely a good choice for me. 

I’m knocking one star from my rating purely for the unnecessary use of the n word, i don’t think that was needed whatsoever and i know this was written in the 70s but still, it wasn’t acceptable then and it isn’t acceptable now.

Just…wow. I didn’t think this book would be as amazing as it is. I knew I would love it, but I’m probably going to obsess over it. I don’t blame Carrie one bit though. All I can say is, “Good for her.”
