This book started off quite slow but it didn’t feel like an issue, but even when I was told it would pick up in the second half it felt quite repetitive. We were given the same information from sometimes three or four different perspectives at times.

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.

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.

Not necessarily bad, just gets boring at times. Reading Stephen King in English as a non-native speaker was.. an experience?
