A review by griffithxjohnson
Carrie by Stephen King

dark emotional sad tense medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? No
• Loveable characters? It's complicated
• Diverse cast of characters? Yes
• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

3.5

Ahead of its time with its thoughtful & vulnerable subjects. King sure knows how to write characters worthy of hatred. The different formats are unique but cause the pacing to jump too much. I respect the boldness to make it bleak & hopeless.
