A review by viljesvag
Carrie by Stephen King

dark tense fast-paced
  • Strong character development? No
  • Loveable characters? No
  • Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

3.5

Not King’s finest work, but a lot better than I expected! King has his uuh... mannerisms (you know, Guy Writing), so this being his first novel, where the premise is a teen girl discovering her latent telekinesis after she gets her first period...... you know? 

I really wish the formatting was better, though. I don’t think there is a single published version of this book (I looked at both digital and printed copies) where the intermingled excerpts from in-universe books/newspapers/etc are easily discernible from the "normal" narrative parts.
