Carrie by Stephen King
4.0
Quick edit as I’ve reread Carrie again in 2023 after 6 years :
I still love this book and a lot resonates within me regarding Carrie. I was bullied as a teen and some of the bullying in this book sets my teeth on edge. As it was written in the 70s and I’m older now and was reading this in order to listen along with the Derry public radio podcast but I did seem to notice more racism, sexism and prejudice reading from a different perspective. I still love this novel and I think Carrie is bad ass (don’t judge me lol) and I applaud her as our anti-hero. Yes King writes from a child’s perspective quite adeptly, but I didn’t find him overly sympathetic ah all towards Carrie’s character.
Stephen King's ability to write from the teenage female perspective is uncanny. The thoughts, feelings, emotions etc that he is able to convey is astounding.
I love this book. I love vintage King. Carrie is a true horror classic and I suggest it to anyone who loves King, anyone who has ever bullied or been bullied - this one is for you.
5 out of 5!
