Carrie by Stephen King tells the story of a bullied girl who decided she wouldn't be bullied anymore. No one expected her to demonstrate it in such a gruesome way. I was able to empathize with Carrie and even understand her reasons. It was not the proper way, but I get why she did it. I felt uncomfortable during the second part since it was a lot to take, and the way it's written was kind of confusing sometimes, but I enjoyed this book. My first Stephen King's book. I'll definitely read more.
