leanneymu 's review for:

Carrie by Stephen King
4.5
challenging dark tense fast-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Complicated
Loveable characters: No
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

Incredibly compelling story - I read it in two days! King does a good job of getting in the minds of teenage girls, and the horror is palpable. I could do without the outdated 1970s attitudes though, which does really jar with modern sensibilities.
