This book started off quite slow but it didn’t feel like an issue, but even when I was told it would pick up in the second half it felt quite repetitive. We were given the same information from sometimes three or four different perspectives at times.
Additionally, there were a few passages I felt belonged on r/menwritingwomen
All that said, I did enjoy Carrie - it was a good introduction to Stephen King - and I probably will go on to read more by him.
