4.0

Really appreciate how detailed and informative the book was on the fictional telekinesis trait the main character, Carrie, exhibits. However, reading it in the modern age the book does have some racial slurs and uncomfortable descriptions of the characters. Would still recommend reading if you’re looking for gore and a dark story.
