3.0

The reason why I'm giving it 3 stars and not 2 is because I knew the plot a little. I also knew it is modern gothic novel so I was expecting certain elements in it, however I really didn't like it. It was my first King's book and I'm trurly disappointed with it. The characters were bland and I felt no sympathy towards our protagonist Carrie. The random interviews and articles were pulling out the mystery. I also hated how it ended. I can't even thinks about the momenta that I enjoyed because there's non.  I still think 3 stars is too generous...
