Carrie by Stephen King
4.0
'Carrie White is no ordinary girl'
Carrietta White is a god-fearing introverted young woman that's about to graduate high school. She has had a hard life, between having a dangerous religious fanatic for a mother and being degraded and bullied at school...but only so much pressure can applied before Carrie breaks and causes biblical turmoil - an angel with a flaming sword.
'Carrie' was such a delightful return from a brief vacation from King's work. This book grew arms, grabbed either side of my face and pulled me in every time I opened it up. The tension is absolutely spot-on and it always, as unorthodox as it is, reveals something major before the event has happened.
When you read this book, you'll realise that the event was not what you were waiting for, it was the storytelling of how it happend.
