Stephen King - Carrie

Pros: well written
Cons: not long enough

This was the very first Stephen King book that I read and the one that got me hooked. I was about 14 when I read it and remember hiding it incase my parents thought it too old for me.

It tells the story of Carrie, her overbearing, devoutly...

Pros: good horror novel
Cons: none

CARRIE is the name of a book, written by none other than STEPHEN KING (THE PRINCE OF HORROR). This was one of the scariest books that I have ever read. I seen the movie first, but the book was BETTER!
It is about a teen aged girl that just didn't...

Pros: The book brings on much emotion, and it's hard to put down.
Cons: The feeling of emptiness at the end.

King has spawned life into Carrie. The book is unbelievable. You won't be able to put it down. It's the kind of book that you just have to find out what happens next; "just a few more pages." But after the few more pages, you still can't...

Pros: Realistic enveloping plot, classic tale of revenge, enjoyable
Cons: Graphic and disturbing images of violence and intolerance

Mmm, this book is an angst ridden teenager's blueprint for revenge fantasies. Take one misfit, rejected teen, add a psychotic Fundamentalist mother and you get one miserable kid... throw in telekinetic powers, and you've got:
Stephen King's first...

Pros: Storyline
Cons: Can drag sometimes

Although King does deliver a powerhouse story with his first published novel, it is not one of his greatest. It is the story of Carrie White, an ostracized high school girl who has incredible powers of telekinesis. It is a good story made better by...

Pros: ???
Cons: ???

I have read the book, and seen the movie. The book is much more mystic and compelling.
Carrie, who is a young girl has a very strange supernatural power called Telekenisis. This is the ability to move objects.
There are very strange...

Pros: Sue Snell's Character
Cons: The Sad Ending

I find it exciting and scary, that King got so deep into the religious aspect of life. The mother of Carrie, is extremely religious, but in an uncontrolled, frightening manner. I love the way King shows Carrie's fear mixed with love for this psychotic...

Pros: Wonderful detail, creates empathy
Cons: none

Carrie-Daughter of severely psychotic bible thumper and uneducated in the ways of the woman, until the gruesome shower scene...Stephen King is one of the most absorbing authors I have come across, I may be a little late, but Carrie was my first novel by...

Pros: Great, a horror masterpiece
Cons: There must be cons, but I don´t know which

Alright, alright... This is my third review, and I just write about King, but what can I do, he´s a genius. The way Carrie flows, with quotations of "books", newspaper stories, and flashbacks, just make me think, thank you Stephen´s mother for bringing...

Pros: Well written (to an extent) with newspaper articles etc.
Cons: None

This book was ok, not one of his better books. Once again, the way he writes amazes me. The way he combines newspaper articles and testimonies in his books (including this one) is a great way to fill the reader in on the past of the elements in his book....
