Book Review of Carrie

Carrie
Carrie
Author: Stephen King
Genres: Literature & Fiction, Horror
Book Type: Paperback
reviewed on
Helpful Score: 3


This book showcases King at his best! Carrie is a true horror classic. The story is about a girl who has never fit in due to her mother's crazy religious beliefs, until one fateful night when the taunting of her peers has gone too far. Like other King books, he gives a lot of detail on the characters' past and a look into what they are thinking. While it isn't as long as Stephen King's other books, Carrie has everything that a good horror story should have.
