Carrie by Steven King

Unpopular at school and subjected to her mother’s religious fanaticism at home, Carrie White does not have it easy. But while she may be picked on by her classmates, she has a gift she’s kept secret since she was a little girl: she can move things with her mind. Doors lock. Candles fall. Her ability has been both a power and a problem. And when she finds herself the recipient of a sudden act of kindness, Carrie feels like she’s finally been given a chance to be normal. She hopes that the nightmare of her classmates’ vicious taunts is over . . . but an unexpected and cruel prank turns her gift into a weapon of horror so destructive that the town may never recover.

My Thoughts

I am so thankful that this was not the first Steven king book I read. This is the only one I ever felt like the movie was better than the book. this book was hard to read because of the way he wrote it. it reads like a bunch of news articles instead of a story. this is only slightly better than the worst book I’ve ever read by him.
