I can see why people might not enjoy this, but I absolutely loved it。 I love how the book switches between classic narrative and extracts from articles, court records etc to build a full picture and extend the story beyond the basic plot line。

Probably a harsh rating and I'm sure for its time it was terrifying。 It's a good book and I quite liked the structure but I can't say it gripped at any point。 Probably a harsh rating and I'm sure for its time it was terrifying。 It's a good book and I quite liked the structure but I can't say it gripped at any point。 。。。more

Wrote an essay on this, comparing Poe's Ligeia to Carrie。 Wrote an essay on this, comparing Poe's Ligeia to Carrie。 。。。more

I really enjoyed the story! The inserts of all the articles and research documents and post event interviews were a little distracting at times though。 Not my favorite but definitely still good。

Un clásico, de lectura imprescindible para conocer a Stephen King。 Una chica que sufre bullying en la escuela y el maltrato de su madre en su casa, Carrie White, descubre que tiene un poder aterrador, y como una historia de superhéroes en reversa, su estrés, sus problemas, el continuo acoso, llevan a que la historia escale hacia un final explosivo (por no decir más)。 King creó una de las proms más infames de la historia literaria yanqui con esta novela。 Todos sus temas clásicos están presentes: Un clásico, de lectura imprescindible para conocer a Stephen King。 Una chica que sufre bullying en la escuela y el maltrato de su madre en su casa, Carrie White, descubre que tiene un poder aterrador, y como una historia de superhéroes en reversa, su estrés, sus problemas, el continuo acoso, llevan a que la historia escale hacia un final explosivo (por no decir más)。 King creó una de las proms más infames de la historia literaria yanqui con esta novela。 Todos sus temas clásicos están presentes: el fanatismo religioso, los traumas de la niñez y adolescencia, el despertar sexual。 La recomiendo。 。。。more

Skipped almost half of the book, I just went fast forward to the prom scene because everything here is predictable。 The climax of this was a bomb! Other parts were boring, but it's okay Skipped almost half of the book, I just went fast forward to the prom scene because everything here is predictable。 The climax of this was a bomb!

I recently decided to read Stephen King in order of publication and realised in doing this that I've never actually read Carrie。 King's first novel is short and sweet, an easy premise told as an aftermath through essays, newspaper clippings and interviews which allows the reader to have most of the answers before the climax to allow us to empathise with Carrie。 Its nothing special, but its a particularly raw and simplifying format which King uses to grow。 I recently decided to read Stephen King in order of publication and realised in doing this that I've never actually read Carrie。 King's first novel is short and sweet, an easy premise told as an aftermath through essays, newspaper clippings and interviews which allows the reader to have most of the answers before the climax to allow us to empathise with Carrie。 Its nothing special, but its a particularly raw and simplifying format which King uses to grow。 。。。more

Not my favorite of Kings works but still very much enjoyable。。。 better than the movie。

Parte 1 - ok, meio parado。Parte 2 - já achei mais legal。Eu gostei do livro。 A leitura acabou não me prendendo tanto e realmente demorei mais do que eu esperava, mas entendo que talvez seja porque eu já conhecia a história e sabia o que ia acontecer。

I have, of course, seen the movie long ago。 And of course, the book is much better than I remember the movie being。 I had Sissy Soacek in my mind when I started reading, but that image was quickly replaced by King’s description of Carrie。 I found the lives of the other characters interesting, in how they related to Carrie, particularly Sue, Tommy, and the school administrators。 The portrait of a young woman who has lived a life filled with ridicule and bullying was interesting, but more interest I have, of course, seen the movie long ago。 And of course, the book is much better than I remember the movie being。 I had Sissy Soacek in my mind when I started reading, but that image was quickly replaced by King’s description of Carrie。 I found the lives of the other characters interesting, in how they related to Carrie, particularly Sue, Tommy, and the school administrators。 The portrait of a young woman who has lived a life filled with ridicule and bullying was interesting, but more interesting were those who were able to show some decency towards her, despite being part of the problem。Carrie’s mother was a character I had no sympathy for, nor do I think we were meant to sympathize with her。 Poor Carrie。。。she tried to assert herself, but it came too late。 Ultimately, I really enjoyed this book。 I didn’t care for the parenthetical interruptions, but that’s just one of those things along does。 。。。more

First of all, the first chapter is half the book! Big horror fan, made me appreciate the movie WAY more。 Check out the losers club podcast for great commentary!

Esperaba un poco más para ser tan nombrado, pero, no esta de sobra decir que el colapso final es tan melancólico como siempre, finales en los que todo llega a su punto, es un buen libro de mi estimado king

3。5 Stars - I've read a lot of King over the years but I never read his first novel, Carrie。 It is amazing to see how he has evolved as a writer since then。 I loved the epistolary format of the book with the story being told through articles, letters, and interviews。 I didn't expect to like the story as much as I did, but I felt so bad for Carrie。 Everyone is her life was truly awful to her。 The locker room scene stands out as one of the most horrible scenes of teenage bullying I have ever read 3。5 Stars - I've read a lot of King over the years but I never read his first novel, Carrie。 It is amazing to see how he has evolved as a writer since then。 I loved the epistolary format of the book with the story being told through articles, letters, and interviews。 I didn't expect to like the story as much as I did, but I felt so bad for Carrie。 Everyone is her life was truly awful to her。 The locker room scene stands out as one of the most horrible scenes of teenage bullying I have ever read and her relationship with her mom was physically, mentally, and emotionally abusive。 This was a super quick read, which I would recommend if you ever wanted to read one of King's earlier works。 。。。more

Pues de el Bullying que tanto se da hoy en día y lo mucho que puede romper a una persona。 El fanatismo y es que todas las malas actitudes, los malos comentarios, sean pequeños o grandes, llevan a un punto de quiebre en el que ya no se separa de algo sano y algo malo。 King de una manera artística se podrá decir nos narra una historia en la que muchos factores llevan a carrie a un punto de quiebre en el que al final los arrepentimientos sobran, pero las ganas de seguir hacen falta, me encantó。 。。。more

Så ekstremt mange dårlige beskrivelser av kvinner。。。。 Men writing womenGod oppbygning av spenning og man hadde lyst til å lese videre。 Samtidig trakk den seg ut etter et visst punkt

Great to read where it all started。I had never read it before but i knew how it all ends thanks to it being referenced it many movies/tv shows。And although i loosely knew the story nothing compares to reading King's words on the page。 He is a master storyteller that knows how to set the tone and make your skin crawl with the right words。The story of Carrie is heartbreaking, (girls can be so mean) bullied at school, constantly the butt of every joke。 Even her homelife is tough with her zealot mot Great to read where it all started。I had never read it before but i knew how it all ends thanks to it being referenced it many movies/tv shows。And although i loosely knew the story nothing compares to reading King's words on the page。 He is a master storyteller that knows how to set the tone and make your skin crawl with the right words。The story of Carrie is heartbreaking, (girls can be so mean) bullied at school, constantly the butt of every joke。 Even her homelife is tough with her zealot mother claiming everything is a sin and sinners must be punished。When she discovers her "power" she starts to find her backbone and stand up for herself。But everything seems to be going alright for Carrie when one of the popular boys asks her to the prom, this will be her night, her moment to prove she is more than the punchline to a joke。。。。right?The only problem i had with this book was the way it was broken up, not by chapters but with sections of excerpts from case studies on TK, or other books。 It made it a little confusing at times。 Or having to read through an update broadcast in the midst of the action sort of took you out of the rhythm of the story。All in all it was a good short read。 。。。more

El libro está muy interesante pero a veces puede resultar tedioso por todos los fragmentos de cartas, periódicos o investigaciones realizadas por la tragedia final。 Ya había visto la película hace tiempo pero no recordaba que fuera así de devastador el final。

Primo suo libro e primo libro che leggo suo。Particolare la struttura。 Un sacco di indizi sparsi fin dall'inizio su quanto sta per accadere che proseguendo con la lettura si conretizzano e diventano sempre più chiari。La storia è fuori di testa, capisco perché sia stato censurato nelle scuole statuintensi e capisco anche perché abbia riscosso così tanto successo。 Primo suo libro e primo libro che leggo suo。Particolare la struttura。 Un sacco di indizi sparsi fin dall'inizio su quanto sta per accadere che proseguendo con la lettura si conretizzano e diventano sempre più chiari。La storia è fuori di testa, capisco perché sia stato censurato nelle scuole statuintensi e capisco anche perché abbia riscosso così tanto successo。 。。。more
