 * //__"CARRIE", Steven King __//**

Carrie, by Steven King is a horror thriller and a great read.

This story is about a telekinetic girl who is pushed to the edge of insanity from her peers pressuring her and making fun of her constantly in a small high school in Chamberlain, Maine. The characters of this story are, first, Carrie White a young girl who is mistreated by the teens at school and her family. Second, Mrs. Margaret White Carrie’s psychotic, abusive, Jesus freak of a mother who think the devil has cursed her with a telekinetic daughter (Carrie), for committing adultery. Next, Sue and Tommy a couple who at the beginning treat Carrie worse than dirt but eventually see what they are doing is really effecting her so they stop and actually try to be nice to her for a change and last, Ruth, Chris. And a few other girls and boys, who purposefully treat Carrie horribly and lead her to do the things in the future that impact everyone.

I really enjoyed this book it reminds me of how you shouldn’t judge a book by its cover because you don’t know what they are capable of and I enjoyed the shocking ending as well.

I recommend this book to anyone and everyone who is prepared to not want to stop reading and doesn’t mind occasional cussing, sex, drugs/alcohol, and gore. Besides those smalls parts of the book that can be graphic it is a wonderful book that I didn’t want to put down until I finished the last page.
