Not really sure what I was getting myself into other than girl with powers seeks revenge. 

Book turned out to be a much easier read than The Shining. Having chapters would have been easier for me imo to keep pace instead of stopping before/after an article or excerpt or a line break.

Ending was okay -

bruh he tied it back to periods bc of how the first chapter started 💀

.

I tried to list the content warnings as best as I could - some may be incorrect.

what is up with SK and boobs bruh .-.

Idk if I’ll ever be able to give a King book 5 stars because of the amount of slurs he uses unnecessary. That aside I’m very worried about people who say that this is a “good for her” book. It’s a tragedy and I feel sympathy for Carrie but

killing all of your classmates for revenge is definitely school shooter energy, please get help.

other than that it’s a pretty normal Stephen King book. The way Margaret and Misery were written were almost exactly the same. And he really cannot write convincing dialogue for women. But at the end of the day he’s able to pull you in and tell a good story so what can I say.

A nice quick read and a classic for a reason, Carrie tells the legendary story of Carietta White, the daughter of a crazed fundamentalist Christian woman who is fiercely bullied at her high school and the repercussions this life has. 

Only lost points because the random mid-sentence thought brackets were very off-putting, occasionally would switch scenes with absolutely no indication towards doing so, and the numerous references to racist caricatures (while yes, a result of the time period) were unnecessary and gross. I'm aware these kinds of things come up in King's early books but they very much do affect my ratings. 

Otherwise, enjoyed the reading experience immensely.
