All 242 pages are flawless; The story is about a girl who has some supernatural powers and the journey into High schools of the 60s and the religious mindsets around that time. Her limit is reached, causing her to use her powers to seek her revenge against her bullies, and ultimately everyone in her wake. This book makes you feeling many emotions and my heart broke for the abuse and sheltered life Carrie had to endure. The flow of the book is gripping; from the story telling of the events and the snippets of interviews and articles that followed 'Prom Night'. I was sucked in from the first page and read in the in 2 sittings.

It's also emotionally devastating. Not only the horrific abuse Carrie suffers at the hands of her mother, but the awful way she is treated by her peers. And despite this, you can see genuine remorse and kindness in Sue and Tommy's actions, which makes it all the more heartbreaking to know from the outset that everything is driving towards the inevitable, horrifying conclusion.
