I had a blast reading this. The way it is narrated is on point. There's nothing to spare. I loved carrie, my baby did nothing wrong, ever. The world building? Great, with that ending. Sue Snell? Also my baby. No, this is not a serios review. I loved every part of this story. It was so graphic in my mind, i felt I was watching a movie.

Carrie has a lot of messages behind it. Religious fanatism, misogyny, bullying, and it could be considered a critique on religion (i.e. Christianity) and on bullying, but, at the end of the day, it remains a classic among horror novels, and I'm sure it would have shocked me if I was reading it in the '70s.
