Uncessary use of racial and homophobic slurs, the conclusion with carrie and momma felt a little short consdering how much build up there had been with trauma

If you removed every single female description and sex scene from this book, it would’ve been a solid 4 stars. The repetition of the “breast” descriptions were so frequent that it seemed like a joke, a book written by a 12 year old boy. Disappointed that this was my first experience reading a King novel, and it left a bad taste in my mouth. I would barely recommend it other than the purpose of being able to say you’ve read a horror classic.
