4.5

A masterpiece of religious trauma and the violence that it yields. Most terrifying to me is the stark sign, full of certainty, self righteousness, and wrath as ever, left in the White’s yard at the book’s conclusion. All of King’s hallmarks are here from the start- this has endured fifty years for very good reason.

3.5

Ensimmäinen Stephen King, jonka olen lukenut (toki myös Kingin esikoisromaani).

Kirja on ehkä eniten ahdistava ja kamala, ja on mahdotonta olla tuntematta myötätuntoa useimpia hahmoja kohtaan. Kirjan tarina on loistava kertomus ulkopuolisuudesta, julmuudesta ja välittämisen merkityksestä. Carrien äiti saa oikeasti raivon heräämään.

Kirja on oikeasti hyvä, mutta ei ehkä ominta genreä. Ja välillä kirjan muoto (sekaisin eri näkökulmia, katkelmia kirjoista ja kuulusteluista) tuntui haastavalta.
