I really enjoyed the book. People always compare the movies, but after reading the book I'm not really fully satisfied with any of them anymore, at least the portrayals of Carrie. I read it in practically one day, it was well paced and easy to read in one sitting. Carrie is a brilliant character, and I liked that she was less redeemable. It was good to get several peoples point of view as well as snippets from the aftermath and news stories dotted in, it added a lot to the overall world building. 
Sometimes Stephen King is a bit of a freak with high school students but we already knew that.
