Carrie has always been different. She has also been relentlessly bullied for being different. Raised by an ultra-religious mother, Carrie is taught that people are evil. After years of taunting, prom night is the final straw. Through her terrifying ability of telekinesis, Carrie gets revenge on the town that never treated her right.

This has been on my TBR for a long time, and I'm so glad I finally read it. King's first attempt at a novel was amazing. His ability to draw you into the story is unmatched. He paints Carrie as such a beten down character, both by her mother and her classmates, that you can't help but feel proud of her when she finally gets her revenge. There is definitely more Stephen King in my future.
