Carrie Review
Why read Carrie? ... Carrie is Stephen Kings first published novel. ... Carrie is probably the least read of Kings books, which is really surprising. ... Kings novel markets the high school age teenager, people who would really relate to the story of Carrie and her surrounding school. ... The plot summary of Carrie is a bit unbelievable. Carrie White, the main character, was the odd one at school; the one whose reflexes were always off in games, whose clothes never really fit, and who never got the point of a joke. ... Carrie White, menaced by bullies at school and her overzealously mother at home, gradually discovers that she has telekinetic powers, powers that eventually turned on her tormentors. ... This act of kindness, as spontaneous as the vicious jokes of her classmates, offered Carrie a new identity. ... A cruel practical joke which consisted of pouring a bucket full of pigs blood on Carrie, forever changed things. Carrie White could produce motion in objects with out contact.
