Summary:
Carrie is a young girl, living with her religiously fanatic mother, is bullied and mocked at school. At home, she is constantly reprimanded for being sinful.
Carrie also has the gift of telekinesis. When someone pulls yet another prank on her at prom, things get a bit crazy...
Review:
I really liked the writing style of this book. It's written, not only from Carries perspective, but also through the voice of girls who attended school with her, people who know her mother and in the end, through several police interviews. I thought that mixed things up a bit, and made it quite realistic.
The best part about this book was, at least for me, the scenes between Carrie and her mother. I also liked how you can tell how her upbringing affects Carrie and her thoughts. I really wished there was more of these parts, because I felt the story would have benefited from it. I would have liked to get to know Carrie a little bit more.
I really liked the ending, I thought it suited the story well.
I would recommend this to anyone who wants to read a short, creepy thriller. Perfect for Halloween.
You can get this book at The Book Depository* or at your local bookstore.
