I can’t believe this was Stephen King’s first book. I absolutely loved it. I was beyond captivated with the story and characters – it was a page-turner. Often times when author add extra material to enhance a sense of realism to their story; it’s very dragging and lackluster. But the news articles, Q&A’s, case studies, and excerpt of other books, they all added to the story and offered great insight on the aftermath of prom night where Carrie’s destructive powers finally released. Honestly, this story is really horrific in the way that the trauma that Carrie has gone through is a reflection of many other kids that go through the same bullying daily. The abuse from peers and from a parent is never an easy topic to talk, let alone write, about but if King can successfully depict the atrocity of it in fiction; it does offer the awareness, ugliness, and injustice of bullying that people need.

“Those we love never truly leave us, Harry. There are things that death cannot touch.” 

“In every shining moment of happiness is that drop of poison: the knowledge that pain will come again. Be honest to those you love, show your pain. To suffer is as human as to breathe.”
