In this brilliant novel, Stephen King brings up a story with a shedload of tension and buckets full of fear that will certainly make the reader sleep with the night lamp on!
In this story, it narrates the tale of Carrie White: a teenage girl who is known as a laughing stock in her high school because of her strange, religious ways, her outdated clothing and her unattractive appearance. Weak and innocent, she takes in the negative mockeries from her peers as time goes by. However, as she gradually discovers her telekinetic powers --- that is, the ability to move objects at a distance by mental power or other nonphysical means --- and her classmates reach a step too far in prom night, windows start to shut and doors start to lock as Carrie plots revenge over them.
An aspect that I really liked about this book is how King uses fictional documents to frame the story of Carrie. This is very interesting because it shows how the commotion that Carrie brought to the city of Chamberlaine (Maine) was so efficacious that not only a few, but yes, loads of reports were filed in association with this calamity including the ones from Carrie's classmate in particular, Susan "Sue" Snell that tells her side of the story. The heart stopping moments and the gobsmacking surprises will sure leave you with a shivery spine for several weeks!
