Review of 'Carrie' on 'Goodreads'

4 stars

Mr King's début novel and it is fantastic.

Carrie reads like it is a documentary jumping back and forth between different survivors points of view. You are expected to know what the outcome is, and who doesn't know the story of Carrie? It seems to have been around forever.

I love how the story trickles along slowly revealing bits at a time until the night of the prom and all hell breaks loose. The level of destruction was surprising it was amazing just how much havoc you can case with a little bit of Telekinesis.

A brilliant début novel, I have high hopes for this author, I think he might be a success.
