Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

A modern classic, Carrie introduced a distinctive new voice in American fiction — Stephen King. The story of misunderstood high school girl Carrie White, her extraordinary telekinetic powers, and her violent rampage of revenge, remains one of the most barrier-breaking and shocking novels of all time.

Make a date with terror and live the nightmare that is...Carrie

Lonerwor, July 26, 2007 (view all comments by Lonerwor)
This is classic literal work that tells us that we all have our hidden talents, and personalites, and sometimes we have to let our secrets out in the open, whether they are good or bad. It also tells us that the most quietly shy person can have a mask of inner rage that transcends any ordinary aspects into uncommon range of certain breaking points. This is something that Stephen King describes very well in all of his novels.
