    :radioactive: Carrie - Let's Discuss! *SPOILERS*

    Since the prom is quickly approaching, it is a perfect time to discuss Carrie...


    I read the book after I had seen the original movie, which I always dislike because I can't see the characters in the book as anything but the movie characters... but nonetheless, I enjoyed the book... an easy read.

    Let's discuss!
    Buddy, you think you look strong? You’re wearing a cape.

    I think it's an easy read but it's not an easy book.

    Roland would have understood.

    well, yes... that's a good point. The life of Carrie is rather sad, indeed.

    I read Carrie very early in my King reading and enjoyed it. This was probably 15 years ago. I recently listened to it read by Sissy Spacek...it was so awesome! I really enjoyed the story and the way King told it using newspapers, interviews and flashbacks. It was a great first novel!

    Just finished reading it.
    I loved it, i agree with letti, easy read, not an easy book.
    And i also agree with MonteGss, i really liked the way he tells the story (and kinda separates "mini chapters") using fragments of books, interviews, etc.

    Speaking of podcasts, The Losers Club is probably the best King-related one out there. Here's a link to their first episode about Carrie:
