Book Reviews of Carrie
Book Review: Early King work is a winner!
Summary: 5 Stars
This was King's first published novel and there is as much fun to be found learning about its past as actually reading it. As you read you can almost see King writing it in his little house with the typewriter balanced on his knee. What is astonishing is how he managed to get the thing finsihed while working full time and attending to his family. We all know the plot - Carrie is tormented until she finally goes mental at Prom Night and wreaks telepathic havoc - but this book expands upon the movie, adding more depth to the early scenes and having a whole new ending ... Although the ending is parcticulary downbeat in a way Kings work is rarly today, it is a joy to read, and makes you root for Carrie when everything seems to be going well at the prom. The book has a weird fairly-tale style as it is mainly comprised as newspaper clippings and biography of some of the charectors from years later, but it has a real sense of community and makes for a disturbing read. Funny in places, most definatly raw, it is also good for aspiring movelists to study to see how the world's most prolific writer started out.
