The story takes place in the late 1970s, but the tale is timeless. Carrie is a girl bullied in high school and terrorized by her zealous and religious mother at home. Life looks bleak, and then Carrie discovers she can move things with her mind. The most popular guy in school asks her to the prom, and while you may think you know the story from there, I highly recommend reading the book. Carrie is given more depth and emotion than clips of the prom scene from the movie could ever reveal, and the other characters are slightly more sympathetic. The story is tragic and inevitable.
