It has always been goal of mine to read a Stephen King novel. I finally achieved this goal by reading this classic. The movie was recently remade with Julianne Moore as the mother. I remember the original movie with Sissy Spacek as Carrie back in the 1970s. With the remake of the movie, the book has been re-released with a new cover. I always like to read books before the movie, but in this case, I think it helped to see the movie before reading the book. This book does not disappoint. With Halloween being today, I could not think of a more appropriate book to get the scare factor rolling. Today, Carrie would be considered a victim of bullying, but her retaliation after what happens at prom is beyond gruesome. Carrie and her telekinetic powers end up killing over 400 people in her small Maine hometown. Stephen King is a very talented writer who describes his scenes with much detail.
