The story of Carrie White has connected with Me on so many levels. I was badly teased and taunted in Jr.High School and Early High School and kids can be just plain cruel and evil! They don't even understand what their doing is actually having an affect on the tortured soul that it's happening to! My heart goes out to ALL the Carrie Whites in the world! I often had dreams of being her and watching the school go up in flames with everyone in it,getting back at all who tormented Me. Thankfully I grew up with grace and got through it! And there REALLY IS hope for all who are out there, that violence is NOT the answer, and that you CAN get the help that you need, and you won't be a victim like Carry White.

Carrie was very refreshing to read, it was different and I liked the layout.

I love a good tragedy and this is one of my favourite Stephen King books. It's interesting to note that there are minor differences between the US and UK editions - for example Mr Allison (Margaret White's step-father) is spelt with only one 'L' in the UK editions and some lines are omitted.

This had to be the earliest experience I had at appreciating the motion picture adaptation of the Authors' Notes! Carrie was exciting, spell-binding, educational and what a shame it is to think some one out there is still being bullied?! God be with all of you 'Carries' in th world and if you have not watched [or read] Carrie-DO SO! I or we insist.

When I first read this novel, I was 20 years old. I go hooked on Stephen King as a result! I jusst finished rereading the book and I am confused. This recently published book is NOT the book I read almost 40 years ago. Maybe it is my age, but I was NOT horrified with the events as written. I remember being far more horrified by the descriptions of the destruction at the prom and later that night. I also remember that the book closely went along with the book except for some few minor changes. (Believe me..I am outraged when the movie doesn't follow the book). I really wish I still owned that old paperback to check if my memory is right or wrong. I can't help but shake the feeling that this book was rewritten.
