Much better than the film.

Where does Carrie rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

Top five out of all audiobook listened to so far.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Carrie herself. trapped in the body of an adolescent girl, tortured by her estranged mother and school friends who as we all know can be horrible in themselves.

What does Sissy Spacek bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you had only read the book?

Excellent choice of narrator. Sissy brought out all the feeling behind the characters portrayed in the book. Obviously seeing Sissy as Carrie in the film helped however Sissy brought to the book a professionalism that was believable.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

The point where Carrie prepares for the Prom attends the dance and naturally fits in until the events that brought forward the catastrophe.

Any additional comments?

Definitely worth listening to this book. The story brings to the reader the tale of a young girl persecuted for the way she was brought up through no fault of her own and then takes matters into her own hands in a devastating manner.

Great story, fantastically written - brilliant narration

As a Constant Reader I’m a little biased when it comes to King but I loved this. To think it’s his first published novel, it’s so well written, one of his best early works. The fact that Sissy Spacek is the narrator makes it all the better. Loved it.

King is the King

I have always loved Stephen King and have read 76 of his books but have only recently discovered Audible. I was very excited to find that Sissy Spacek (the original Carrie White) was the narrator and she was a delight. My only reason for giving a 4 star rating on the book is that King has a number of better works.

Just magnificent

Everyone should read this. Who knows what the consequences of our actions on others might be? Perhaps if we took the time to think on that, the world would be a much better place.

Loved the narration by Sissy Spacek.
