wow this book is incredible! I had never watched the
movie before so, so I was definitely excited to give this a go. Stephen King once again didn’t disappoint and had me crawling out my skin at some point. this one is definitely my favourite so far!

Fantastic

it's a haunting, scary look into telekinesis and bullying.
Bullying still happens now. Even between girls.
It's heartbreaking.
you can sort of understand why kids commit suicide. Because sometimes it's the only way out.

I have loved this book for years and have read it several times - the audio book was read very well I think, I love the book how it gives the story more depth, and the reports make it feel like it really happened.

interesting to see where it all began, and an intriguing format and theme, but not as absorbing as his other work

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.

Much better than the film.

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.

Great story, fantastically written - brilliant narration
