"Dépêche A.P. 27 mai 1979. 23 h 46. Un sinistre d'une ampleur tragique frappe la ville de Chamberlain, Maine. Des centaines de morts..." Une mère puritaine, obsédée par le diable et le péché; des camarades de classe dont elle est le souffre-douleur : Carrie est profondément malheureuse, laide, toujours perdante. Mais à seize ans resurgit en elle le souvenir d'un "don" étrange qui avait marqué fugitivement son enfance : de par sa seule volonté elle pouvait faire se déplacer des objets à distance. Et ce pouvoir réapparaît aujourd'hui, plus impérieux, plus impatient... Une surprise bouleverse soudain la vie de Carrie lorsqu'elle est invitée au bal de l'école par Tommy Ross, le boy-friend d'une de ses ennemies, n'est-ce pas un piège plus cruel encore que les autres ? --back cover

Sorprende para bien

4 stars

Bueno creo que todos conocemos la historia de Carrie de manera mas o menos completa, si no es por la peli es por las miles y miles de referencias culturales a esa historia. A pesar de eso el libro consigue mantener la tensión y está contado de forma sorprendente e intrigante en muchas partes. Recomendable

Carrie by Stephen King

4 stars

As a lifelong Stephen King fan, somehow I’ve never read Carrie. It’s one of those things where I’ve picked up all the plot points through cultural osmosis, I’ve seen the movie (the good one), I’ve talked about it with my friends as though I know about it. But I’ve never held the physical copy in my hands until last week.

I liked it. I don’t really have a ton to say about it. It was an extremely short read, and there were a lot of precursors to what would become eventual King hallmarks – overly religous fanatical whackjobs; bullies that were strangely too smart and/or too psychopathic to be believable; and entire towns being destroyed as a way to end the book like a Lovecraftian cleansing bolt of lightning. Happy to finally have read it.

This is another one of those books that, being a Stephen King fan, I can’t believe I’d never read. Second book written, first one published, if I remember correctly (for what it’s worth, I don’t think Carrie was as good as [b:'Salem's Lot|11590|'Salem's Lot|Stephen King|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1327891565l/11590.SY75.jpg|3048937]).

I saw the movie a really long time ago, in the 80s or maybe the early 90s. I can’t remember very much of it at all, but I’m almost certain it wasn’t as detailed, or as gruesome or heart-wrenching, as the book.

Carrie is the ultimate story of bullying gone wrong. My book, [b:Stingers|49404106|Stingers|Graham Downs|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1576660938l/49404106.SY75.jpg|40865726], doesn’t even come close (prove me wrong: read both of them and tell me what you think!). The horrors that girl’s peers put her through... not to mention the isolation her mother put her through. To be a seventeen-year-old girl and not know what a period …
