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.

I LOVE how King revisits the prom scene, as I felt a little cheated the first time around. But then again we don't always get everything the first time around do we? GENIUS.
