About this listen
Carrie White is no ordinary girl. Carrie White has the gift of telekinesis. To be invited to Prom Night by Tommy Ross is a dream come true for Carrie – the first step towards social acceptance by high school colleagues. But events will take a decidedly macabre turn on that horrifying and endless night as she is forced to exercise her terrible gift on the town that mocks and loathes her...

Brilliant

Stephen King crafts suspense like no other & the way he presents this story in the form of newspaper clippings & excerpts from books & documents is actually quite brilliant. King masterfully captures High School bullying that is just as relevant today as it undoubtedly was back when the book was published.
Some of the characterisation of characters like Billy Nolan & Chris Hargensen is brilliantly realised & they are more complex than one might consider at first glance. Carrie White herself is presented as a victim & no doubt she was but she was a product of a horrible upbringing by a truly unstable mother & I think it a mischaracterisation to consider that she goes insane in the book’s final act. I believe she was psychopathic & King I think gives enough hints throughout to suggest that that is the case.
All in all I think it is a fine cautionary tale in the dangers of bullying which is all too prevalent in our society.

Bullying & isolating other students can have shocking consequences for all concerned.
It was a good book but I didn't particularly like the narration . It was totally over done. Sometimes it's best for the listener to put their own expression into the narration.
A Good Book!

I was pleasantly surprised. It is easy to see how it launched King's career.
