Carrie Overview The story starts with how Carrie, at the age of sixteen, gets her first period, while showering in the gymnasium locker room at college. Because her mum neglected to inform Carrie her about menstruation, Carrie begins to freak out, believing she's dying. Her classmates are startled and frightened at her naivety as she runs around, bleeding hands outstretched and pleading for help. The tale continues with Carrie trying to fit in with her classmates and appear 'normal ', notwithstanding her mother's fears and challenges.Possibly one of King's shortest books, the tale gets directly into the action and the reader has little time to lose interest. It moves forward through her days of trouble with an explanatory back-story, explaining why Carrie is so 'weird '.

It's tricky not to feel miserable for Carrie, raised by her non secular mummy who believes everything is a sin. The undeniable fact that Carrie got her period was God's way of punishing her for sinning, and Carrie is sent to the cupboard to offer prayers.Carrie's Telekinesis is inherited from her granny, and when Carrie was born, and again when she was 3, she exhibited proof of telekinesis and her ma wished to kill her at those times. As Carrie unearths her power of telekinesis, she practices her craft, getting stronger and stronger, and things start to look up for her. King's books don't typically end with contentedly forever and the ending of this book isn't different as Carrie reeks havoc in town.

The sole negative factor is perhaps the way in which the story switches between reports ( The In depth glance at the TK Gene and My Name is Susan Snell ) and the tale itself. Although it was engaging, some of the reports were a touch longer then they wanted to be, it would be an even shorter book, had they not have been included. They did add to the tale however.
