finished my first king!!
i very much enjoyed the switching perspectives/forms, i loved the character of carrie and her arc up to the destruction
this was the book that got me back into reading; i was always excited to pick up where i left off and keep reading
(though i feel like some descriptions couldve been left out (ahem racial slurs and talking about young girls chests and that weird scene with billy and chris)i wasnt head over heels with the ending it did drag on for a bit but every book cant be perfect)

The horror was much more downplayed than I expected, but this was only my second Stephen King novel. Excellent writing, of course. And I thought the style was a good way to tell the story.
