The first part of the book (the narrative of the events in the island) is an exciting read. Once it gets to the legal "thriller" part, it loses steam as the author (in my opinion) is way too detailed--to the detriment of the flow of the book. It's a shame because the entire plot of the book definitely has the potential to be an excellent read

In one word: overrated. Maybe because of the fame it has, I was expecting some scarier, but I was disappointed. I have read other Stephen King books and short stories that creeped me oht more. Carrie is well-written and well-crafted, but it is antclimactic.

Loved this book, loved the characters and the narrative. I felt sad when it was over because I related to them so much

What I loved most about this book is how well-developed, rich, and complex the characters are. It's what makes it so engrossing and hard to put down. I became invested in every single character, and the author forces you to let go of your expectations of what "good" and "bad" people are. Loved it.
