Amy (nightbloomer) reviewed Read it! on 4/6/2009 + 14 more book reviews

This story had a big impact on me when I was younger and I really wish I read the book then. (I carried it around with me for a week or so in 4th grade, but I really was not capable of reading a book at that time. I was really obsessed with the idea of telekinesis in like the 4th grade.) Now that I'm older, I can't help but feel all the girls in this book are mean and stupid and manipulative: "I'll have sex with you if you ask Carrie to the prom," and "I'll have sex with you if you kill a pig for me", etc. I don't think girls actually think this way and it is a stereotype that I try to avoid hearing about. It seemed like Tommy Ross was the only nice person in that town. I really enjoyed reading it though. It is such a brilliant story, but maybe it could have been told a little differently.
