Sensual Violation Lady Lazarus Age: 17 Gender: Female Posts: 17150	July 1st, 2008 at 04:47pm Blurb; Carrie, properly named Carietta White, is a young girl of sixteen with a remarkable gift - she is telekinetic and can make things happen through thought - transmission. Carrie uses this gift as a form of revenge, a means of 'getting her own back' on the world. She is repressed by her mother, a religious fanatic; her schoolfriends taunt her. Carrie discovers that her powers are without limit and she decides that nothing is too bad for those who have tried to humiliate her. Finally, her gift leads to disaster and the consequences are chaos and destruction.

It seemed really interesting and like it'd be a good read. I'm definitely going to check it out when I get a chance.

Bells. Fanfic Fanatic Age: 15 Gender: Female Posts: 1071	August 10th, 2008 at 10:22am Since there is no thread for the movie, I am just going to post here, seeing as there's already a thread for the book... I like this movie. I watched it earlier today. I love the way they represented Carrie with a skinny girl with freckles everywhere, which make her seem a little... freaky at times. I don't get her mum. The way she goes nuts at her for having her period... That's a little extreme, no? And also, stabbing her for having telekinesis... Ouch.

Unrequited Love Fanfic Fanatic Age: 13 Gender: Female Posts: 1112	August 29th, 2008 at 08:41am I'll have to read Carrie. I've seen the movie, the end nearly made me jump out of my skin, though. It sounds like a good read.
punkxemoxgothxgirlxx dead. Age: - Gender: Female Posts: 3314	August 30th, 2008 at 12:13pm I love the book. Stephen King writes in a girl's perspective really well. It is creepy though. Love it.
Heart-Shaped Box. Cliché Catastrophe Age: 16 Gender: Female Posts: 429	August 31st, 2008 at 02:04am I only read the book, after I saw and intensely loved the movie. The writing style for the book was a bit weird, though, I think I only thought that when I read it because next to the actual story, there's these fictional newspaper articles and such in between. Though, besides that, the story was wonderful. Creepy, obviously, but that's what Stephen King is here to do: creep us out .
missLadi Writer's Block Age: 13 Gender: Female Posts: 51	September 1st, 2008 at 04:41pm I love Stephen King. He's awesome, love his books. Carrie is by far one of the best books/movies he's written. I love the storyline.. it's sweet. I prefer the older movie though, not the remake. That one was... no.
