Carrie by Stephen King

Stephen King is a master storyteller. In this classic horror novel, we are introduced to the unforgettable Carrie While, a misunderstood teenage girl who is teased mercilessly at school, until she gets her final, horrible revenge. What most fascinated me about this book, however, is King's incredible narrative skills. From a stylistic point of view, (let alone the spine chilling plot), this book is a narrative masterpiece. When I finished reading it, the first thing I wanted to do was get another King novel.

4 out of 5 stars
