Book Review: Carrie

-
Carrie by Stephen King

 Goodreads Summary:
Carrie knew she should not use the terrifying power she possessed... But one night at her senior prom, Carrie was scorned and humiliated just one time too many, and in a fit of uncontrollable fury she turned her clandestine game into a weapon of horror and destruction...

 My Review:
4/5 Stars
Believe it or not I have never read a Stephen King before this, so I figured what better way to start than one of his earliest and most popular books. I gave this book 4 stars, but I honestly have pretty mixed feelings about it. Mostly because I think it confused me more than anything. Like really who can come up with this kind of stuff? But on the other hand I was completely hooked.
Carrie has telekinetic powers that when pushed over the edge by her bullying classmates goes into effect and causes major destruction. Her mother never helped the situation by belittling every common teenage feeling, and always suggesting the need to repent. Overall it is a very bad bullying situation gone wrong. 

 This book is also apart of the Rory Gilmore Reading Challenge.

Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by The Artsy Reader  and gives people a chance to list out their favorites of the topic of the week!! TODAY'S TOPIC IS: Books to read by the pool/at the beach     1. Save the Date by Morgan Matson This looks like the perfect light read while also being hilarious and totally relatable. It is about a family reuniting for a wedding and all the drama and love that comes with that which sounds perfect considering I'll be surrounded by family when I head to the beach next month. 2. By Your Side by Kasie West Recently I have been all about Kasie West's book, so of course there had to be one on this list. By Your Side is about two teenagers from very different friend groups being stuck in the library for a day together and the spark that may or may not fly. 3. Alex, Approximately by Jenn Bennett Another YA romance but this one is online, maybe? Bailey meets someone online who shares her love for all things movies (RELAT...
