Bueno creo que todos conocemos la historia de Carrie de manera mas o menos completa, si no es por la peli es por las miles y miles de referencias culturales a esa historia. A pesar de eso el libro consigue mantener la tensión y está contado de forma sorprendente e intrigante en muchas partes. Recomendable
As a lifelong Stephen King fan, somehow I’ve never read Carrie. It’s one of those things where I’ve picked up all the plot points through cultural osmosis, I’ve seen the movie (the good one), I’ve talked about it with my friends as though I know about it. But I’ve never held the physical copy in my hands until last week.
I liked it. I don’t really have a ton to say about it. It was an extremely short read, and there were a lot of precursors to what would become eventual King hallmarks – overly religous fanatical whackjobs; bullies that were strangely too smart and/or too psychopathic to be believable; and entire towns being destroyed as a way to end the book like a Lovecraftian cleansing bolt of lightning. Happy to finally have read it.
