bookshelves: constant-reader-balloon-spells, horror-aiiiiiiiie
Read 2 times. Last read April 1, 2016 to April 4, 2016.
It was 13 years since the last time I read this book; this remarkable epistolary debut novel by King. When first published it was ahead of its time, and still feels pertinent today. In this work there are so many brave choices for a debut novelistl; with this debut King came out the blocks all-guns blazing in is career as a writer. Utterly and totally a classic old school King read. Typifying his future work, this story focuses on the outsiders, on how they're treated by the majority, and where that story goes from there. In addition it starts his over-bearing parent theme that continually reappears in his subsequent works. 8 out of 12.

Great review! You're right, this one has really stood the test of time as I suspect most of King's novels will.

I am a big fan if Carrie. I‘ve read the book twice and I am still amazed how well the book aged. Lots of still important topics. There are actually many King books which I haven‘t read yet - especially his newer works - but I recently started to conquer all of them. Hope to encounter more of the over-bearing parent theme. Great review!

Great review, Baba!
