“Gory and horrifying. . . . You can’t put it down.” —Chicago Tribune
Unpopular at school and subjected to her mother’s religious fanaticism at home, Carrie White does not have it easy. But while she may be picked on by her classmates, she has a gift she’s kept secret since she was a little girl: she can move things with her mind. Doors lock. Candles fall. Her ability has been both a power and a problem. And when she finds herself the recipient of a sudden act of kindness, Carrie feels like she’s finally been given a chance to be normal. She hopes that the nightmare of her classmates’ vicious taunts is over . . . but an unexpected and cruel prank turns her gift into a weapon of horror so destructive that the town may never recover.
Olivia White –
A very interesting book. I enjoyed the novel, but I wouldn’t recommend starting your acquaintance with the author from this one. As always, King did a great job with the characters, psychology, and plotline. It’s a page-turner, and you find yourself following and empathizing with all the characters. Definitely recommended for King’s fans.
