TITLE-Carrie
AUTHOR-Stephen King
FORMAT-Paperback
FIRST TIME READING-Nope! I can not remember how many times I have read this
book.
COST-10 cents
Right after I moved back to Mississippi the local library had it's 4 time a
year book sale. They had 4 or 5 copies of Carrie. So instead of the normal 50
cents for a paperback,they were 10 cents. I had left most of my books out in
Texas. And had no clue what all I owned. I figured if I bought it and already
had a copy out in Texas I was out 10 cents. When I did get my stuff I had left
2 states to the west ,either I had not owned a copy of Carrie or someone had
borrowed mine.
I feel like everyone reading this knows the story. They have either seen
one if not all of the three film adaptations. I have only seen the original
film and the made for TV remake.The original film is a decent adaptation of the
novel. The main parts that are missing are medical reports that would have been
hard to translate to the screen.
As for the novel. I choose to read it this time because I couldn't sleep. I
thought reading something I have read many many times before would distract my
brain long enough for me to get some much needed sleep. That didn't happen and
in a little under 3 1/2 hours I read the entire book.
Hmmm.. what more can I say. I like this cover more than any other US
printings cover. I wonder how many people before me owned and read this copy. I
don't like Carrie enough to want to own it in hardcover.So this cheap kind of
beat up paperback copy will do well.
Carrie gets a 2.85 outta 5.
