text: I DEDICATE THIS Review TO WOMEN ALL AROUND THE WORLD OF ALL COLOUR,RACES,RELIGIONS,NATIONALITY AND CREED...(ALL WOMEN ARE EQUAL,IN MY EYES....Nigel..)
  
  In this remarkable novel,SK makes his debut.An unlikely but good book.It has a good dose of horror/suspense and it is one of the best books I have ever read...
  
  It is simply about a teenager from Maine,named Carietta White(Carrie).From the beginning of the story we see who her mother(Margaret white)takes advantage of her,making her feel stupid and left out.Similiarly in school,Carrie is always the "Black sheep",she has not friends and she is always picked upon.She is very unusual and strange,at least to most people,especially the ones in the book(story).(but I would say quite frankly that I didn't see here as anybody but a normal healthy teenage girl.)
  
  At the beginning of the story we also see that Carrie has her first period while taking a shower at school.She is laughed at and all the other girls throw toilet paper and tampons at her.This is her first big humiliation.(I am a guy,I know not much about a period,so please forgive my use of the term openly)
  
  Anyway,back to the plot:Carrie soon realizes that she is Psychic.She starts to practice using her powers gradually.It seems as though she had the powers since birth,but the powers were dormant until puberty or at least she was unaware of it.
  
  So,so far we see this:a very unusual girl with psychic powers and a stupid mother.
  The story initially and mostly circulates around these facts but things get a little messy towards the middle and end.
  Allow me.....
  
  It is later revealed in the story that the psychic gift is sort of genetic.Carrie's mother explains alot of things,but she is still a bad mother.
  (but I still can't hate carries's mother,because most mothers are sort of protective over their children)
  Soon Carrie gets her first friend Sue.Sue feels sorry for Carrie and helps her to get a date for the prom.
  This date is Tommy Ross...
  
  Meanwhile,one of the bad girls,Chris,is unable to attend the prom.So,she sets up a nasty revenge against Carrie.Believe me when I tell you,Chris is a very jealous girl and if she can't have something,no one else can,especially Carrie.
  
  So Chris arranges a trap for Carrie.(Two buckets of pig blood)
  She sets it up for the pig blood to fall on Carrie's and Tommy's head while at the prom...
  The plan eventually succeeds.
  Tommy is badly injured.
  Drenched in pig's blood,Carrie is laughed at,for the last time.She runs out of the building.She then remembers her psychic powers and decides to use it for revenge.
  She starts to close all the doors.She then turns on all the water sprinklers,wetting everyone.
  But with a combination of water and electricity(from the appliances)....some were electrocuted.
  Eventually a fire gets started.And things start to burn!
  She walks toward her home,burning everything within a certain radius of her powers.
  When she reaches home her mother tries to kill her,telling her that she is the spawn of satan.She eventually uses her powers to stop her mothers' heart beat,killing her.
  Eventually(this is the good part of the book),while Carrie is walking on the streets(going I don't know where)she seens Chris and Chris's boyfriend driving towards her,to bounce her.
  Carrie uses her powers to diverge to car,killing Chris and her stupid boyfriend.
  Sue eventually catches up with Carrie.Carrie doesn't kill her because she realizes that it wasn't Sue's falt but Chris's.
  (During the battle with her mother,Carrie was stabbed,I forgot to mention it,sorry.)
  
  So,now,talking with sue Carrie eventually breathes her last breath and speaks her last words and just,dies.(this is the sad part,I guarantee you that it would bring tears to your eyes,or maybe not)
  
  But this book is definitely good,I recommend it with all my "Psychic" powers.
  
  Enjoy.............This review was written by Nigel....
