I cried too, much to the amusement of my boyfriend. I agree with the first section dragging slightly up until the arrival of Robbie at the house but it all fits in perfectly once you’re finished (if that makes sense!)
Such a good read and I’m glad I read it before I see the film!! One I’ll probably reread again at some point.

This is about the 3rd or 4th time I have read this book and it always fills me with motivation and inspiration for writing. I love the bit where ‘Carrie’ is sold for hundreds of thousands of dollars – very uplifting.
King’s enthusiasm for his craft is infectious and the section on his life and what inspired/inspires him to write are also very interesting. One I will re-read at many points in my life I’m sure. Worth a read!!

This book raised so many questions. As someone without children yet it really made me think ‘what if…?’
I struggled to get into it but ended up not being able to put it dwn in the last 100 pages. Definitley worth a read.

My title says it all. Read it in a day. Instantly forgettable but enjoyable at the time. It hasn’t and won’t change my life but it kept me occupied for a few hours and gave some light relief from some of the more depressing tomes I’ve been reading of late!!

I’ve never read a book where I’ve wanted to physically slap most of the characters before!! I suppose you could take that as me getting really involved in the story and caring about the characters or that I just plain old hated it!!

I agree with Piper on this one. I love Stephen King (hmbscully – seriously get around to reading The Stand!! So worth it!! :-)) but I found this book kind of lacking in any kind of story I could get interested in. Very disapointed but as I can see from the other entries it’s obviously done it for others so I guess the best advice is to try it for yourself!!
