brenticus hat Carrie von Stephen King besprochen

4 Sterne
I often struggle with narratives where there is such overt, cruel, and public bullying happening over a long period of time. It speaks to such a large societal failure to deal with such instances that it beggars belief.Â
I thought I would feel the same way about Carrie, but I don't. She and her family are so messed up that people don't know what to do about them. Sue and Tommy, for good reasons or not, actually make an attempt to help her. And when it all goes to hell it does so in such a way that it becomes hard to feel that much pity for Carrie in the end.Â
It's a tense, fast, terrible story that never really tries to surprise you but always has you hooked in anyways. Super good read.
