My second book for the Stephen King Challenge is Carrie. Carrie, as I’m sure you all know, is the story of a teenage outcast who uses her telekinetic powers to strike back at her tormentors. While I did enjoy the story I found it difficult to read, it wasn’t the subject matter that I found difficult it was the style. The book is written in an epistolary structure (ooooh, Kate learned a new word!), using excerpts from news clippings and books to help tell the story. I found this style disconnected me from the characters.
