What Risingshadow readers think about this book

8 / 10

Carrie is a harsh book with its theme of school bullying. Although the horror focuses on telekinesis and its power, I found the saddest and most terrible part of the story to be the young girl's bullying experienced, both at home and at school. The structure of the book is fragmented, which was a little distracting, but I understand it as a writer's stylistic choice. I read the 2024 Finnish translated edition of the book, which included a fairly long foreword by Margaret Atwood.
