Ghosts Editorial Review

The novel of Carrie is a gripping and engaging book with two main themes of repression and bullying. It is a showcase of Stephen King's ability to use Prose to take the reader into the mind of multiple characters and uses this to create tension. The theme of repression is essential to the plot as well and is vital for a person to understand the healthy ways in relieving their unhealthy feelings and not letting them build up. However, some reviewers had reservations regarding the portrayal of the bullied as potential psychopaths and that the book lacked depth. Generally, the reception of the product seems to be good, with customers finding it an enjoyable and quick read.
