Carrie: oh you poor bovine-faced, butt-of-the-joke, sweet naive girl... oh you powerful, bullied, unstable, broken-homed, loaded gun... it was not your nature that made you a monster and it was not the latent power you were born with; they made you a monster, they pushed and tormented, they tore you down, implanted ideas, frightened you to no end, punished you for things beyond your control, and laughed, oh how they laughed!

I just don’t get why this book is so popular! I appreciate its pop-cultural value but as a book, i just didn’t like it. I hated all the parenthetical thoughts and I didn’t really care about any character & the story at this point has no suspense factor. Also, I don’t see how it’s scary at all. It’s not horror; it’s sci-fi.
