pickPeople call this book terrifying, but with its narrative structure and multiple points of view (after the fact), it never felt creepy. It felt much more like a cable documentary. Still, I had to get to the end, knowing Carrie‘s point of view. I think King wanted us to empathize with Carrie, only to remind us in the end that we‘re just another one of the bullies who viewed her as a freak-show as we rushed to the end of this thriller.
January #BookSpin #ReadYourKindle #BookSpinBingo The fates decided no you will not let #LosersClub picks fall to the wayside! In fact Christine was my BookSpin from December too. Very “I won‘t be ignored, Dan!” 🤣
I actually didn‘t add the wildcards until today, but they didn‘t really stand (ha!) a chance. I think the hardest decision was between The Stand and The Wolf and The Watchman, but The Stand is epic.
I also want to give a shout out to Starfish. I wish it had been around when I was 11. I cried a lot while I read it.
Thank you @CSeydel for making the lovely graphic!
I‘m amazed at how much of this I‘ve forgotten — pretty much all the characters except Arnie. #audiowalk

Finished in August. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

pick4/5 - love stephen king. this one is more of a novella but really enjoyable. created a world that i wish he had expanded on. great themes of classism, the distraction of screens and more. really fun and easy read. but did leave me wanting more.
