Negative Positive
Title: Still the Classic
Review: I've read both the book and watched the movie, and can attest to it's staying power. Although not as polished as his later works, the rough edges only add to the obvious torment our dark protagonist feels.Contending with a bible-belt(?) mother and extremely evil classmates, it's a wonder that Carrie did not snap eariler. Her life seems dismal until she realizes that she has telekinetic powers that enable her to do the extraordinary.Although the movie is low budget by today's standards (strings and wires are visible if you know where to look) this book remains very enjoyable because you can picture it happening any time. Even if it was intended to deal with the angst felt by the baby boom generation (and quite possibly the frustration women were feeling in narrowed roles)it remains relevant to my generation as well.
