Title: Human story about bullying more than superpowers...
Review: Carrie is remembered generally as a story about bizarre superpowers of the mind, but it is a far deeper look into the effects of bullying at school and abuse at home. This particular edition has a very interesting foreword by King that describes the two real-life girls that were his inspiration for the Carrie character.Yes, there are supernatural powers involved. But even more than the (very good) film, we get a look at how very natural forces shape Carrie into someone that can use those powers for destructive purposes. The book is also more balanced, with the school principal being a sympathetic character rather than yet another bully.
