And when she finds herself the recipient of a sudden act of kindness, Carrie feels like she's finally been given a chance to be normal. She hopes that the nightmare of her classmates' vicious taunts is over . . . but an unexpected and cruel prank turns her gift into a weapon of horror so destructive that the town may never recover.

Valoraciones y reseñas

El 31 de octubre, Halloween, vi la pelicula, casi a media noche, sali del cine con "ese nose que" acerca del film, me senti tan pero tan identifocada, que peor un momento pense que la protagonista era yo... Soy una persona un poco desequlibrada tanto mental, emocional y psicolgicamente como fisico. Me senti tan identificada, como dije antes, que por un momento tuve temor por la vida de mi familia, tanto la de mi madre como la mia... Gracias por el libro, veo que a King le gusta el terror, al igual que ami.

Es el primer libro que eh leido y me quede maravillado. Se lo recomiendo al 1000% a todos los jovenes. Ansioso de ver la nueva version de ete el libro en pelicula en Noviembre :3

No es de extrañar que desde sus inicios como escritor se viera censurado, como primer libro es una obra maestra... La forma en la que está escrito es sumamente atrayente para el lector ya que te mantiene atento al más minino detalle
