Carrie

I have always loved this book and movie. But to have Mr. King and Ms. Spacek narrate one of my most favorite books (and movies) of all time is bliss, sheer bliss. Do yourself a favor, get this book, you'll enjoy it.

This was a good book. loved the narrator. excellent choice. She did an excellent job, especially because she was Carrie in the movie.

The way King makes this story play along as a police interrogation leading to flashbacks was well written and I'm surprised it has not been adapted as such on film. The story is a gruesome coming of age tale and one that resonates with all readers in some fashion as the high school dynamic presented in the book is outstanding. A fun read and an even more enjoyable listen.

This book was recommended to me by an Audio-Book-Loving friend as her absolute favorite go-to book. It did not disappoint. Aside from being a classic, the narration is fantastic. Also, the book is pretty short, which is convenient for me. Highly recommend.

One of my all time favorite books, with an amazing introduction read by the author, plus the star of the original film adaptation narrating the book. Score: grand slam! King expertly describes and Spasek emotes all the pathos of teen ostracism and rage. A must own!
