Carrie

First book that I read by Stephen King. I think it was in 8th grade that I picked this up. It scared me pretty bad, but not because of the supernatural aspects of it, but rather the human aspects of it. The way that Carrie's mother treated her, the way Carrie's classmates treated her..it was really unsettling to an 8th grader. Really fantastic read. Incredibly though-provoking.
