***Public Service Announcement: my internet sucks tonight!!! I was trying to visit a large number of blogs and just had to give up. I'll get to those visits tomorrow. Thanks. :)***
This year my A to Z theme harks back to 2012's theme, in which I listed an A-to-Z of books from my GoodReads "TBR" shelf. This year I want to revisit that list and report on which ones I've read, and what rating I gave them. Where the book hasn't been read, I'll mention other books starting with that letter I have read since 2012. ;)
"C" ... CARRIE
Status: Read
Brief Review: Beware spoilers. Loved it, though of course it was depressing. In a way I could see it in a similar light to the last book I had read (Irvine Welsh's BEDROOM SECRETS...) because of how it ends in basic total destruction of everything, and also how even while I was reading scenes that made me gasp in despair "Noooo, don't dooo iiiit!" I could still see the chaotic horrific humour/beauty in the whole thing. Carrie's mum was a psycho, and I was happy with her fate. What a waste of a life hers was! And of course Carrie's life was a waste too, but we can blame her crazy mother for that. >> Full review
