I couldn't put it down even though I wanted to at times. This was my first book by Stephen King and it won't be my last, but I'm going to need a break from whatever the hell was going on here. Mean girls, blood (a lot of it), fire (a lot of it) and many questionable choices... If you thought 240 pages weren't enough to introduce approximately 200 characters, tell their stories and then kill them all, you're wrong. Let it blow your mind like Carrie blew (up) Chamberlain :)
