It is melodramatic, and set in a windswept northern English town that’s straight out of Brontë (only a brief shot of a computer in a school classroom gives it away as contemporary).

(Andrew Collins)

Carrie by Stephen King.
“What can I say? This is the first book that came to mind. Besides Norah Ephron's I feel Bad About My Neck, it's the only book I've reread on a regular basis. Carrie is my favorite heroine in literature. I know it's more popular or intellectually respectable to say Jane Eyre or Mrs. Dalloway or Emma, but for me: It's Carrie White. (Helen Ellis)
