User Reviews

Okay,but there's room for improvement

I remember reading this book but not finishing it,which was, as you can imagine quite frustrating since the beginning is about a mother(Carrie)who visits the place she was sent(due to the war)when she was a teenager. She begins by telling her children something like:"If I was never sent away,this would have never happened". I thought it would be good to see what exactly was the 'tragedy'. I quite enjoyed some bits in he movie,but some were quite boring.At the end,the 'tragedy' just happened to be a superstitious believe which wasn't Carrie's fault. Overall,I would give this 6/10.
