Point of view I really liked the novel, because it was written nicely and the story was very enjoyable to read. The story was thrilling. The story was fiction, but the events were written in a way that it almost was if you were in it yourself. Once reading I almost could not stop. The novel was not very hard to read, the sentences were not very difficult, but because there were book pages threw the story, it sometimes was hard to understand what was happening. The differences in time between de articles were also hard to follow. In the last part of the novel the events are not sorted on time, but go right threw each other. It could happen that somebody died and an sentence below, the person was still alive. On the whole, I understood most of the story. The end of the novel was unexpected, because you would think Carrie would survive. The change of perspective, caused by the books and articles gave a nice effect, and you got two sides of the story. The story sometimes was a little difficult by the religious things said in the novel, because you need a little religious pre-knowledge.
