I wouldn't give it as a gift to an 18yr old if I didn't know them really well. I read it in my late 20's and it was tough.

I would pick something else; a book in general is an awesome gift!

I read it when I was 15, and my mom was appalled. Little did she know I read Carrie when I was 13. But yeah, definitely not a great gift idea unless there a bit older and/or you know the person well.

Yeah-I’ve been reading King since about 12. I can handle scary and paranormal more than I can handle real life violence.
