Although Carrie and Violin have many similarities the two novels differ in their form and role of narration. Carrie is written in different forms and narration while Violin is in first person and it switches to 3rd. This develops the story from different sides of views in Carrie. It is in the views of reporters, by standers, enemies, and those that stand up for Carrie. Sue Snell says, "I will show my thanks to Carrie because I feel sorry for what I have done"(p.137, Carrie). King has a way of getting under the skin of his readers by creating an utterly believable world and providing a lot of different views from both sides of the story as well as the outside. He pieces together extracts from newspaper reports, journals, and scientific papers, as well as more traditional first- and third-person narrative in order to reveal what lurks beneath the surface of Chamberlain, Maine. The narration is a very effective way in this book to communicate the story to the reader. Violin overlooks some overwrought narration and stilted dialogue and in exchange provides a lush atmosphere, striking characters and thrilling plot. The main character is the narrator and she falls into an annoying habit of repeating events, characterizations and dialogue like a child will repeat a joke not knowing what that causes. The reader can feel she tries to wrap the reader in a dense darkly erotic atmosphere with her narration that can be harder to emerge from as the story goes on. Anne Rice concentrates only what evolves around Triana and how she views it, such as Stefan. This form of narration is not the best for this novel because if it was written in many different views like Carrie then the reader would understand how other characters feel besides Triana. Thus the form and style of the narration in each of these novels is very different and in some cases is not most suitable.
