Another classical one that I had never read. This is the story of Carrie, a telekinetic teenager whose powers tend to manifest when she's unhappy. And, since her mother is completely nuts and she's bullied at school, well, unhappiness happens. A distinctive feature of Carrie is that the story is interleaved with miscellaneous articles that explain, quite early, the end of the book. I liked it, because essentially you get to see how you get there, but I've seen it used as a critic "since you know what happens, it's much less interesting".
