[Ordinary people with powers]

Stephen King's stunning debut novel Carrie, about a bullied high-school girl who develops telekinetic powers, springs to mind rather forcefully. Haunting, believable, moving and horrific in the truest sense of portraying the horrors so-called human beings are capable of committing against their fellows, I remember staying up until the early hours to read it, and not being able to sleep thereafter I was in such floods of tears.

 

Wow this sounds really impressive, I'll have to pick that up when I go to the bookshop. Something I'd go for.

 

Azazel is a collection of short stories written by Isaac Azimov, recounting the adventures of an ordinary fellow named George and a two-inch demon named Azazel, who does favors for George's friends and they always go awry.

 

Interesting, I'll have a look

[Ordinary people with powers]

I've always wanted a good read, similar to Heroes or Push. I've always found it interesting to read about ordinary people dealing with these gifts they've recently been given. It's also a bit like the programme Misfits. If any of you have any suggestions of a good read, just say.
