The Perks of Being a Wallflower is a great summer book to read. Even though it is quite short it is full of very mature context. This is the story of an unusual boy named Charlie, who has always had a hard time fitting in. It is not like any other book because it is written in the series of letters to an anonymous person from Charlie. Charlie doesn't want the anonymous reader to figure out who he is. All he wants is for someone to here his story. When his older brother leaves for college he is left alone, forced to fend for himself in the cruel world of high school. In many ways you can connect with Charlie because he is an outsider all throughout his life until he meets Sam and Patrick. They are new kids in school and have instantly become friends with Charlie. In their own way they are unique and different. As you read on in the book there will be friendship, love and loss. But the ending is something you will have never fathomed.
As it turns out right after i finished reading the book i found out it was going to be made into a movie. With Logan Lerman as Charlie and Emma Watson as Sam. It is a very complex novel so i am hoping that they can truly encompass Charlies character and the whole story.
I would definitly rate this book a 4 1/2 stars out of 5. I would give it five stars but i like to read very long books and i felt it was a bit too short. I wanted to have more detail but that may just be me who felt that way. Anyways thanks for reading and i hope you check out "The Perks of Being a Wallflower". You will not regret it.
my favorite book ! < 333333333333
