I bought this book for my boyfriend for a christmas gift. he liked it so much, so i asked if i could borrow it haha. It is so much better than The catcher in the rye. This book is about a boy who is a "wallflower" and he meets some new friends and he basically observes everything around him. It is funny, sad and very realistic. Im sure everyone can relate to the main character at some point. It is a definately a must read.

This extremely heralded book is about a bright, sensitive, and somewhat naive freshman named Charlie. The entire book is written as letters to a "friend" to whom he remains anonymous. The letters describe his struggles and triumphs in school, relationships, and at home.
The book is definitely well-written and intriguing, and Charlie is a likable narrator. The ending was surprising and fitting. However, I thought a lot of the storylines either played into stereotypes or else were completely out there. To me, a lot of it did not seem realistic at all. I mean, what teenage guy has really never heard of masturbation? Many of the characters just didn't ring quite true to me.
By all means, you should read the book-- it's good. I just don't think it's the end-all and be-all of "glimpse into high school literature" the way many critics have made it out to be.

The Perks of Being a Wallflower is a real page turner. Its writtin in Dear Friend type book, and it sort of like a journal. Its about a boy named Charlie. Charlie is dreamer who is not sure about life. His best friend Michael commited suicide, leaving Charlie friendless. He meets 2 seniors, who become his bestfriends. Throughtout the story, theirs drugs, sex, and very mouthdropping events.

The Perks of Being a Wallflower is one of my absolute favorite books and if you haven't read it already, you should. It's a book to warm your heart and soul and make you cry after you're done reading it. Beautiful... that's the word.. yeah.
