Summary: Amazing
Comment: I'm not the type who likes to read those diary stories, I'm not a deep thinker, and I would usually choose sports or tv over a book. Not with this one. His point of view is fascinating, and he raises amusing and curious thoughts, all while telling his entrancing story. And the thing about it is it's really not out of the ordinary in the way of events. He's not Harry Potter, dealing with a magical world. He's not a movie star writing about his woes. He is a wallflower. The things he notices in everyday situations make you want to stop what you're doing and just think about things. I dunno, maybe I don't explain it well. But I definately recommend this book. The way we do it at my school is that we have one copy that circulates, and every person chooses a color, and highlights parts that they like. It's one of those books that has stuff to highlight in it.

Summary: "we accept the love we think we deserve"
Comment: Set in 1991, Charlie is not a geek, but by no means the popular freshman in high school either. After his friend's suicide in the summer, Charlie enters freshman year as a no name face, until he meets seniors Sam and Patrick. He is then exposed to drugs, sexuality, first love, as well as discovering himself along the way. The Perks Of Being A Wallflower transfers readers to the mind of a coming-of-age teenage boy. Through his experiences, turmoil, and frustrations, Charlie brings you back to the roller coaster, unforgettable days known as- adolescence.
Throughout the book, Charlie's acquaintances are documented through his letters to an anonymous receiver. We know no more than the date and the character's name, which expands the area of flexibility for us to connect to him. Chbosky doesn't dress the book with fancy word structures; instead he conveys the thinking of a 15 year-old into simple writings. While we watch Charlie grasps to 'feel infinite? our own views of the world has been affected and grown with his.
'He's something, isn't he?"
Bob nodded his head. Patrick then said something I don't think I'll ever forget.
'He's a wallflower.'
'You see things. You keep quiet about them. And you understand.'
Seeing life as a dance floor, Charlie is the wallflower by the book's title. His observant and curious characteristic led him through amazing self realizations. This is more than a clich?fiction novel; Chbosky does a wonderful job of relating readers to the book because Charlie's confusions are extremely realistic. Reading Charlie through his teenage journey, I've learned to feel the world around me just as he does. The Perks Of Being A Wallflower is one of the rare writings that'd make you laugh and cry at the same time, and realizing something new every time you reread it.
