The Perks of Being a Wallflower


Charlie is a fictional character living in a fictional "real life." The Perks of Being a Wallflower is a collection of letters written by Charlie, explaining what's going on in his life. This book covers various issues such as homosexuality and teenage life crisis, much like The Catcher in the Rye. This book is entertaining, sad and engaging, mainly because most of the issues he covers are much like the ones we go through as young adults.

Calling myself loud is an understatement, so reading The Perks of Being a Wallflower gave me a perspective I'm not used to. It's a series of letters from a boy named Charlie who is known for being a "wallflower" to someone he does not know. Because he doesn't know them, he feels he's not being judged. He tells about his family, his new friends, and the adventures and situations they get into. I really enjoyed this book, and I know anyone who reads it will too.
