Review Detail

Reader reviewed by lookwaticando08

I read The Perks of Being a Wallflower when my friend bought it for my birthday. I read the entire book in one sitting, and was never the same again. This emotionally raw and brutally honest book has made such a difference in my life. It is the story of 15 year old Charlie, an adolescent dealing with the highs and lows of his life. He is a shy yet brilliant young man with an amazing capacity for affection and compassion. I cried and laughed through the entire story. I would highly recommend this to anyone. It is a little graphic though, so I wouldn't recommend children to read it. Teenagers deinitely, adults most certainly! Parents- do you want to really know what on earth is going on with your teens? This will help you understand the horror that can be adolescence. The writing is brilliantly blunt and simple, creating something that is so real and familiar to the reader. I loved this book, and find myself reading over and over again. It's definitely worth your time!
