Review Detail

Reader reviewed by Taylor

Drugs.. Death.. && The Rocky Horror Picture Show.. These three interesting elements are the root for The Perks of Being a Wallflower.

The story follows a boy, through his freshmen year of highschool. With the typical older jock brother, and the All-American sister, at first you think this book is going to be like every other teenage book. But the unique writing style of the author keeps you from putting the book down.

We don't know who the boy is, where he is from, or even the real name of anyone in his life, other then mom and dad. But thats okay, you don't really need to know.

You would think, when he falls for Sam, the beautiful senior girl, it is turning back into your typical teenage book, but again, it isn't, which you learn rather quickly.

And then there is the best friend, that is interested in guys, and is having an affair with the highschool quarterback.

There's all kinds of quirks that keep you interested in this book, but the lessons you read about in here, can really affect your own life. I enjoyed reading this book, it made me cry, smile, laugh out loud, and sometimes both at the same time.
