The Perks Of Being A Wallflower By Stephen Chbosky Review

In 2012, the month of September the great book 'The Perks Of Being A Wallflower' made it to the big screen. Having no idea about the book or even knowing it was from a book I watched the movie. I loved it, I really did. Even though I was too young to understand some parts of the movie I still ADORED the characters and the storyline. When I was informed it was book, two and bit years later I finally got to read it.




I have to say I was very surprised at the style of writing, it's not a very hard read. BUT THIS BOOK WILL TOIL WITH YOUR EMOTIONS UNTIL YOU CRY. I have to say this is probably one of my favourite novels and if you are even considering reading this book just do it ! Like now, go read. The situations and characters and personalities in this book are just utterly incredible. Reading it was incredible. I'm pretty sure its changed me as a person. I've never read anything like it. It's just really great. 

Charlie enters high school alone and quite terrified. He meets some different characters known as Patrick and Sam. They become friends and share their knowledge of life and their purpose in it. This leads to new friendships and events Charlie never thought he'd be apart of. He finds himself fitting in with his favourite people. All the while Charlie is going through difficult things from his past and has to decide to overcome it or let it consume him. This an amazing book and should be on everyone's 'to-read' list.
