Book Review: Perks of Being Wallflower

The Perks of Being a Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky

The Perks of Being a Wallflower is a book told from Charlie Peter's first person point of view. The interesting thing about this book is that it is told through entries that Charlie records in his journal, making it extremely fun to read considering the short entries and the easy dialogue that the high schooler uses. The book is mostly about Charlie’s experiences as a freshman. He starts out with no friends because the only one he had committed suicide in 8^th grade, giving Charlie a rough start at his new high school. Eventually Charlie meets new friends who are seniors and they give Charlie a year to remember, to say the least.

I would definately recommend this book to anyone who likes books with unexpected twists and also to anyone in high school due to the fun and real circumstances of the book.

You can find this book in the DHS library. Find it. Check it out. Read it. J

This book tells you to be a risk taker instead of standing on the fringes of life.  It gives you a different perspective on life.  This book shows you the course of a special territory known as hgih school.  It also talks all about the drama of high school, such as the pressures with sex, drugs, and all the other chaotic tasks that we undergo at school.  The narrarator has written the novel through letters to an unkown friend.  It's like a diary that is meant to be read by the public. 

I really do recommend reading it.  It has an amazing plot!
