I will admit that the movie is what made me read the book. I can’t see movies without reading the book so I forced myself to read this one so I can see the movie. I am so glad that I made myself read this one finally! The Perks of Being a Wallflower is told all in letters from Charlie to an anonymous friend. To me, this style of writing did two things. It made the story quicker and easier to read (and it’s already a pretty quick book since it’s only 213 pages.) It also made the story seem more real. You never find out who the anonymous friend is and it’s almost like Charlie is just writing letters to the reader. This is one of my favorite styles of writing and I loved it in this book in particular. Charlie was such a unique main character. Everything that Charlie went through killed me. I laughed with him, I cried with him, I went through every emotion. As for his friends, they were all perfect. They brought out different sides of him and they helped him grow so much. The Perks of Being a Wallflower definitely deserves all the praise it’s been getting. If you haven’t picked it up yet, do so now!
It sounds like a interesting book. They way he writes sounds really cool.
