The Perks of Being a Wallflower (10/10)

The Perks of Being a Wallflower
Stephen Chbosky




                      I read the Perks of Being a Wallflower as a part of this year's booktube-a-thon. (The Challenge was to read someone else's favorite book.) The Perks of Being a Wallflower is an amazing and insightful story about a teenager named Charlie who writes letters about his life to an unknown recipient. The letters tell about his highs and lows through High School and almost act like a diary.


                      I loved this book. It isn't one of those books about a depressed teen that you can easily tell it was written by a white 40 year old man who has never experienced clinical mental problems but it still trying to write about them. (You probably just thought of a book that just fit that description.) This book is so relate-able.  it's scary. Even though it is set in the 90's it is still relevant today, considering I could relate to how Charlie felt easily. Even if I hadn't gone through the same experiences as Charlie, the way Chbosky describes Charlie's feelings and experiences makes me feel as if I'm going through exactly what Charlie is going through. This book has a huge plot twist at the end (Which of course you have to read to find out what it is), as well as other events that made me upset, but also made me smile with joy. Charlie is the most profound and eloquent teenager I have ever read about, and there are ideas in this book that are so true they should be taught in schools. I give this book a 10/10 because I love it that much. It's easily one of my favorites. If you want to be a writer or just want to read a great story I definitely  recommend you read this book.

                   Thanks for reading another one of my reviews, I will see you in the next one.
