The book, Perks of Being a Wallflower was a book that I honestly could not put down. Charlie starts the book off being a shy kid with no friends, who has lost his best friend to suicide. The story takes you on an adventure with Charlies new friends and the adventures they take. Stephen Chbosky's, Perks of Being a Wallflower is easy to read and relate to, and is a very fun book to read.
Charlie, the main character, lives with his parents and his older sister. His older brother has gone off the college to play at Penn State and hopes to become a NFL player. Charlie is not very close with his other family, like grandparents and cousins, but was very close with his Aunt Helen who has passes away, and left him with some shaky memories that surprised me, to say the least. Charlie makes friends at the beginning of the school year, and the closest to him are Patrick and Sam who take Charlie under their wing and are close friends to him.
The style of this book is very different. Charlie is writing letters to someone who he doesn't even know. Charlie has just heard good things of this person, and thinks that the two would get along very good.
The setting of this book ranges from days in high school, to the golf course tee box, and even to the doctor about some serious issues with Charlie's sister. Charlie even has a great adventure through the "tunnel" which is a very amazing part of this book.
I would recommend this book to most people, but not people with closes minds about some things mentioned in this book. This book is very entertaining, but is very different, which I loved but some people may not like.
