The Perks of Being a Wallflower
by Stephen Chbosky
This book was really tough for me to rate. I originally picked it up because I absolutely loved the movie. Because of the format that it’s written in, I think I preferred the movie version. It was more visual. There isn’t a lot of description when a book is written in letter format. This book really reminded me of The Catcher in the Rye. It was written in first pov that really made you feel like you were in Charlie’s head. It was like word vomit and this really showed his state of mind. As someone who has anxiety, I really appreciated that because over thinking is what I do, much like Charlie. He went through so much and in the end, I was really glad he has so many people who loved him and supported him. It was a great book, very emotional.
