The Perks of Being a Wallflower is a quick little YA read. Its the story of Charlie who strikes the reader as not quite normal for a fifteen year old. His oddness becomes more and more apparent as the tale goes on.
The story is told as a series of letters which is not at all my fave way of story telling, but it seems necessary for Charlie's situation to unfold gradually. I loved his parents! Loved them and their very unstereotypical ways. I also liked that he did a lot of things that didn't have consequences which kept it from being an after-school-special type story.
This is a nice and solid little book. I give it a 7.5.
Glad you liked this. It's one of my all-time favorites.
