Review: An Enjoyable read that engulfs you with the Characters - Damn, this book was amazing. And it's not one of those books where you figure out how amazing it is at the beginning, or even through the first half. It slowly creeps up on you. Or at least is slowly crept up on me. And the more I read, the more I loved it. And now that I've read it, I can safely say that this book definitely will go on a list of my favorite books ever. And another thing I should mention is that I've been avoiding this book for a while. One of the reasons was because I thought it was over-hyped (silly me). But then, finally, we had to read this book for University, and I'm so glad that the professor choose this book. It was the first book which I had to read, that I absolutely loved. And I haven't seen the movie, so I didn't know anything about the plot. And I'm glad that that was the case. The Perks of Being A Wallflower is a coming-of-age story. But it is also so much more than that. It is a story about a boy named Charlie who just started high school. Because he felt alone and scared, he started writing letters to... well to whoever is reading this book. At the beginning, I didn't quite like Charlie as a character. He cried way too much, and was a bit weird. But as the book went, I started liking him more and more. I also stared understanding him, and actually relating to him. Also, I liked most of the other characters (some more, some less). Yeah, they all had some flaws, and they all did some things which I sometimes didn't understand why, but we all act like that sometimes. One more thing that I absolutely loved was the friendship between Charlie, Sam and Patrick. I really wish I had a friendship like they did, in my own high school. It would certainly made things easier. I also loved that this book felt so nostalgic. Even though I finished high school not that long ago, it still brought me back to days when I just started school. And I loved that it did. So many times I've read a quote that described perfectly how I felt back then (or sometimes even now), which I couldn't find words to describe. But Charlie described it perfectly. Now, I should probably stop here and end this review, before I get too emotional. So in conclusion, I loved this book, and I can't say how much I'm glad that I've finally read it. And I'm sure that I'll re-read it many times in the future. Review: One of the very best books you'll get to read. - I feel, More than a real lot, a book gives you a hell of an experience, and this experience was an unforgettable, lovely, memorable and what not one, once I started reading this one, I couldn't stop turning pages and couldn't skip a single word and never felt not into it. The narrator here is a kid, and he writes letters to someone he knows but doesn't reveals about himself to him. Whole book is all letters that he wrote to him about all that was happening in his life and what he thought and perhaps learned from it. Hence, the narration was supposed to be childish, naive, and cute and then had to portray the emotions too at the same time. "I have to stop writing now because I am too sad." This was so cute. And funny. And sad. And exact. So many feelings at the same time. "I didn't feel like reading that night, so I went downstairs and watched a half-hour long commercial that advertised an exercise machine. They kept flashing a 1-800 number, so I called it. The woman who picked up the other end of the phone was named Michelle. And I told Michelle that I was a kid and did not need an exercise machine, but I hoped she was having a good night." This thing made me laugh so hard and I had to go to my friend who lives in the next room to share it because I felt like I had to share it with someone close. If you have the context, you will feel that this thing has a strange hint of loneliness and sadness and maybe morbidity. And this book is full of such things and you will fall in love with it for that. This book also involved things about perspectives in life, and just like everything else, I loved them like one here, "So, I guess we are who we are for a lot of reasons. And maybe we'll never know most of them. But even if we don't have the power to choose where we come from, we can still choose where we go from there. We can still do things. And we can try to feel okay about them.” I was crying and laughing at the same time. ## Features - The Perks of Being a Wallflower - Excellent gift item - It is made up of premium quality material. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #3,693 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #1 in LGBTQ+ Fiction for Young Adults #1 in Young Adult Fiction LGBTQ+ Issues #2 in Literary Fiction for Young Adults | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 42,686 Reviews | ## Images ![Perks Of Being A Wallflower - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/814wqBWSyOL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An Enjoyable read that engulfs you with the Characters *by R***A on 28 October 2016* Damn, this book was amazing.
