REVIEW

The Perks of Being a Wallflower


The Perks of Being a Wallflower is written by Stephen Chbosky. He was born in 1970 in Pennsylvania in the USA. The book tells the story about the high-school student Charlie. Charlie writes letters to an unknown person, but starts always with “dear friend”. In these letters he tells about his life. He is a very sentimental guy, who tries to cope growing up, friendships and love. Charlie is a trustworthy boy and everyone can lean on him. He wants to be a good friend, good son and a good brother. But there are things, which are happened in his past, which he has to come over and finds his own right way to society.


It’s a really naturalistic book, which shows all the horrible and great, important and unimportant, easy and complicated events in a teenager’s life. In this book you can find nearly every problem a young person could have with love, friendship and finding the right way. The reader goes with Charlie through all his bad and good times. This is a very exciting and startling story. It’s a book which is able to make you thinking. It’s a book full of hope and confidence, and Charlie can (with his philosophic appendage) touch your heart more than once. It’s a book about learning to be like you want to be, never give up and finally how important it is to be loved (particularly for Charlie). I think it’s a really advisable book. We have to thank Stephen Chbosky.
