Summary
"I walk around the school hallways and look at the people。 I look at the teachers and wonder why they're here。 Not in a mean way。 In a curious way。 It's like looking at all the students and wondering who's had their heart broken that day。。。or wondering who did the heart breaking and wondering why。"
Charlie is a freshman。 And while he's not the biggest geek in the school， he is by no means popular。 Shy， introspective， intelligent beyond his years yet socially awkward， he is a wallflower， caught between trying to live his life and trying to run from it。 Charlie is attempting to navigate his way through uncharted territory: the world of first dates and mixed tapes， family dramas and new friends; the world of sex， drugs， and The Rocky Horror Picture Show， when all one requires is that perfect song on that perfect drive to feel infinite。 But Charlie can't stay on the sideline forever。 Standing on the fringes of life offers a unique perspective。 But there comes a time to see what it looks like from the dance floor。
The Perks of Being a Wallflower is a deeply affecting coming-of-age story that will spirit you back to those wild and poignant roller-coaster days known as growing up。

This book is about a socially awkward teenager who doesn’t seem to fit in anywhere until he is befriended by a group of older teenagers。 The book explores how he changes and learns how to be more confident。 Eventually his friends all leave school but he now has a new outlook on life and although it’s hard for him he will never forget the time he had with those friends and goes about his life completely differently

Un libro intrigante， con una scrittura non proprio facile e leggera da capire

The Perks of being a wallflower is about Charlie a introverted， sensitive and observant teenager （thats why 'wallflower' in the title） who is starting high school and is really nervous about it。To cope up with the anxiety he confines to a strange who he feels won't mind reading about his life。 Charlie does this through letters and these letters are what make up this book。 Every letter begins with the date and 'Dear friend，' and ends with 'Love always， Charlie'。The story as narrated by Charlie ta The Perks of being a wallflower is about Charlie a introverted， sensitive and observant teenager （thats why 'wallflower' in the title） who is starting high school and is really nervous about it。To cope up with the anxiety he confines to a strange who he feels won't mind reading about his life。 Charlie does this through letters and these letters are what make up this book。 Every letter begins with the date and 'Dear friend，' and ends with 'Love always， Charlie'。The story as narrated by Charlie takes us through his 1st year in high school and his relationship with Sam and Patrick。 We see Charlie go through friendships and love， highs （sometimes literal） and lows， through mental breakdowns and anxiety， heartbreaks and learning how to love; the story is literally an emotional rollercoaster。We see the building of a beautiful friendship among the three and how Sam and Patrick become Charlies 'favourite people'。 They guide him through life in high school being his seniors。 They are always there for eachother even at the worst of times。Charlie's story teaches us valueable lessons of dealing with life。 That we don't have be alone in our darkest times， it ok to be sad because even if some people have it worse than you， only you have to deal with what comes your way。 That when the good times， relationships etc come to an end instead of sulking about it we should be glad it happened and cherish the people and time we have now in the present。 The book gets extremely dark at times however there always a chuckle around the corner。 Now that I look back it had almost as many wholesome moments and hilarious anecdotes as the grimmer ones。（PS。 This book also has some brilliant song recommendations and the books that Bill makes Charlie read are definitely going on my tbr。 ） 。。。more

OMGG i loved it。 It was so sad。 the story was very interesting and seeing how the innocences of the main character had developed and broken down quite frequently with a lot of traumatizing moments。 I was left feeling attached to the main character， a comfort character as some may call it， and It left me with a new out look in life。 Love when books are able to make you feel that way。 Anyway， I am not going to lie after I finished reading I immediately went to go see the movie and I strongly belie OMGG i loved it。 It was so sad。 the story was very interesting and seeing how the innocences of the main character had developed and broken down quite frequently with a lot of traumatizing moments。 I was left feeling attached to the main character， a comfort character as some may call it， and It left me with a new out look in life。 Love when books are able to make you feel that way。 Anyway， I am not going to lie after I finished reading I immediately went to go see the movie and I strongly believe the book is better just because there was obviously more details that led me to fall in love with some of the bonds the characters had。 Overall great book！ 。。。more

I wanted to like the story， I really did。 There were times it really was sweet- but overall， I was frustrated with the casual mention of several very serious topics。 Suicide， rape， abortion， child molestation， drug use， mental health。 It shows what a different era we are In from when this was published。

I have never felt so dented by a book before。 The perks of being a wallflower made me stare into the blurry pages and reevaluate everything。 I watched the movie prior to the book。 I understand what aunt Helen did to an extent。 The book showed the true and raw reactions Charlie felt toward her in the most subtle and powerful way possible。

Classic coming of age story about friends love and what it's like to be a teenager on the outside。 I loved this book something about it makes you feel a little less alone in a world of crazy。 Classic coming of age story about friends love and what it's like to be a teenager on the outside。 I loved this book something about it makes you feel a little less alone in a world of crazy。 。。。more

Es una novela que cuenta la historia de Charlie un chico， bastante tímido y con muchas ideas en su cabeza。 Intenta ser feliz， intenta vivir la vida aún cometiendo los mil errores que se pueden hacer en la adolescencia， sin embargo， cuenta con la fortuna de encontrarse con personas como Patrick y Sam， quienes le enseñan el valor de la amistad y la incondicionalidad de ser amigos。 Este grupo viven sus problemas a su manera， no obstante， existen personajes que aparecen para salvar el día y alinear Es una novela que cuenta la historia de Charlie un chico， bastante tímido y con muchas ideas en su cabeza。 Intenta ser feliz， intenta vivir la vida aún cometiendo los mil errores que se pueden hacer en la adolescencia， sin embargo， cuenta con la fortuna de encontrarse con personas como Patrick y Sam， quienes le enseñan el valor de la amistad y la incondicionalidad de ser amigos。 Este grupo viven sus problemas a su manera， no obstante， existen personajes que aparecen para salvar el día y alinear las cosas， el padre， la madre， la hermana， el profe Bill， representan ese ancla en nuestras vidas y que nos ayudan a estar enfocados para seguir viviendo。 Me sentí muy identificado con algunos pensamientos de Charlie y con la personalidad del padre y el profesor， era como verme a un espejo mientras leía las lineas de lo que decían y hacían。 ¿Recomiendo este libro？Claro que sí， pero tal como menciona el profe Bill en el libro， hay que ser un filtro no una esponja， como todo en la vida。 Relación película/libro:Por supuesto que el libro supera la película， pues nos da detalles que ni se mencionan en el film y nos cuenta una historia más profunda y me atrevo a decir que desde una visión más amplia。 Sin embargo， la película， cuenta con ese toque de musicalidad y tragedia rosa hollywoodense， lo que es propio del cine contemporáneo。 Definitivamente si tienes la oportunidad de leer o ver la película， hazlo， ambas son memorables。 DATO CURIOSO: A medida que vas leyendo el libro te van dando canciones muy buenas que puedes escucharla mientras sigues las lineas。 Por ejemplo， ASLEEP de SMITH。 。。。more

The perks of being a wallflower is a book compressed of letters Charlie is writing to a friend about his life， he tells about his life experiences as he sees them。 However， you get a feeling like Charlie is concealing something。 He talks about his visits to psychiatrists but nothing （about his mental disease and the cause） is clearly told until much later in the book。 I loved that it was so real。 The mental health aspects were typically discussed by the characters as they are in our society and The perks of being a wallflower is a book compressed of letters Charlie is writing to a friend about his life， he tells about his life experiences as he sees them。 However， you get a feeling like Charlie is concealing something。 He talks about his visits to psychiatrists but nothing （about his mental disease and the cause） is clearly told until much later in the book。 I loved that it was so real。 The mental health aspects were typically discussed by the characters as they are in our society and that made me like it but also sick。 It had me in tears at a lot of parts。 I had never read a book about ptsd before and after this i think i understand how being in these people's head might feel like。The language was simple， small sentences and easy to breeze through， though， the events were not but i would highly recommend you to read it！ 。。。more

really liked the style of letter writing， and I thought it was written simply but with a lot of depth at the same time。 i feel like a lot of people can relate to so many aspects of this novel。

Releer este libro fue una de las mejores decisiones que tomé en lo que va de este año。 Fuera de joda。 LO AMÉ。 Siento que la primera vez que lo leí （que habrá sido allá por el 2013/2014） no lo supe apreciar lo suficiente。 En cambio hoy， wow， simplemente wow。 Marque muchísimas frases que me encantaron， cosas que necesitaba “escuchar”。 Definitivamente eso recomiendo muchísimo， para que se den una idea: pienso releerlo nuevamente en algún momento。 Fin de la anécdota :）

i know a lot of ppl don’t really like when books are written in a different way than the standard form， but i love it。 i think it always adds a different aspect and makes it unique。 i’ve seen the movie before， so i knew what happened， but it was still an amazing book。 i did think that charlie sounded a little younger than his intended age。 i thought this book was beautiful and had a lot of amazing insights and touched on a lot of important topics。 a big focal point of this book was the question i know a lot of ppl don’t really like when books are written in a different way than the standard form， but i love it。 i think it always adds a different aspect and makes it unique。 i’ve seen the movie before， so i knew what happened， but it was still an amazing book。 i did think that charlie sounded a little younger than his intended age。 i thought this book was beautiful and had a lot of amazing insights and touched on a lot of important topics。 a big focal point of this book was the question ‘why？’。 charlie wants to know the ‘why’ about everything。 he’s curious about mundane and boring things。 he’s curious about why things are the way they are。 he’s a very insightful character。 i think i’m just dumb but i still don’t know who he was writing to lol。 。。。more

I really enjoyed this book。 I could relate to Charlie as I found high school difficult and different。 But like endless others， we survive those years。 I did not see the ending coming！

ok this one took me on a bit of a ride。 i read it bc it's one of my best friend's favorite books and it was sitting at a 3 star rating for me for a while which was surprising bc we usually have pretty similar taste。 but those last 20 pages or so did it for me。 i think i'd need to reread this bc i'm sure theres a bunch of stuff i missed and i honestly haven't fully grasped the story as a whole yet but the end made me feel，， a lot。 and it made it worth it！！ ok this one took me on a bit of a ride。 i read it bc it's one of my best friend's favorite books and it was sitting at a 3 star rating for me for a while which was surprising bc we usually have pretty similar taste。 but those last 20 pages or so did it for me。 i think i'd need to reread this bc i'm sure theres a bunch of stuff i missed and i honestly haven't fully grasped the story as a whole yet but the end made me feel，， a lot。 and it made it worth it！！ 。。。more
