The Perks of Being a Wallflower
The Perks of Being a Wallflower
by Stephen Chbosky
Published in 1999
Personally, it is one of the best novel I have ever read!
Through his freshman year of high school, Charlie steps towards adulthood in a different way from his pioneers.
Perhaps what makes Charlie special is his ability to notice things, by things I mean the slightest details, and to interpret them. The novel addresses all the sides of Charlie's personality, including his aloofness as well as intelligence. The letters written by Charlie help us understand what he went through to an extent; they give a bird's eye view of his situation. The novel touches upon fundamental issues like mental health, which we are all now interested in it. The beautiful aspect of this novel is that it continues to unravel until the last page, and the reader will be surprised in the end!
