The Perks of Being a Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky Review

I’m not sure about this one. I liked the simple, flowy, unique writing style of Chbosky’s. It was nice, descriptive in some parts; but it also felt lazy and as if many could replicate it. It was easy to read though, and I enjoyed that considering the dark topics the book discusses.

This book talks a lot about a bunch of different triggering topics (TW/SPOILER) (view spoiler) ⨯ . ⁺ ✦ ⊹ ꙳ ⁺ ‧ ⨯. ⁺ ✦ ⊹ . * ꙳ ✦ ⊹

This book talks a lot about a bunch of different triggering topics (TW/SPOILER) (view spoiler), and honestly in that spoiler thing, I’m 99% sure that I forgot a lot. I liked the representation of different triggering topics and issues in the world, but at the same time I felt like Chbosky brought all of this shit up and completely dismissed it all. The main character, Charlie, goes through and/or witnesses all of this, and they mainly ignore an issue then bring up another one. Over and over and over again… How/Why did the author bring all of these topics up and continue to dismiss them as a temporary little pain for a few weeks? I’m not sure if I’m the only one to feel this way. (TW/SPOILER) (view spoiler)

I liked the characters. They definitely had their flaws though.

This book is about MC Charlie who has made it to his freshman year of high after a tough time in eighth grade. He befriends the kind seniors Sam and Patrick, and they help him throughout the year. Charlie try’s to heal after unfortunate events from the past.

3 or 3.5 stars? I liked the book, it made me cry; It has a lot of flaws, but in the end it was worth a read. Can’t wait to watch the movie!
