But seriously, don't read this (depressing, tedious) book!

It seemed like he was really immature, even though he was supposed to be this profoundly smart, misunderstood kid. However, I got used to the way the book was written and was soon pulled into the story. I found it very depressing but I appreciated how blunt and unflinchingly straightforward it could be. I particuarly liked the relationship of Charlie

I was surprised at how much I enjoyed this book. Its well written and you could relate to the characters. Normally, I do not like books like this and almost didnt read it.
I am finally finished with this stupid book!
