Hadley Marshburn’s Reviews > The Perks of Being a Wallflower > Status Update

Nothing important seems to be happening and I don’t remember there being a climax. I still enjoy the book, but I wish there was a better plot. Right now all of Charlie’s friends and sister are graduating. I did not realize that Charlie’s friends are the same age as his sister. I find it weird, but cool that he can hangout with people that much older than him without it being weird.

It feels as if the book is slowing down. There aren’t as many interesting details and events. Charlie just got into a fought against Brad and some football players to stand up for Patrick, which was interesting, but not interesting enough to make me want to keep reading.

Charlie has been going through relationship problems and being honest. When he is honest though things don’t work out which leaves him confused.

The book is good! I feel like it isn’t like most other books because there are a whole bunch of small conflicts that haven’t led to any climax’s. I am curious to see if anything will change as the book comes to and end because so far it has just been updates on Charlie’s life.

Charlie just went to a party and made some bad choices. In the story right now he is trying to recover from the choices he made. Charlie also just went through a rough time because it was his birthday which also happens to be the day his aunt Helen died.

I just read about Charlie’s birthday. I liked how the author stated that Charlie hates his birthday and then gave a reason or example as to why he hates his birthday so much. It really helped me understand Charlie and his family better.

I am starting to enjoy this book more and more! At this point in the story I am really getting to know all the characters and I feel as if I know the main character, Charlie, really well.
