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 t...

I will start this review with this book is worth reading. Don't let my review detour you from reading it. When I saw this book was in letter form I was excited. I love books that are like that even more if they are journal/diaries (i.e. Diary of Anne Frank). I figured since it was in that form it...

Back when this movie came out, I heard good things about it, but we had a baby and no free time, so never got around to seeing it. Then I heard it was based on a book, and I thought, well, at least I have time to read... but as I was reading blurbs and reviews of the book in preparation to buy, I ke...

Dear random kid I don't know, guess what I discovered yesterday? Masturbation! You know how many times I did it? Let me tell you the details. By the way, I...

This was by no means a bad book. Reading it just wasn't right for me at the time and was making me depressed.

Ugh!! I don’t get why this book is so highly rated. It is a boring and tedious recitation of a teenager’s life over the course of about a year. Charlie’s story is told through a series of letters he writes to an anonymous person. The recipient of the letters is not named and Charlie says in the ...

The Perks of Being a Wallflower was a book I missed growing up, even though I was right in the target age group when it was released. Overall I liked the book, but it didn't resonate with me like other contemporary YA books have. But if you like that genre I recommend picking this one up if you ha...

For quite a long time, I'd been putting off reading The Perks of Being a Wallflower. I just remember that when the film was released, a lot of people went totally nuts in both directions. There were people who raved about it and constantly quoted that one same quote (you know which one I mean), whic...
