Dane's Review: The Perks of Being a Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky

A book that is truly unique in its delivery of a first person style novel. Charlie, a young man, is writing letters filled with some of the most shocking and relateable excerpts from his own life. He is writing simply to a "friend" and just needs to send these letters. While writing about himself and his past, he reveals the people in his life, leaving the reader to piece together bits to see the character in these people he writes about.
This story is very well written and captivating, unique, and exciting, and left me turning pages of this coming-of-age novel. Although some adult themes are found throughout the book, it's definitely worth cracking open and giving some time.
