The Perks of Being a Wallflower YA edition

I loved this book and how Charlie had a lot of relatable thoughts throughout the novel.

It was a good interesting read

The perks of being a wallflower is a novel that talks about the story of Charlie, an observant teenager, who goes through his Highschool year. This story touches serious topics such as depression, sexual harassment and bullying. My favourite character in this novel is Charlie, because at the end of the book, he mentions that even though we can’t change the past, we can choose how to deal with the future, which I believe is great character development for Charlie taking in consideration how he was at the start of the book and at the end. I would definitely recommend this book because it was a lovely read in my opinion.

I liked the writing style and I enjoyed reading the book. There were boring parts but the rest of the book made up for it. I would definetly recommend it to someone

The best book ever written, one of my favourites, and I found things within the characters that relate to my life. Highly recommend.

It was a brilliant book with lots of drama!

Loved it. Great for teens

A true coming of age book. Tackles issues which teenagers will resonate with. A classic for modern times.

I can see why this book appeals to a YA market; there's a good mix of characters. there's a hint of something going on that we know we'll only find out about if we read the whole book, and the protagonist is a likeable guy. It looks at serious issues with a touch that isn't heavy-handed, and is a good representation of what it's like to be an outsider.

I didn't really have a favourite character, but I guess that the sister stood out for me more than the others - she was presented as both confident and vulnerable, and the way her character developed felt natural.

As far as reading the book to someone else - well, yes I would, but it would depend on the person. I think it's definitely a YA novel. Some of the time the characters - particularly the central one - were quite self-absorbed. Then again, a lot of the characters are having to deal with things that wouldn't be easy for adults to deal with, never mind teenagers. I'd probably recommend it to wallflowers!

i would recommend to older readers as it deals with very serious issues

A 'coming of age' story as told by letters from the protagonist to an unknown recipient.Written in a conversational tone, it is full of inspirational ideas and a resounding message that it is okay to be different and that as long as you actively participate in life you will find a place to belong. Highly recommended.

Right from the start of the book you could tell that something wasn’t right in Charlies life, there were holes in the stories that he would tell but that only left you wanting to read and find out more. This book is mainly helpful because it shines a light on really life situations that never get talked about; like having depression. It shows to you that it is okay to seek help, or go into mental rehab like Charlie did in the end. In my opinion one of the books most important messages is that if you have good friends who can care for and love you, you will find happiness with them, you will feel infinite.
