Perks Of Being A Wallflower

When this new year began, I was full of vigour. Ready to take the year by storm. But little did I know that the feeling was short lived. Because, after that came—the reading slumber. I had hoards of books waiting for me to dive in; only I didn’t want to.
.
.
But staying away from books for so long is it really possible? No right? And so, I grabbed Perks of being a Wallflower to shake myself off the reader’s block. It’s here I met Charlie, a teenage boy going through the phases of growing up. I highly resonated with his Confused, Indecisive, New to the World feelings. It really felt like I was him and he was me. I wasn’t handling my feelings well. To be honest I didn’t know how I felt and why I felt the way I did. It felt as though we were two people on the same boat.
.
.
The letters were his way of finding relief and mine was reading them. Through his letters I realised, the gruesome reality of the society starts young. It lives off them in plain sight but gets overlooked. Just because the innocent souls fail to box it correctly. Time follows its course, and shapes individuals through their experiences. Sometimes goodness takes the lead, and other times it doesn't. The question remains what is to become of the person in that case? Charlie? If it does, I hope he or she too finds a soul to write letters to.

Reading the book, I was extremely optimistic—I've heard so much positivity about it. There was a movie that some said was just as good as the book, which gave me the impression that the overall content was great.

But I was extremely bored for the entire first half of the book. It was painfully boring, and I kept reading over and over about how "deeply" this kid thought. Which, in hindsight, wasn't deep at all. It was all surface-level observations that made reading the book a task. This kid didn't seem special at all. He would get sad and suffer from obvious signs of an anxiety disorder. Perhaps people admire the book because of his habit of overthinking and can relate to it, but that aspect alone wasn't capable of reviving any kind of strong admiration for the book within me. I think all the author wanted was to have the book relate to the audience, then have all these side characters like Bill revel at how mature and gifted Charlie is, so the audience can in their way feel special too. But, Charlie didn't seem special at all. He is merely a high schooler trying to navigate through life, he is in no way more complicated or different from the rest of the people in his life. He was just as much of an asshole as the other people are.

I recognize that Charlie is still a kid, but so are the rest of the characters in the story, too. He wasn't any better than them, but I couldn't help but feel like the author was trying to make it seem that he was special and entitled to certain attitudes when he wasn't. I interpreted the incident with Mary Elizabeth walking out, crying after Charlie kissed Sam as a result of a dare as the story's climax. (To me, this climax managed to break the curse of mundaneness that plagued the plot) Charlie is exasperated, being subjected to a one-sided relationship with Mary Elizabeth. Reading the story, the audience may feel inclined to side with Charlie- Mary Elizabeth does seem like an insufferable person! She cannot bring herself to ask Charlie a single question for the duration of their relationship, and that doesn't sound like a relationship I would want to be involved in. But how did Charlie react? He chose to go through with Patrick's dare of "kissing the prettiest girl in the room" and kissed Sam, a crush with an uncomfortable age gap. (I know Charlie is 16 and older than the typical freshman, but still . . . Seriously? An 18 and a 16-year-old? I can't be the only one that thinks that's a little fucked up.) And reasonably so, Mary Elizabeth got distressed over this incident- Because Charlie never communicated his issues with her! He was an asshole! While I don't blame him for his actions to find a way to end the relationship while being honest with everyone, he was an asshole! No one has a right to criticize another until they've made an effort to express their discomfort or issues. If someone was constantly referring to me with a distasteful nickname, I have no right to be angry and allow resentment to manifest until I assert my boundaries. Until Charlie outlined his thoughts, he had no right to cope with the relationship in the way HE CHOSE TO.

After the climax, the plot didn't get any better. I specifically recall Bill inviting Charlie to his house, and not enough people realize how strange this dynamic is. It is unprofessional, ENTIRELY. Charlie is a freshman and will continue to be a student within this school district- any basic-level educator knows how essential it is to assert a boundary between them and students to maintain the power dynamic of educator and learner. Bill COMPLETELY disregards this and invites a student to his home! It is weird! Teachers and any educator cannot disregard the responsibility of maintaining that power dynamic, yet that's what Bill does, from the beginning to the end, which truly paints him out to be a groomer. And he's praising him over being special? When I've been given no reason to believe this man whatsoever- he has an anxiety disorder, so what? Everyone is complicated, everyone lives complex lives that have nurtured them to be specific kinds of people. Just because everyone differs from Charlie does not mean they are inferior or dumb or are not as smart as Charlie. Just the relationships surrounding Charlie are so . . . peculiar- A teacher that looks like he's going to groom him, a too much older girl into him, all for the sake of making him seem mature? For what reason?

I will admit, I like how I felt like I was a character in the story, with how Charlie addressed the readers. It was very creative and I admire the author for having Charlie be a victim of sexual assault, but I wish that aspect took more precedence within the plot. There is not enough representation of men being victims of sexual assault, but it was hardly ever mentioned in the book.

I think it's overrated. I understand the hype, I felt touched by the book. However, the things they say are very common knowledge. all reviews I've seen act like this book is saying things no one could've ever thought of, but in my eyes, it's what everyone goes through. I understand the books purpose is to be relatable, but I thought it would give a new perspective. Although, the last chapter was really touching and moving.

[Madi Burton · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is sooooo beautifully written and I love how we get to understand everyone’s perspective. This book has so little pages and yet is still able to make me wanna curl up and ball my eyes out in a corner. I loved the characters, the plot, the story I loved it all. DID NOT DISAPPOINT AT ALLLLL

The perks of being a wallflower, by Stephen Chbosky, is a very popular novel which then got turned into a movie. The novel is about a boy, Charlie, who writes letters to an unknown person. We never know exactly who he is writing to, but he does explain why he is writing. Every ‘chapter’ begins with a “Dear Friend” and always ends with a “Love always, Charlie” (Chbosky). All the letters take place throughout his freshman year in high school. Each letter is just another story about what is going on in his life. He writes about everything. Every thought and idea he has, every important thing he does, every crazy situation, everything.
There are quite a few reasons why this book includes censorship. Some context points for why include: sexual context and descriptions, drug use, physical and emotional abuse, childhood incest, homosexuality, abortion, and one of the most main points, suicide. Almost all teens and young adults struggle with at least one of these points. Now someone may take all these reasons as the exact example of why this book should be banned and take part in censorship, but I take these reasons for the exact opposite. I believe people who struggle with such things need to have access to books like these. They need this access to help them express their problems and read about people going through the same things, to be able to see they are not alone.
Further expressing that thought, banning these types of books closes the door for all people who need something like this. People who may be experiencing thoughts of suicide or going through depression can read this book and see how someone else who experienced it, got through it. “Not thinking anything. Not feeling anything.” (Chbosky 137). Someone who maybe got too far into drugs and needs to realize how bad they are for you, can see how someone else got through it. “Regardless, I decided to never take LSD again” (Chbosky 100). Someone going through physical abuse can read through this and see how others got through it. “And he wound up and hit her hard across the face” (Chbosky 11). Moreover, there are so many ways someone can use this book to help them but if they never even get the chance to read it, how will they ever know?
In the beginning of the book, one of the characters feels infinite in one amazing moment with a certain song playing and going from the town, through the tunnel, into the city. Later, the main character does the same thing, in the same place, with the same song. The connection this character has with this place allows them to feel “infinite”. “Because I was standing in the tunnel. And I was really there. And that was enough to make me feel infinite.” (Chbosky 213). This takes place in the epilogue and it was an ending that proved all the things the characters went through, they got through. This can also be further explained with the metaphor of taking the tunnel from the town to the city. Throughout the book the characters went through hard times and struggled with certain aspects of their life. Towards the end of the book all things started looking better for them and they got through it. Them going through the tunnel at the end of the book represents them going through everything they did. When they reach the city, that is them making it. The beautiful city lights, wind blowing through the characters arms, and the amazing song playing in the background, all show they made it through. They were able to overcome all their struggles and do something fun and exciting in a place that made them feel so good. This also challenges the reasons for censorship and further establishes why people need this book.
This book was very enjoyable to read. It had a great plot and kept me hooked the entire time. It had ideas and situations that I have personally gone through, and I bet so many others have gone through some of these situations too. Furthermore, it allowed me to connect to some characters and feel I was a part of it, and I love that about books and shows. When you are reading/watching and you feel right there with the characters, then the author/director has done a great job. I purchased this book on Amazon, and so can you. It was only $11 and I got it in two days. You can even get an audiobook for half the price. I would definitely recommend you take the time to read this book.

[Abbie Bettig · Rating 5 out of 5]

The Perks of Being a Wallflower is a book that follows the main character, Charlie through a portion of his life and the story is written through a series of letters that are not addressed to anyone in particular which allows the reader to determine whom he is writing the letters. There is mention of family members and friends throughout the book in the different chapters (or letters) and as you go through the book you learn new facts that you can connect to comments that were made earlier on in the book. Charlie is a young man who has experienced a lot of traumas in his life, and this is reflected throughout the book which can really make you feel sorry for Charlie, his situation and his life experiences.

I think there is something in the book that can relate to everyone in one way or another, even if there is much of it that doesn't.The book goes through Charlie's coming of age, as he embraces high school and things that high school students often experience. The text is unique in that the letters contain some experiences that can be upsetting to read about, and someone reading it needs to be cautious of the content that can include religious views, abortion, and abuse. While this might now be a book for everyone, I really enjoyed this book and what is offered. I liked how I could put myself in Charlie's shoes and sympathize with him while at the same time wonder why he was so slow to comprehend certain parts. It was addicting and one of those books that you can't put down once you start reading it. It can definitely be a book that sparks discussion.

Não dava nada por este livro, mas estou aqui para dizer que ele é tudo.

Ele é bem bonito e entrega absolutamente tudo.
A escrita é boa e é bem interessante que parece mesmo um adolescente de 15 anos escrevendo, algumas vezes há erros de pontuação ou escrita que eu achei divertido e ate engraçado o Charlie todo enrolado para escrever algumas coisas.

Todos os personagens são tão legais que eu também quero ser amiga deles!
Sinceramente, eu procuro ter a maturidade da Sam.

Eu acredito que esse livro poderia ser sobre qualquer pessoa de qualquer idade encontrando amigos incríveis e ele funcionaria. Não importa se o Charlie tivesse 15 ou 30 anos porque meio que o livro não é sobre um adolescente se encontrando no mundo, mas sobre uma pessoa se encontrando no mundo ou como ele se sente diante do mundo... sei la, me parece um sentimento meio universal. Talvez por eu ter me identificado tanto com o Charlie em alguns momentos que para mim fez total sentido. Eu já me senti muitas vezes como ele no passado ou até no presente.

Eu não imaginava que poderia dar 5 estrelas para esse livro, mas ele me divertiu, me fez rir e me fez pensar sobre a vida, até mesmo sobre quem eu era e quem eu sou agora hahaha e quem eu quero ser diante do mundo. Eu meio que me senti infinita lendo ele.

I originally watched this movie (I know crazy, watching the movie before reading) during my freshman year of high school and I loved it so much, it was mid quarantine and I was a lonely 15 year old and resonated a lot with Charlie. I read this book near the end of my senior year a few months ago; I was bored and saw a tiktok edit of the movie and remembered there happens to be a novel. I read this during a special period of my life about to close a large chapter and start a potentially even larger new one. This book is both sad and happy, and as my third grade teacher says “melancholy”. I don’t really know how to go about reviewing it, I loved this book to pieces and I think hundreds of thousands of have felt the same and hundreds of thousands more will read it and love it too. It’s truly a fantastic book.

[Anoopma Mishra · Rating 3 out of 5]

The book is written in the form of letters, which makes it feel very personal.
It tells the story of Charlie, I feel he is a quiet and thoughtful teenager.
Charlie struggles with friendship, love, and painful memories.
The book captures the confusion of high school life very realistically.
It talks about serious issues like trauma, mental health, and identity.
At the same time, it shows the joy of finding true friends.
The writing is simple but very emotional and powerful. Many readers can see parts of themselves in Charlie’s story.
The novel leaves you thinking about kindness and understanding others.
Overall, it’s a moving coming of age story that stays with you.

[yara penfold · Rating 3 out of 5]

this book had a lot more emotional range and depth than I expected. I read it as a ‘light read’ because I wanted to get out of a reading slump and it really helped with that but I didn’t expect it to also be so complex even though the language is quite basic and manageable. This is the first time I’ve read it and I’ve never seen the movie and I would recommend to people who are thinking about buying it. It gives a different perspective on how SA is dealt with and the unknown trauma that it leaves whether you are conscious of it or not. All in all a really good book!!

"The Perks of Being A Wallflower" by Stephen Chbosky holds a deeply personal place in my heart. This novel has been a constant companion. Through the eyes of Charlie. Charlie is my personal favorite character. The writing is hauntingly beautiful, capturing the essence of human vulnerability and resilience. This novel isn't just my favorite it's life changing. I watched the movie before the book and they are both insanely amazing.

Premier livre de 2025 hahahha.
J’ai vraiment adoré aimé lire ce livre. J’ai vraiment aimé le personnage de Charlie, son hypersensibilité à la souffrance des autres mais en même temps cette incapacité à comprendre ce qui le traverse lui ? J’ai vraiment relate à ce trait de caractère.
J’ai beaucoup aimé le fait que parfois, l’auteur nous laisse la place d’imaginer. C’est quelque chose que j’ai vraiment aimé.
Bref 4 étoiles parce que je me suis vue à certains moments à travers cette lecture.

I will give this book 4.5 stars. I really didn't expect this book to be that good. This book is so beautifully written and I really like to read his letters to a friend. I loved how I understand everyone's perspective and I love all the characters! I certainly didn't expect this book to be so much fun and I would definitely recommend it!

[Atefeh · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is one of my favorite books. When I first watched the movie, I immediately knew I would love the book, and I’m so glad I read it. I could really relate to Charlie. The book covers so many different topics, but it’s written so beautifully that everything feels relevant and meaningful.
I recommend it %100.

[Heidi · Rating 5 out of 5]

This was an amazing book and I loved reading it so much. It’s told in an epistolary style and I thought I would hate that but it was actually really fun to read. I love the characters and the main character, Charlie, is so real 🔥🔥

[Aleksander Einarson · Rating 4 out of 5]

An emotional read with many highs and lows. One paragraph you’ll be amused at slight and realistic humour of the main character and his friends, the next you’ll be tearing up over the glimpse into the kindness and cruelty of the real world.
