Publisher Description

Read the cult-favorite coming of age story that takes a sometimes heartbreaking, often hysterical, and always honest look at high school in all its glory. Also a major motion picture starring Logan Lerman and Emma Watson, The Perks of Being a Wallflower is a funny, touching, and haunting modern classic.

The critically acclaimed debut novel from Stephen Chbosky, Perks follows observant “wallflower” Charlie as he charts a course through the strange world between adolescence and adulthood. First dates, family drama, and new friends. Sex, drugs, and The Rocky Horror Picture Show. Devastating loss, young love, and life on the fringes. Caught between trying to live his life and trying to run from it, Charlie must learn to navigate those wild and poignant roller-coaster days known as growing up.

A #1 New York Times best seller for more than a year, an American Library Association Best Book for Young Adults (2000) and Best Book for Reluctant Readers (2000), and with millions of copies in print, this novel for teen readers (or “wallflowers” of more-advanced age) will make you laugh, cry, and perhaps feel nostalgic for those moments when you, too, tiptoed onto the dance floor of life.

"A story of friendship, death, vices, party, school, friends, family and more. This is a narrative story by Charlie. He is somewhat different but still find true friends. He is kind hearted and can cope up to anything. He always cry, but it's just his nature. "

    " I loved this book. It's a good coming-of-age story about high school. And Charlie might be a "wallflower," but he's still the best character of the novel, alongside Patrick and Sam. It's a great book. "

    " I can see how it's a coming of age story and all, but I can't relate to the mind of a teenage boy. Overall, it was just ok for me. "

    " This book would have to be my favorite. I could relate much to the main character, so that's probably why. The events and happenings in this novel leave you wondering what is to happen next. It's definately a book I never wanted to put down! "

    " One of my favorite books in the world. Simple, yet intense. Very unique, with its narrative and particularly intriguing characters. It's not terribly unpredictable, but it doesn't have to be. It's like poetry, speaking directly to your teenage soul. "

    " I decided to read this book because so many people recommended it, but I was a little bit disappointed. The story was okay but nothing special. "

    " Overrated, simplistic, pop culture garbage. For those who pretend to be angsty and have never grown up. "
