Explanation Conducive To Books The Perks of Being a Wallflower
standing on the fringes of life...offers a unique perspective. But there comes a time to see
what it looks like from the dance floor.
This haunting novel about the dilemma of passivity vs. passion marks the stunning debut of a provocative new voice in contemporary fiction: The Perks of Being A WALLFLOWER
This is the story of what it's like to grow up in high school. More intimate than a diary, Charlie's letters are singular and unique, hilarious and devastating. We may not know where he lives. We may not know to whom he is writing. All we know is the world he shares. Caught between trying to live his life and trying to run from it puts him on a strange course through uncharted territory. The world of first dates and mixed tapes, family dramas and new friends. The world of sex, drugs, and The Rocky Horror Picture Show, when all one requires is that the perfect song on that perfect drive to feel infinite.
Through Charlie, Stephen Chbosky has created a deeply affecting coming-of-age story, a powerful novel that will spirit you back to those wild and poignant roller coaster days known as growing up.

THIS BOOK ALWAYS BRINGS ME SO MANY FEELS. 3rd time re-reading it and I still feel infinite.Dear Charlie, I am writing to you because I have received several of your lovely letters. I didn't realise that my postbox was full until I opened it just yesterday. I apologise as I was busy and knackered these past few weeks. By the way, I have sorted all those letters of yours by month, date, and year as my quite obsessive-compulsive self dictates all the time, not that it's a flaw or anything, but if it's considered a flaw, I'm glad that I do have it, because you see, being normal is bloody

The Perks of Being a Wallflower, Stephen ChboskyThrough Charlie, Stephen Chbosky has created a deeply affecting coming-of-age story, powerful novel that will spirit you back to those wild and poignant roller coaster days known as growing up.August 25, 1991 Dear friend, I am writing to you because she said you listen and understand and didnt try to sleep with thatperson at that party even though you could have. Please dont try to figure out who she is becausethen you might figure out who I am,
Ok.So, why does no one really mention that Charlie seems to be a high functioning autistic? I mean, there's a difference between shy or wallflower, and autistic. The way he doesn't understand social norms, his thought process, his actions (and inactions in certain situations), even the awkward ways he expresses his feelings. They all point to someone who sees the world differently than the rest of us.Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe I'm totally misreading what Chbosky was trying to portray. Or maybe
Drugs, abuse, child molestation, anything that would make people cry & be traumatizing for a teenager, it's all here in overdose, injected wherever possible into every character's life. How can the author be such a douche.I felt emotionally manipulated by this inconsistently written, I'm-trying-to-be-deep-and-real-and-strike-emotional-chords crying fest.So I Hulk-smashed it into the recycling bin.God.
re-read in 2019 This book definitely still holds up. It had me laughing, nearly crying, and gasping every few pages, and I was constantly sharing passages with my buddy Ariel, who was also reading the book at the same time (right next to me.) I think this is the sort of book I would like to re-read every year, because it just means so much to me. Also, if you still havent read this book, please do. Its one of the good ones, folks.originally read (twice) in 2012This is just another great example
