16% into The Perks of Being a WallFlower
Charlie is the main character and narrator of this book. His unique letters to someone unknown is hilarious and devastating. His diction and writing style fits perfectly for his stages in high school. We get to see him grow, experience, and break down in his writing. He doesn't give much information as to where he lives and to whom he is writing to, but he does share with us his world, and that has been enough and more. His letters are humorous, saddening, and sometimes frightening recounts of high school experiences from observing the arenas of sex and drugs to first dates and mixed tapes. I've found this novel that all of us can relate to in some way. I look forward to Charlie's roller coaster journey.
