About this product

Product Information

Charlie is a freshman. And while he's not the biggest geek in the school, he is by no means popular. Shy, introspective, intelligent beyond his years yet socially awkward, he is a wallflower, caught between trying to live his life and trying to run from it. Charlie is attempting to navigate his way 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 perfect song on that perfect drive to feel infinite. But Charlie can't stay on the sideline forever. 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. The Perks of Being a Wallflower is a deeply affecting coming-of-age story that will spirit you back to those wild and poignant roller-coaster days known as growing up.

  • Compelling Read

    I read this after watching the film of the same name. I love the film, which is touching, thought provoking and sensitively done. The book, although great, is definitely aimed at the teen market, whereas the film is more accessible to viewers of any age in my view. I'd recommend the book, especially to young adults. It's an easy read on grounds of readability though can get heavy sometimes with the issues that it brings out. Warning: contains discussions of mental health issues with teens, violence in relationships, violence against gays, suicide and abortion, though these events are not all linked.

  • The Perks of Being a Wallflower

    The content of this book was so fascinating and the way it was written was beautiful and the book made me cry, laugh and pity Charlie all at the same time. I identify as a wallflower as well and I love how diverse and how the message of the book is very powerful. The delivery and condition of the book was also very good.

  • Heart wrenching

    This book always makes you want to continue reading it’s emotional and makes your heart give out to the people and story’s in the book . warning that you should read it on a clear mind and be open about the contents and story’s that happen in the book. I would suggest watching the movie as it’s mind blowing to see the story in action .
