The Perks of being a Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky


What is the message of this book?

I think the theme of this book is friendship, how friendships can be unusual sometimes and how important they are. As Charlie’s, the main character of the book, friend Michael killed himself last year, Charlie begins to feel down but he doesn't understand why it won’t go away. Once he meets Sam and Patrick, a unique friendship is made and even though they are much older than Charlie, they help him become happy again and he learns the power of friends.

Write a brief review of this book for a teenager’s magazine.

This book is a story about friendship and love, how great these things can be but also how they can go wrong. It is the story of Charlie Kelmeckis, a boy who has just began high school and is struggling to make friends. Everyone is so different to him until he meets Sam and Patrick, a girl and boy who he really gets along with. He goes to parties with them and gets to know their friends. I really enjoyed this book because it was relatable and the main character, Charlie, is very funny. Its also easy to read and although its sad at parts, it is an enjoyable story overall. I would gibe this book 8/10.
