I highly recommend The Perks of Being a Wallflower, and this is why.
Charlie is a highly recognizable character that many people can relate to. Whether they see Charlie in themselves or know another person whom is like Charlie, he is recognizable in today's society very often. The person who is often not seen when beside someone higher in society. He seems to immedietly warm up to the person whom he's writing to. He opens up to us how he views the world in his own (often odd) way. He talks about feelings that many people are afraid to admit to themselves, much less others. He talks about the crazy world of being a teenager-drugs, money, love, emotions, etc., etc. Many things we can all relate to in one way or another.
The format in which it's written is highly enjoyable. He seems to be writing letters to an anonymous person. He writes with many grammatic errors, which are less apparent as the book goes on for his "improvement" in English class. he often tells us about the book he's currently reading and the songs he currently enjoys. He gives fake names to everybody as to keep his identity secret so that he can not be found. Of all things, he does not want to be found. Everything is kept anonymous in one way or another.
I recommend this book because it gives you a new view on people and how they're feeling and doing when you're not around-or even if you are around. It makes you wonder if people or things are what they seem. I believe that everyone should read this book.
