 Book Review of The Perks of Being a Wallflower Stephen Chbosky
Stephen Chbosky’s journal entry replica of a book creates a character that everyone has seen before, but never really taken the time to know.
It’s as if Chbosky has zoomed in on our glimpses of those illusive-shy people-watchers known as wallflowers, then completely turned their feelings inside out and put them on paper.
Charlie has all the same questions about growing up that Caufield was embittered by and all the observational tendencies of Carraway, but is younger and a little more familiar to Generation X. There is something about Charlie that makes him seem so damn innocent.
