    I read this book, like I read a lot of young adult fiction, in hopes to find a great book for my middle school students. Although this was a great book and I devoured it in one day, I won't recommend it to middle school students. It definitely has a high school level maturity to it. Great story line and interesting narrator too. Loved it!

    This is the second time I read The Perks of Being A Wallflower, and I enjoyed it far more than my first read through. I read the book in one night because I could not put it down. I felt connected to Charlie as I began to see myself as a wallflower, always listening and putting everyone else ahead of myself. Unlike Charlie, however, I confide in my writing and my art instead of teachers and best friends. Everyone is waiting for that infinite moment, the one filled with magic, but I don't want to wait for it. I would rather go out and live for it.

    It's very reminiscent of 'Catcher in the Rye' and I am sick of picking up books like this. The letter or diary format for me doesnt appeal much. There are a few good lines within the story but it didnt deliver to what I wanted from the blurb. 'Charlie' was incredibly naive about some topics which was frustrating. If he truly was a 'wallflower' and observed so much, he would show a lot more understanding of social systems and not just lack the ability of interaction.

    Swallow a bucket of cement Charlie and give things a try.

    I've seen this book around and thought, hey why not? It was ok, very quick read, and depressing. :(

    My favorite book as of now. I was able to make a lot of connections and this was the first book to ever make me laugh out loud.

    Good coming of age novel--Freshman in high school who doesn't quite fit in with his peers. For the mature reader

    Brilliant coming of age story in the style of The Catcher in the Rye. The protagonist - Charlie - stands, observing, on the fringes of a "normal" society. He is barely sixteen, naive and innocent in many ways, and writes with in a beautiful and poignant style. He offers profound insight into simple truths about the human race. A must read.

    I recommended it to my teen-age daughter, not that I think she is a wallflower, but it's a really good book about what teenagers go through. My daughter liked it, her friends wanted to borrow it... Enough said already!
