“An amazing, amazing, AMAZING book. The Perks of Being a Wallflower is the story of a 16 year old named "Charlie". He is writing letters to someone he doesn't know about his life because he has no one else to talk to anymore, after his Aunt Helen's death. It is the story of a 16 year old freshman in high school growing up, but there is way more to the story then just that. In this book you watch Charlie grow from being a nobody, to gaining friends that he will never forget in his entire life, and come from not knowing who he is, to finding out his true self. I recommend this book to ANYONE. It is such an amazing book and definitely one of my favorites.
My favorite scene in the book is when Charlie is in Sam's car with Sam and Patrick at the very end of the book. This sums up Charlie's whole freshman year and how much his friends and everything else he learned and was introduced to means to him. It really is a great way to end the book and end Charlie's year.
I also love the scene towards the middle of the book when Sam, Patrick, and Charlie are in Sam's car driving through the tunnel and feel "infinite". That moment was extremely special to Charlie and is something he will never forget in his entire life.
My third and last favorite scene was when Charlie sees Brad calling Patrick a "faggot" and Patrick start a fight with him and his friends. Charlie runs over and starts beating all the guys who were hitting Patrick. This really showed true friendship and how much of a true friend Patrick is to Charlie and Charlie is to Patrick.”
