The Perks of Being a Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
picked up this book because of the media mentions of it as a movie. i guess i would probably enjoy watching the movie more than reading it. it was a bit of a drag for me to continue reading the book. maybe because in my mind i was trying to compare it with catcher in the rye. that classic still tops among my list.
the only part of the book which i enjoyed was highlighting the books the protagonist received or recommended by his teacher character. there are books i have read and there are titles which i am compelled to find out and read. i cant wait for that reading adventure. that i got to thank the perks of being a wallflower for its booklist.
most of the time, i want to feel him as a wallflower, as the anti protagonist, as the person in the back of the classroom, as the blacksheep but i couldnt because the character is so smart and i feel like he is more in the ‘in’ group than i expected.

and yes, i did watched the movie and i did loved the movie more than reading it. however, after watching the movie, it made me want to read the book again, just to revisit the parts of the book which i might have missed ‘the point’ reading it the first time.
