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.
