The Perks of Being a Wallflower

This book ended up being very personal to me. I considered not posting about it here because of that, but it seemed that would be against the moral of the book. So here it goes:

After running the reader through practically every taboo situation associated with high school life (this book is found in the young adult section of the library) in the first part, it settles down into a deeper look into the the life of Charlie. It is like Catcher in the Rye in that it is very touching and very personal, though I am not sure every person in the world can relate to Charlie like they can probably relate to the Catcher (I forget his name,) but that doesn't change what it meant to me. I tried to start reading the next book I have, but couldn't manage it. I walked up and down the hallway for 3 hours thinking. Then I took the bus to the mall, apparently it closes at nine and I was there at 10, so I walked around the mall instead of through it.

I don't really know. I half am glad my life wasn't like Charlie's, I half think my life was like Charlie's, and I half wish my life was like Charlie's. I know that adds up to more than one, but I figure I am just that cool.

Love always,
