'The Perks of Being A Wallflower'

BR: 5/5
The Perks of Being A Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky

                              
This right here! became one of my favorite books, ever. Favorite read, ever. There are moments in life where things happen to you, and you just can't seem to find the ways or words to explain while wanting to share them with whomever. I found things in the story i could relate to, things i wished were easy to mention but the way ones mind works - it's hard to even believe it they're true. I loved this book, and enjoyed the film as some of my favorites were cast to bring these different characters, individuals to life - to share with the world how words can be shown in so many ways. If you haven't read this book, if it's been sitting on the shelf either because it's new or old - take it out, recommend it to someone, and have a chat about it. Everyone will have different takes, and reviews on this. It's what makes books great to review or recommend to others as we all have different views on everything we read, see & etc., (i always get out of topic or so it feels so) - we all want/need friends or just someone who would be there for us no matter what - that will listen and tell us it's going to be alright, because they're there or that you're there for yourself as you would be for the next person going through similarities. Friends like Charlie, are friends to keep, and love for who they are. Friends that accepted him, and where there for him - it was great to see this story transition to film. Let you visually see what i am. Check this book out at goodreads.


Book description: 'Charlie is a freshman.

And while he's not the biggest geek in the school, he is by no means popular. Shy, introspective, intelligent beyond his years yet socially awkward, he is a wallflower, caught between trying to live his life and trying to run from it.

Charlie is attempting to navigate his way through uncharted territory: the world of first dates and mix tapes, family dramas and new friends; the world of sex, drugs, and The Rocky Horror Picture Show, when all one requires is that perfect song on that perfect drive to feel infinite. But he can't stay on the sideline forever. Standing on the fringes of life offers a unique perspective. But there comes a time to see what it looks like from the dance floor.

The Perks of Being a Wallflower is a deeply affecting coming-of-age story that will spirit you back to those wild and poignant roller-coaster days known as growing up.'

For me, books have no limits to age, like some would say, and it shouldn't. Reading should be fun to do - there is always something new to try, and learn from. Fiction is just as real, just as true to events in life as something non-fiction would be. Fiction helps in more ways as a true detailed piece would be - stories are stories, true or false, for fun or whatever it may be. Read what you want - pick up whatever you want and get down to it. #limitnobook
