I picked this book up because I really loved the cover then I read the back and it sounded pretty good. And I just figured out by researching the picture above that this is soon to be a movie in 2012, it has that guy from that Percy Jackson movie and Emma Watson so maybe if I like the book I'll have to go see the movie. So The Perks of Being a Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky takes you through the life of Charlie through letters sent to his "friend." The reader and Charlie do not know who this friend is and he states that he doesn't want this friend who hes sending these letters to, to know who he is or where he lives so he's very vague on all those parts. Charlie is in 8th grade when the book starts and his friend Micheal had just commit suicide hes dealing with those emotions when soon he's starting high school. Since losing his friend Micheal kind of made him lose all his other friends along with him. So he's unpopular and he hates high school. He has two older sibling a sister and a brother. His brother is a football player at Penn State and his sister is still in high school. He talks of sister and her many boyfriends and how she treats them (not well and weirdly to be specific). There is one teacher Charlie acknowledged in these letters and that is his English teacher who ask Charlie to call him by the name of "Bill."
