Book of the Week: The Perks of Being a Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky


A few of you knew this was coming. You think I’m obsessed with this book and the movie. It’s in my favorites. I’m not obsessed, unless I’m obsessed with Harry Potter, The Fountainhead and The Body of Christopher Creed.

The Perks of Being a Wallflower falls cleanly into the category of teenager meltdown, yet it does not read like a copycat. I’ve not read many books formatted as letters that I liked, but the letter format of this book mostly disappears as the story takes the lead.

Okay, for all my loving The Perks of Being a Wallflower, I don’t have much to say about it that doesn’t give away the greatness that lies within, so this Book of the Week is short, but you can call it sweet.

Oh, now go read this book!
