I know that this book takes place in the 1990's, but it seems like it's in the 1960's. I mean LSD and everyone smoking all the time and stuff like that. I know that that probably happened in the 1990's to, but its just the atmosphere and how everyone speaks and acts. Sometimes when I'm reading this book, I forget the time period and believe its sometime else.
Someone I know told me that this was her absolute favorite book of all time and she has read it like four times. I guess this isn't my type of book because, although it is good, I have definetly read better books. I do like to read it but i can't relate to it like I can to some books. I can't relate to Charlie and his high school problems.
The book is called "The Perks of Being a Wallflower, " but truthfully, I don't think Charlie is that much of a wallflower. He has friends and he's honest and has a girlfriend. I usually associate a wallflower with someone who doesn't get involved and doesn't have that many friends and avoids situations. I don't know maybe that's a steriotype, but that's always what I assumed a wallflower was.
