The Perks of Being a Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky is a beautiful book. As I have only started it recently I can not write a true review about it so here are my first impressions. I believe that this book is very emotional and very worrying, not that the book is bad but that it shows truths that we take to lightly. It talks about many social issues in schools and teaches many lessons.
In the book there is one character who the narrator calls Patrick. Patrick is a very kind, accepting person to the narrator, Charlie, but Charlie finds at a party that Patrick is gay and has been having a relationship with the school quarterback, Brad, and as Patrick tells the story of their love and explains it to Charlie you start to understand that gay people can be just like everyone and that people are unjustly bias against them because, they're different. It also goes under the topic of depression when Charlie tells the reader about his friend who offed himself due to depression.
As I have only just started this book I find that it is amazing and yet to some readers it will be controversial as it talks about many social issues such as being gay in a community that doesn't like gay people, rape , and depression. THis book has changed the views of many readers and it doesn't cease to amaze. Read more next time on The Perks of Being a Wallflower.
