I promise it'll be the best book you ever read. It was nice meeting you.

Darci handed me this book saying that one of the guests left it for me when they checked out. The Perks of Being a Wallflower By Stephen Chbosky. With eight hours of essentially nothing to do and jack shit going on, I decided to crack open the cover ( Read more... )

Dude, what guy writes a book with that kind of title? 3:1 says his publisher is his life partner.

I sort of liked the book. It was actually all screwy psychological stuff at the end that turned me off. I don't see why he needed some big, dramatic event to cause him to be an antisocial square. It made the character less relateable. Some people are just awkward because that's who they are. Why can't that be okay?
I'll also say it is a bit cliche. Wasn't there a gay football player? Do you have any idea how many gay football players are in COA stories? It's every single one, I swear it!
