[Perks of Being A Wallflower] Going Back to the Begining

For this final week's post, I aimed to type a book review to end this trimester with a complete summary of the book. But unfortunately, I haven't got to the ending of my book yet! So I thought I would just give an overview to why I chose this book in the first place.

My preferred genre of books generally coincides with mystery, and related topics. But after seeing the trailer for the movie version of Perks of Being a Wallflower, I instantly made it a priority to watch the movie. Of course, I only got around to it a few months later. But after seeing that movie, I can honestly say my perception of the things around me has changed. It really touched me in a way that other movies haven't. So the next step to my obsession was to read the book.

This was probably the best decision I have made considering I am not the person to be completely obsessed with books, but this changed that. I would stay up late finishing reading Charlie's entries, rereading, googling meanings, looking back at certain scenes from the movie that corresponded with the chapter, to better understand this 'coming-of-age' novel.

I already have a general idea of what will happen considering I have seen the movie, but the film versions of books are always modified. This sometimes is detrimental to the value of the original writing. In this case, that would be true because of the amount of details cut out of the movie. The book is MUCH more moving than the movie and I recommend this to anyone and everyone. PLEASE READ THIS BOOK. It will make some of us open our eyes for the best. This is highly recommended for anyone and everyone to read.

Here's the trailer if you want to watch!!!
