Charlie’s thoughts are also very scattered while he is writing giving it a personal feel while also giving us an insight into Charlie’s character. The whole novel is letter written by Charlie to an unnamed recipient.

The writing style of this novel also really help to add to the realistic elements of this novel. The climax of the novel comes very late making the ending seem slightly rushed, but it was still a novel that I did not want to end. Most of the conflicts that Charlie faces deal directly with these problems. There are multiple references to drugs, alcohol, abuse, and sex throughout the novel. Many of the themes that are prevalent in this book do make it more of a young adult novel and I would not suggest it for anyone under 15. I highly recommend this book to those who are looking for a good read about relevant high school topics. From new friends, drugs, suicide, and abuse this story is a revealing look into a teenage boys struggle to just fit in during his first year of high school. “Perks of Being a Wallflower” by Stephen Chbosky is the emotional story of Charlie's first year of high school.

Going into high school can be a scary experience for anyone, especially for a social outcast like Charlie.
