Title: Not as good as the movie
Product review: I had never heard of this book until the movie came out, but I had some questions after watching it and decided to read it. Normally, I find the books are better than the movies, with very few exceptions. Had I not known that Charlie was 15 and going to high school, I would have thought the main character was 10, since he writes in short, simple sentences. It reminded me a bit of reading Steinbeck. There seemed to be big difference in characters, even though Chbosky wrote both the book and the movie; however, I felt that taking it as an entity all on its own, the Perks of Being a Wallflower was a sweet book that made me happy and sad and also glad I read it. I wish there were more to the epilogue, but don't we always...
