Title: Very Disappointing
Product review: I heard amazing things about this book but I must say I found it completely disappointing. I was looking forward to reading it and I will admit it had the potential of greatness or at least being semi-good but it does not live up to that potential.The main character Charlie is not all that interesting. He is actually quite boring. What saves "perks" from being completely unbearable to read are Charlie's friends Sam and Patrick. Honestly the book would have been better if it was narrated by one of them instead; their stories seem far more interesting than Charlie's.The biggest problem with this book is it tries too hard. Every difficult subject is mentioned (i.e. suicide, rape, abortion) but not explored by the narrator in any real way. Everything is glanced over and unrealistic.I've read worse books than this one but I still would not recommend it to anybody.
