Title: Confused and confusing
Product review: I chose this book because it's so popular, and supposedly written for high school age. The characters are one-dimensional, the issues never fully developed or resolved, except that the 'wallflower' is allowed to come along to their parties, and eventually is accepted as a friend, though there are very few reasons for why he merits this. His vocabulary is singularly juvenile, far below his alleged age, and his sexual view of every relationship makes him seem limited mentally. I don't know any high school students who would find this kind of person interesting or worth being friends with. Innocence and stupidity being two things that teenagers do not want to claim or seem to be. And the anonymous letters lead you to believe it will be revealed as part of the story and it never is. Who the heck does he know well enough to write to on these most personal of topics? A very strange and tiring book.
