Great Book

Dear Friend,

I recently just finished reading a book called The Perks of Being a Wallflower, by Stephen Chbosky. The book was different then any other book I have read and is perhaps one of the best because of that same reason. It deals with life,school,people,family,drugs and many other everyday life situations.
Some of my favorite scenes occur in the beginning off the book. My absolute favorite part is the reference to feeling "infinite" when they are going through the tunnel. The image of being free of worries,smiling and enjoying life is something that has to be a great feeling. When Charlie says he feels infinite it just shows how rare those moments are and also how rare they really are. One of my other favorite parts is when he starts to have his first crush. I just liked it because everyone goes through it and it is almost like the same experience that Charlie had. Crushes for the first time are always memories that last with everyone and it's nice to see things that we, the reader can relate to when reading this book.
One of the most important and obvious points in the book is when Charlie's sister has an abortion. It is a touchy subject and when it is mentioned it's one of the most important in the book. Charlie always has issues with his sister throughout the book, but when family is in need of help he is there. He realizes the struggle his sister faces going through an abortion and stands by her side with her. This is significant, because all of us have had moments where we are in dire need of help and family is always there by our sides.
I enjoyed this book a lot, because it felt like a true story and was a struggle for the whole novel. Charlie goes through a lot and although the book didn't end the way i thought it was going to it just made the book even more interesting. It gave me a lot of things that I could relate to.
