Mtv Books | February 1, 1999 | Trade Paperback

Based on 614 ratings | Rate this

Standing on the fringes of life offers a unique perspective…but there comes a time to see what it looks like from the dance floor.

Since its publication, Stephen Chbosky's haunting debut novel has received critical acclaim, provoked discussion and debate, grown into a cult phenomenon with over two million copies in print, spent over six months at #1 on the New York Times bestseller list, and inspired a major motion picture.

The Perks of Being a Wallflower is a story about what it's like to travel that strange course through the uncharted territory of high school. The world of first dates, family dramas, and new friends. Of sex, drugs, and The Rocky Horror Picture Show. Of those wild and poignant roller-coaster days known as growing up.

Great!

This book is a classic. I recommend it to every teenager. It was the first book that really got me interesting in reading for fun. It's highly recommended by everyone who reads it, and I completely agree that it's a must read. The storyline is easy to follow, and it brings up a lot of subjects that are popular to go through at the age group that it's aimed for. Even though it was written over a decade ago, it's easy to see that problems that teenagers have don't often change through generations.
