Everyone has to read this book, if you ever felt like an outsider. I ABSOLUTELY LOVED THIS BOOK!!!!!!! I know that I only gave it 4 out 5 stars, the reason for that is that I wanted more!!!!!!!!!! 
 The one thing that drew me to this story, was that I can easily relate to Charlie, being shy, and not fitting in. When he meets Sam and Patrick, you just know that they are the 3 musketeers, I LOVE LOVE LOVE all 3 of them!!!! From the very beginning I wanted Charlie with Sam, and kept hoping that through out the book they would get together(I am not going to say if they did or not). This happens to be a very easy read, but it draws you in automatically, because you want to know what happens next, you form questions, most likely you will get the answers. 
 It only took me a couple of hours to read this, but right afterwards, I watched the movie. I can say that I was happy with how they did the movie, even though they left out and changed a few things, it was still PERFECT! Those changes actually worked! GO READ THIS BOOK NOW!
