 Perks is one of the first books I read (and immediately after reading added to my favourites) after getting back into reading young adult literature. It is also one of the first English books I read, and it was a great one to start with as someone who wasn't good at English at all. The writing style is very simple, in form of letters to someone mysterious--maybe even you! 
 Charlie is a very emotional, socially awkward character and I think a lot of people will be able to relate to him. Though sometimes he is a little bit too dramatic and innocent. Throughout the book, Charlie experiences a lot of new things, learns to cope with the loss of his favourite aunt and one of his friends, and meanwhile, still tries to have some kind of a social life. 
 I wish I could explain to you how much I loved this book, but words escape me. It's everything I wanted it to be. It's inspiring, thought-provoking, interesting, amazing, beautiful... *Sigh* I can totally see The Perks of Being a Wallflower becoming a modern classic.
