The Perks of Being a Wallflower Book Review
Very well written review by a Scottish writer. It summarizes the story clearly and effectively, then it relates it a bit to Catcher in the Rye, and then it also discusses its plot holes and weaknesses. Finally it gives context on the author. Overall a great source to reference when talking about opinions on the book. |
