, acclaim for stephen chbosky’sthe perks of being a wallflower
“Charlie’s loving instincts are very strong. Again and again throughout
the book he exhibits pure wisdom we all like to read about and witness.
And Stephen Chbosky doesn’t let us down. The language is plain and
springy and blunt… In this culture where adolescence is a dirty word, I
hope nothing bad ever happens to this [protagonist].”
—LA Times
“Charlie, his friends and family are palpably real… [he] develops from
an observant wallflower into his own man of action.… This report on his
life will engage teen readers for years to come.”
—School Library Journal, starred review
“Chbosky captures adolescent angst, confusion, and joy as Charlie
reveals his innermost thoughts while trying to discover who he is and whom
he is to become. Intellectually precocious, Charlie[’s]… reflections… are
compelling. He vacillates between full involvement in the crazy course of
his life and backing off completely. Charlie is a likeable kid whose humor-
laced trials and tribulations will please both adults and teens.”
—Booklist
“Chbosky adds an upbeat ending to a tale of teenaged angst—the right
combination of realism and uplift to allow it on high school reading lists.…
[The protagonist] oozes with sincerity, rails against celebrity phoniness, and
feels an extraliterary bond with his favorite writers (Harper Lee, Fitzgerald,
Kerouac, Ayn Rand, etc.)… A plain-written narrative suggesting passivity,
and thinking too much, lead to confusion and anxiety.”
—Kirkus
