If you're into awards and MTV, your starry eyes may have recently beheld the trailer of the movie “The Perks of Being a Wallflower.” Sounds weird, right? Well, try totally-wickedly-awesome!

The Perks of Being a Wallflower is an epistolary-style first novel by Stephen Chbosky (isn't it fun to say that?). It lets the reader follow Charlie, an introvert who is trying to find his place in this puzzle of a world while feeling like that one piece that just doesn't belong until the right puzzlers come along and pop him into place.

Said puzzlers are Sam and Patrick, two seniors who sweep Charlie under their wings to take him to “The Rocky Horror Picture Show,” football games, and on that drive with that perfect song to feel infinite.
You may think you're picking up just another book, but you are actually forming a connection with a boy who is just like the rest of us, seeing life through every pair of eyes possible

If you're into thinking beautiful thoughts, off-guard captivation, paper-cut causing page-turners, and teen angst (because who doesn't like to hear our side of the story?), this book is for you. And like they always say: the book has more than the movie. So please, before you go and buy overpriced tickets, watery drinks, and greasy popcorn, before you have to hear that one sick guy coughing up a lung in the back of the theater, please read the book first!

It won't short you in the feeling that is “infinite.”
