Standing on the fringes of life offers a unique perspective…but there comes a time to see what it looks like from the dance floor.Since its publication, Stephen Chbosky’s haunting debut novel has received critical acclaim, provoked discussion and debate, grown into a cult phenomenon with over two million copies in print, spent over six months at #1 on the New York Times bestseller list, and inspired a major motion picture.
The Perks of Being a Wallflower is a story about what it’s like to travel that strange course through the uncharted territory of high school. The world of first dates, family dramas, and new friends. Of sex, drugs, and The Rocky Horror Picture Show. Of those wild and poignant roller-coaster days known as growing up.

Stephen Chbosky grew up in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and graduated from the University of Southern California's Filmic Writing Program. His first film, The Four Corners of Nowhere, premiered at Sundance Film Festival and went on to win Best Narrative Feature honors at the Chicago Underground Film Festival. He helped edit and contributed material to John Leguizamo's Broadway show, sexaholix. He also edited Pieces, a collection of short stories for Pocket Books. Most recently, he wrote the screenplay for the critically acclaimed film adaptation of Rent. He also co-created and served as executive producer of the post-apocalyptic drama, Jericho, which found a place in television history when its cancellation prompted fans to send over 40,000 pounds of nuts to the network in protest. The Perks of Being a Wallflower is his first novel. As well as being an author, Steven Chbosky is a film director and screenwriter. He lives in Los Angeles.
And I wonder if anyone is really happy. I hope they are. I really hope they are.
It's just that sometimes people use thought to not participate in life.
Charlie, we accept the love we think we deserve.
I want Sam to stop liking Craig.
The pretty fall weather is pretty much gone.

My dad had glory days once. I've seen pictures of him when he was young. He was a very handsome man. I don't know any other way to put it. He looked like all old pictures look. Old pictures look very rugged and young, and the people in the photographs always seem a lot happier than you are.
My mother looks beautiful in old pictures. She actually looks more beautiful than anyone except maybe Sam. Sometimes, I look at my parents now and wonder what happened to mak... (查看原文)
第一本在kindle读完的英文书。作为高一少年，查理用书信的形式细腻地呈现着对旧生活的思考和对新生活的焦虑，没有故作深沉，而用浅近笔调描述或复杂或单纯的家庭、朋友、师生关系，以及毒品、暴力、同性等敏感话题。因为每封信为基本单元，因此情节较为琐碎，让人缺乏一口气读完的冲动；校园环境差异，亦没有足够代入感。但查理入学一年中所表达的心境，终究与自己有相近之处，与Sam那种暗恋却又极亲近的关系，也很真实，...第一本在kindle读完的英文书。作为高一少年，查理用书信的形式细腻地呈现着对旧生活的思考和对新生活的焦虑，没有故作深沉，而用浅近笔调描述或复杂或单纯的家庭、朋友、师生关系，以及毒品、暴力、同性等敏感话题。因为每封信为基本单元，因此情节较为琐碎，让人缺乏一口气读完的冲动；校园环境差异，亦没有足够代入感。但查理入学一年中所表达的心境，终究与自己有相近之处，与Sam那种暗恋却又极亲近的关系，也很真实，可我会认为友情更脆弱。虽然小说中时刻有股压抑的气氛，但作者仍赋予了故事不错的结局--“things are good with me, and even when they're not, they will be soon enough.”但不喜欢对于查理精神状态的处理，觉得这样无助于人物塑造。(展开)

When I was reading The Perks of Being a Wallflower, I suppose it had become one of my favourite books. And the minute I finished it, I totally fell for it. I think if I had read it in college, it would be the first and only choice for my dissertation. Cha...

好像在是公园的街角长凳上捡到一本日志，在这个城市不远的一个角落有个男孩，你会和他一起担忧、欣喜、烦恼或是勇敢。但是本书却是一种更为细腻的方式向你讲述了Charlie的世界和生活在他身边的每个人，他们自己的问题。书的艺术形式真的是很奇妙，每个人站在那里，你想的却是和你在一起的那些年的朋友，他们说过的话，打过的架，受过的伤，追过的女孩子。

我不知道being special对于charlie来说到底是好事还是坏事，但当最后的最后，他在隧道里第一次感受到自己的存在的时候，我为他感到高兴，我为他像其他normal孩子一样“参与”学校生活而感到由衷的高兴。
