Episode: 03 – [Review] The Perks of Being a Wall Flower
from Paperback Friends · host Sam Ögren
It's been a while since I read it, so it was hard to do the story full justice. The Perks of Being a Wall Flower is a coming of age story that manages to encompass the blazing force that is "youth" while also portraying how difficult, tragic and empowering this time of our lives was, is or will be. Chbosky does not shy away from difficult subjects, and from my perspective he does depict them with dignity and respect. I found myself liking the movie more than the novel, but that's much more preference than anything else. Type: Review | Book: The Perks of Being a Wall Flower | Writer: Stephen Chbosky
