March 16, 2013: Book #3 'The Perks of Being a Wallflower': Just finished! First thing that I got to say about it is that I loved how it didn't have a 'happy ending' like in all the generic movies and books that are in our generation today. You know what I mean? It was very refreshing to finish a book with the feeling of not really knowing if Charlie, the main person, was going to be okay in a few days when he starts feeling sad or lonely again. You really hope he does, but at the same time you can't say that he will with absolute certainty.
I have never related to a book more in my whole life. And if you have read it then no, I don't mean that all the stuff that has happen to Charlie I relate to,but just the feeling in general of livingon the fringes of life and always feeling like your trying to see what makes everyone the way they are and hoping that maybe it will help you figuer out why you are the way you are.
So as I sit here with my finished book in front of me I don't really feel sad that it's over. I feel like I have been given some kind of insight into something that I just can't exsplain to you becuase I just have no words for it. I'm sitting here listening to the playlist that Charlie made for Patrick'schristmas gift and I just understand what it was that Chbosky wanted to get across in this book.
So if you haven't read it.GO.READ.THIS.BOOK.
I have nothing more for you. However I will leave you with these words from Charlie's last letter, "So, I guess we arewho we are for a lot of reasons. And maybe we'll never know most of them. But even if we don't have the power to choose where we come from, we can still choose where we go from there. We can still do things. And we can try to feel okay about them."
Love always,
Michaela Jane
P.S. Book #4 will be 'Revenge of the Nerd' by John Mcnamara.
