Go Ask Alice

Lately i have been reading "Go Ask Alice" and i have been enjoying it a lot. In just the 40 pages that Ive read, its already been almost a year and i can already see her see her starting to change. In the beginning of the book, she was a sweet girl with 3 best friends that had all the problems a teenager usually has, boys, being popular, being able to look nice, and keeping their grades up. But now after having her first experience with LSD i can tell it will not be her last. Just 4 months she said she said "Oh happiness and joy and elation, mother has promised me that I can spend the summer at Gran's!" but now shes saying shes "already bored out of her skull" By the end of the summer, I can imagine her being a completely different person. She even said that she was "glad I was one of the luckly ones", talking about how some of the drinks had LSD and some didn't. I'm excited to see what else happens to her and how different she may become.

The Perks of Being a Wallflower

So far in the book, Perks of Being a Wallflower, we have learned a lot about Charlie, the protagonist. In the beginning, it seems like he was just a lonely kid that was mostly ignored by his family and people at school. But now, being almost finished with the book, I've discovered that hes a lot more interesting then that. We've seen that him and his family have troubles of their own. For example, we've learned things about both of his parents families. Like how his moms dad has never really been very kind to his kids, and isn't very emotional. Or how his Aunt Helen got sick and died in a car crash, while getting Charlies birthday present. And how he feels it was all his fault that she died and that he had a special relationship with his aunt. But Charlie isnt the only one with problems. We've also learned about Sam and her boyfriend Craig, who we all know is too selfish for Sam. All in all, "The Perks of Being a Wallflower" has been a great book, and I cant wait to see how it ends.

The Perks of Being a Wallflower

I am half way through "Perks of Being a Wallflower" and I'm enjoying it a lot. One of my favorite things about it was how it is written in letters. I'm sure the author must've had some trouble doing this, since the letters all have to be in past tense, and all of it is pretty much just re-telling what happened. Another thing i like about the book is how mysterious is it. "I will call people by different names or generic names because I dont want you to find me" says Charlie in the book. I'm about half way through the book and I still have no idea who Charlie is actually writing to. Its almost as if Charlie is writing more of a diary than letters. But hte style of writing int the only good thing about the book. The topic is simple, but still very interesting. It's a sweet story where a little nerd starts to make friends and actually start to be liked and not become such a "wallflower".  Though I still have a lot left in the book, I can tell I'm going to enjoy it a lot.
