- Why I like it? It is an easy read novel.
- It's a very weird epistolary novel about a boy who records significant events in his life as a high school freshman. He goes by the name Charlie and writes these letters to a person he doesn't know.
- I like how Charlie expresses his thoughts. they are rather intimate, sincere and illuminating.
- The story talks about topics such as introversion and how awkward it is to be a teenager. The book also includes brief topics about drugs, sex, homosexuality and suicide. It mirrored real life events and it opened my eyes, as a reader to different situations a person can possibly face.
- As the story goes on, various topics about literature and music were discussed. The beatles were one of them
- Adolescents nowadays are not naive as their parents think they are.
- It contains real-life problems some adolescents face.
- There was also this transition from being a nobody to somebody's friend, brother and son.
- It values friendship.
