Perks of Being a Wallflower - Stephen Chobsky

A coming of age kind of a story of a damaged young boy, Perks of Being a Wallflower is very engaging.

Charlie is a fifteen year old boy (who turns sixteen during the course of the novel) who has to go through the process of growing up which, he doesn't seem to enjoy or understand much. He has wonderful set of friends and a normal family, although he himself is a bit hysterical. We do get to know the reason behind why he is the way he is, in the end, but I felt it didn't flow as smoothly as the rest of the story did.
The style of writing is something probably of a sixteen year old American boy, although I wouldn't know for sure.
An easy read, and very well written.
