The Perks of Being a Wallflower

The story of a boy who is wrong in all the right ways. Who is weird in the wonderful ways.

This book was different from all of the other books I have read. Some parts of it were so real that disturbed me and the fact that real stories disturbs me, also disturbs me. I guess I have to stick to my fantasy books and stay away from these kind of books. After all I read books to get away from the real world.

About the movie
I watched the movie 2 years ago and I loved it. After reading this I watched the movie again and I didn't like it. You must realize that the movie is directed, produced and written by Stephen Chbosky. So it is as faithful as it gets. But even in this case you have to make lots of compromises to make a movie of a book and these compromise often lead to resentment of the book's fan. My biggest problem with the movie is lack of using the “Landslide” song despite multiple mentions of it in the book. After all it is one of my favorite songs ever. The best thing about the movie is Ezra Miller's performance.
