![]() ![]() ![]() This is truly tough for anyone, especially for a person who does not interact well with people and would choose to stay in the background observing rather than “participate” as what his English teacher Bill keeps encouraging him to do. ![]() His favorite aunt died on his birthday (These are really not spoilers, believe me) and his best friend commits suicide, leaving him with no one to hang out with on his freshman year. Perks is the story of “Charlie” - no surname, a teenager who has endured many tragedies in his life for his young age. However, I had to take a while to digest this 224-page novel in parts because it truly spoke to me and connected to me as a person, even if it was presented in the perspective of a 15-year-old freshman which I am now way beyond. I know it sounds lame because really, this book is so engrossing that otherwise I would have finished it in a couple of hours time. I finally finished this amazing coming of age novel after my third sitting last night. ![]()
