Update on the October book challenge!

So last week I decided to do a book challenge and this is the first of a few updates on it.
Last week I read 'the perk of being a wallflower' by Simon Chbosky. It's not the longest of books but it is incredibly written.
I just couldn't put it down and read it within a couple of nights of reading it.
The story is a page turner as the story was a light but gripping story of a young lad Charlie who in the beginning is a shy and unpopular kid that you see grow by a series of letters to an anonymous reader. Throughout the story you get introduced to Charlie's friends and teacher. The story talks about Charlie being introvert and an unconventional thinker, who goes through therapy to help him with deal with these issues.
All in all I loved the book from cover to cover and I can't wait until I go see it at the cinema.
BLURB
" Charlie is a freshman. And while he's not the biggest geek in the school, he is by no means popular. Shy, introspective, intelligent beyond his years yet socially awkward he is a wallflwower, caught between trying to live his life and trying to run from it. Charlie is attempting to navigate his way through uncharted territory. The world of first dates and mixed tapes, family dramas and new friends; the world of sex drugs and the rocky horror picture show, when all one requires is that perfect song on that perfect drive to feel infinite. But Charlie cant stay in the sideline forever, standing on the fringes of life offers a unique perspective. But there comes a time to see what it looks like from the dance floor."
