Mentions sex, drugs, and all around good fun.

Synopsis:

This book is about a boy name charlie who in the begining of the book has a very unintresting life. So in order to find his "great perhaps" he enrolls himself into a boarding school. Away from his parents, home, and nonexistant friends. There he meets a few friends that change his life completely.

Characters & Plot Line:

I gotta say I loved each and every main character. But my favorite guy charecter was Colonel while my favortie girl character was of course Alaska Young. All of the charecters in this book were spunky in ther own way. you really had a clear image of who everyone was. The main protagonist Pudge wasn't my favorite character because Colonel was just such a funny guy. The plot line was even more AMAZING. In the begining I had so many laugh out loud moments, but by the end it made me teary eyed. There were so many funny moment and so many heart touching moments I could help but squeeeel.

Opinion:
I LOVE THIS BOOK. it is an awesome awesome book. not only is it an extremely fun and wonderful read but every word in this book is so meaningful. I usually never ever use a highlighter on my books but I didn't want to forget a qoute so I just got out the highlighter and di my thing. Overall  if you couldnt tell I really recommend this book. After reading this I'll be trying and getting my hands on more of his books.

I hope you enjoyed this review. Thanks for reading!

The Days are Too Short

its ridiculous how short the days seem. having summer school and a crap ton of things to do doesnt make it any better either. im sorry about the lack of reviews but i just have no time to sit down and read. i will probably get to reading lord of the flies and then go on to read the book thief or looking for alaska. anyways, ill write back soon

Classics

So, what do you guys think about classics? I mean I wish I was one of those people that know how to appreciate a classic, but I don't have the patience to really wait for the meaning of the book to hit me. I've always been an instant gratification girl. Which is something I wish I could change. Over the summer I think I'm going to try and get more into classics. So first I'm reading lord of the flies. then, to kill a mockingbird. Honestly, classics make me sleep. Hopefully things will change. Byebye.

IMM Numerroo Uno

Hey guys! I did some more book shopping. :]

Here they are:

• The Perks of Being a Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky

I just did a review on this (Look Below) and I thought it was interesting. this book is basically about a kid named charlie and him growing up.

• Looking for Alaska by John Green

I'm excited to read this after all the rave for it I've heard. The book is about a boy who is very disatisfied with his life. So, he enrolls himself into a boarding school. There he meets Alaska Young and a whole bunch of other people who change his life. The way the book is written is  intresting because it is set to the "Before" and "After" meeting Alaska.

• Delirium by Lauren Oliver

Again, another hyped up book. Hope it's worth all of it(fingers crossed). Anyways this is a dystopian novel about a society in which love is a disease called delirium. When the people of this society come to a certain age they get a procedure done to be unable to love. And the story goes on...

• The Book Thief by Markus Zusak

This book is about a girl living in 1939, Nazi Germany. This girl begins to read which leads to her stealing books because of the nazi book burnings. I hear that this book is a total tear jerker so im trying to get myself prepared. :]

• The Clockwork Angel by Cassandra Clare

I am EXTREMELY excited to read this. It's the prequal to the mortal instruments. Cassandra Clare is an awesome author and I am  going to read this as soon as possible. Anyways, this book is about a girl named tessa who goes to england to find her brother. Along the way she gets sucked in to the world of shadowhunters and all. This is set in the victorian era.


As you can see i got some pretty exciting books! im super duper excited to read all of them.

P.S  Are you guys ready for Harry Potter Part 2?? Cause I know I am!

The Perks of Being a Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky

General Info:

213 Pages
8.40$ at Amazon
Mentions Sex, Drugs, Molestation, Rape, and Being Gay

Synopsis:
This book is based on a boy named charlie writing to someone who charlie feels is some who will listen and try and understand him. From there charlie starts writing him letters based on his life. This books is mostly about charlies first times. First time falling in love, First time doing drugs, first time making true friends, first time dealing with death, etc. and while doing so we can really understand charlies raw emotions and reactions.

Charecters & Plot Line:
Charlie to me feels like a pure innocent child that is unaffected by the corruptness of the world. At least in the begining thats how he reacted to the things he experiences. I know for sure that he is off or at least i hope thats what he is. Charlie to me wasn't very relatable. I don't know about you guys but when i was in ninth grade I never went through what charlie went through. of course all our circumstances are different but i still felt he wasn't ver relatable. Another thing that intrested me was that even though charlies reactions and emotions are so child like and "pure" he was incredibly fast  in diving into the world of drugs and all. This contrast kinda reminded me of  dark and light.

Opinion:
I am not a very big fan of realistic fiction especially those concerning any highschooler doing drugs. After reading Go Ask Alice i was completely put off of that genre. Although, im not completely put off reading realistic highschooler fiction. This is most likely because I read Define Normal which is a lovely book despite being in that genre. Anyways speaking of that this book is oviously something i would typically stray from, But i had to know what all the hype was about and after hearing that emma watson would be playing in the movie i decided to go and read it. and i don't regret it. Although I felt it was slow in the begining I still managed to get sucked into the book. This book however, did not become one of my favorite books like many other book bloggers.  I was expecting so much more that i was just kinda dissapointed.

Anyways, if your into realistic fictions that are about highschoolers growing up i think this is the book for you!
Again this is NOT for you if you dot want to read about sex, drugs, and death etc.
