While I don't think this movie, director Stephen Chbosky's adaptation of his best-selling novel, is likely launch a franchise or become a global brand with its own clothing line and signature fragrance, there is a certain breathless anticipation for its release. What seemed to resonate most with fans of Chbosky's novel was the story's structure, a series of letters penned to an ambiguously defined recipient as the wallflower Charlie navigates both the familiar (the mechanics of high school) and the intimate (his grief over his best friend's suicide). Respectfully skipping over star Logan Lerman, our interest thus far is honed on Ezra Miller.
The Perks of Being a Wallflower is an epistolary novel written by American novelist Stephen Chbosky. The story is narrated by a teenager who goes by the alias of "Charlie"; he describes various scenes in his life by writing a series of letters to an anonymous person, whom he does not know personally.
The book also touches briefly on drug use and Charlie's experiences with this.As the story progresses, various works of literature and film are referenced and their meanings discussed.
The book was third on the American Library Association's list of the top ten most frequently challenged books of 2009, for reasons including the book's treatment of drugs, homosexuality, sex, and suicide.
