Información sobre este eBook

“A timeless story for every young person who needs to understand that they are not alone.” —Judy Blume

“Once in a while, a novel comes along that becomes a generational touchstone. The Perks of Being a Wallflower is one of those books.” —R. J. Palacio, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Wonder

This #1 New York Times bestselling coming-of-age story with millions of copies in print takes a sometimes heartbreaking, often hysterical, and always honest look at high school in all its glory.

The critically acclaimed debut novel from Stephen Chbosky follows observant “wallflower” Charlie as he charts a course through the strange world between adolescence and adulthood. First dates, family drama, and new friends. Sex, drugs, and The Rocky Horror Picture Show. Devastating loss, young love, and life on the fringes. Caught between trying to live his life and trying to run from it, Charlie must learn to navigate those wild and poignant roller-coaster days known as growing up.

A #1 New York Times bestseller for more than a year, adapted into a major motion picture starring Logan Lerman and Emma Watson (and written and directed by the author), and an American Library Association Best Book for Young Adults (2000) and Best Book for Reluctant Readers (2000), this novel for teen readers (or wallflowers of more-advanced age) will make you laugh, cry, and perhaps feel nostalgic for those moments when you, too, tiptoed onto the dance floor of life.

Valoraciones y reseñas

Deberían tenerlo en varios idiomas, al español por ejemplo, pero en sí el rendimiento al avanzar página por página es fluida, letra clara, y es casi igual al libro original (el de hojas de verdad) el libro es bastante bueno, uno de mis favoritos, y todas las historias a mí parecer son buenas y hay que tener una mente abierta para leerlo, pero deberían dejar más en claro el final ya que muchas personas no habían entendido que Charlie había sido abusado, en fin agreguen más idiomas y doy las 5 estrellas

It really is a good book. All characters are well developed, and the story, and everything about this book, just touches your heart, and after reading... you keep thinking about what you've read. If you have the chance to read it, then do it.

La manera en que está escrito este libro me encanta. Algunas de las entradas del libro son muy fuertes y crudas, y por eso me fascina. Las canciones que escucha Charlie son de lo mas buenas y eso es otro añadido de por que me enamora tanto este libro.
