I have just started a new book called The Perks of Being a Wallflower. I have heard great things about this book, so I wanted to check it out. I also wanted to see the movie, but its always good to read the book first.  So far the main character Charlie has started high school and he has lost his best friend, named Michael, due to suicide.  Its a Friday evening and Charlie decides to go to the high school football game alone and he sees a guy named “Nothing” from one of his classes. “Nothing was there at the football game, he was one of the few people who was not an adult that was actually watching the game. I mean really watching the game. He would yell things out” ( Chbosky 19) I think Charlie and “Nothing” are going to become close friends. Charlie also met his step sister that evening and based on this information he may use “Nothing” to get close with Sam who is “Nothing’s” step sister.
