The Perks of Being a Wallflower


Just finished the cult classic, The Perks of Being a Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky over the weekend.  I heard many great things about the book, but I must say, as a huge movie lover, I mainly just wanted to check it out before I saw the film. 

Overall, I loved it.  It's a sweet, yet complicated coming-of-age story about well, you guessed it-- a wallflower (named Charlie).  Charlie's endearing innocence will take you right back to freshman year of high school (or maybe middle school for some and college for others) as you try to figure your way through a world of embarrassing Rocky Horror experiences, music, sex, drugs, family get-togethers, love, loss, and friendship.

The film of the same name comes out September 20, 2012 and stars Ezra Miller as Patrick, Emma Watson (HP films) as Sam, and Logan Lerman ("Percy Jackson" films) as Charlie. 

So, for those of you who have read the book, how do you feel about the casting of the up-coming film?--S. D.
