![]() ![]() Chbosky’s approach is always unflinching, even when the content is upsetting. The female characters are numerous and as well developed as their male counterparts. Beyond the writing style, there is still a lot to like about the novel. ![]() I love the control that Chbosky exercises: he demonstrates Charlie’s deteriorating mental health to the reader simply by having him see sadness wherever he goes. The writing here is so rhythmic that it’s almost hypnotic. Little kids who look tired.” “It all felt very unsettling” to him. Young girls with blue eye shadow and awkward jaws. At one point, Charlie starts going to the mall simply to try and figure out why people go there. What makes Chbosky’s stream of consciousness style more beautiful than that used in Suicidal Tendencies’ hardcore punk song “Institutionalised”, for example, is the lyrical, philosophical nature of the prose. Along the way, Chbosky intelligently explores stock YA themes such as mental health, substance abuse and sexuality, whilst simultaneously reminding the reader about how exciting it is to be young and idealistic. These letters catalogue Charlie’s attempts to “participate”, as he wanders wide eyed through a series of house parties and Rocky Horror Picture Show productions with his new, older friends. ![]() ![]() The Perks of Being a Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky is narrated by Charlie, the titular ‘wallflower’, in a series of letters that he writes to a stranger, beginning the night before he starts his freshman year of high school in 1991. ![]()

![]() ![]() But Amber Lee Connors makes her so impishly lovable that all is forgiven. That Renna is becoming pretty annoying though, If I'm being honest. The two narrators have set the gold standard for dual male/female narration and they deserve to be very successful in their narration careers should they choose to continue (and I HOPE THEY DO!) The story in the third installment has more love and sex than action and intrigue, but the characters have become so engaging that I'm sure I'll keep listening to any future books in the series. Such depth and passion and poise where needed, and such fun and playfulness where needed. I can't imagine hearing the characters with any other voices The pacing and the level of ACTING is just top notch from both Ms. Each character is perfectly distinct and complete, and even the supporting characters have charm and individuality. They are wonderful and I am so thankful the author chose to cast them to bring this series to Audiobook.
