Perks of being a Wallflower

Stephen Chbosky writes Perks of being a Wallflower through a collection of letters than Charlie sends to a friend. I like how he wrote this way because then you really know what Charlie is thinking and feels. It helps you really get to know Charlie bettter than just reading a story from third person. I also like how the book is written because you can see time slowly go by, each letter has the date on it. Some letters are random things about Charlie that help you get to know him better. The only problem with writing this way (although it could also be seen as a plus) is that you only get to see the story through Charlie's point of view. Charlie seems like he always tries to be very honest, so you know that he's telling the truth when writes. I think that it was a good idea to write a book through letters because many books now aren't written that way, and its more creative and interesting written this way.
