I am probably going to get a lot of hate for this but this book was definatly one of my least favorite books I think I have ever read, the story line was good but the story was all over the pages, talking about one topic in the one letter and then forgetting about it until 3 letters later, it honestly made me feel extremely frustrated but I knew what the story line was getting to, if I read it correctly, a young boy fighting his way through freshmen year of highschool, trying his best not to be what everyone perceived him to be, book worm, teachers pet etc... A depressed young boy tries to fit in without trying to fit in and he literally does everything he is told to do, for me it send out the wrong message, if a young teenager would stumble along this book and see all the things Charlie was doing and was still getting straight A's, would definitely send someone down the wrong path but that is just from thought and from seeing it first hand.
