Hello! So I have decided to do a short but sweet book review,
I hope you enjoy it as I love reading and would like to do more of these type
of blogs. I am sure you have heard of ‘Perks’ and you may have read it or seen
it at the cinema. The film stars Logan Lerman, Emma Watson and Ezra Miller who
all capture the characters perfectly. I personally loved the film and I thought
it was brilliantly put together and I found the character Charlie very
relatable. It also made me want to feel infinite and to always surround myself
with people that make me happy like Sam and Patrick make Charlie feel.
I read the book
during my holiday and I actually felt it was better than the film even though I
watch it religiously. The film did leave out a few parts of the book and I
actually really enjoyed reading the ‘unseen’ parts to Charlie’s story. I know
that a film wouldn’t be able to capture every detail of a book but I don’t feel
the essence of the book was lost at all.
The book also made me
learn that during your teenage years you have to ‘participate’, enjoy your adolescence
and screw the people who say you’re a teacher’s pet or think that your just
plain weird. I think we should all learn to embrace our quirks no matter how
crazy they may be. The book and film are brilliant and even my grandparents
have watched it, they loved it so much they have also read the book, which
shows that it’s not just for teenagers. Hope to speak soon, hope your summer
has been wonderful! Love Phoebe Eve
