A book that shows the life of today's youth. A boy is expelled because he is different, thinks differently. At least from the perspective of the other (the in my opinion it is quite normal, just a little shy). He has experienced something bad in his childhood that he can not handle properly. The book was also made into a film (The Perks of Being a Wallflower), and I can not say what I more liked the book or the movie really. Both are really great, In the book also Outen homosexuals is addressed as a colleague of the main character is a. If one wants to deal with the topic of the individual apart, the book is a good start. =)
