The book is also incredibly slow. I understand that the reader is experiencing and learning just as Charlie is, but the amount of mundane detail that has no impact on the plot is excessive. I enjoyed getting to know and love the characters as Charlie did, but I think it could have been a little bit faster.
I’m terms of the plot or meaning of the story, this book is tragic. Death, grief, depression, molesting, rape, just so much shit happens to this poor kid. As tragic as the book is, I feel that’s it’s fairly representative of what an actual kid his age may go through. Yeah, sure, not everyone goes through as much as Charlie did, but almost everyone does to some level. So I enjoyed the book for its realism and lessons, but disliked the format and pace.
