I think I'll have to watch it now to get a better idea of the book :) It's an amazing book! One of my favourites, if not the #1!

Slightly spoilery comment ahead: ...Great review Jo. Slightly spoilery comment ahead: I also found the Rocky Horror references in the text interesting, a film that is both embraced and controversial with regards to representing LGBTQ individuals. I loved how Chbosky showed queer and allied alike basically embracing the fun of the show as their own subculture rebellion, and how Charlie views the experience with both an outside looking in and inside looking out perspective. Chbosky writes so many brilliant and intricate layers of identity exploration within the text. Such a good book.Charliehttp://charlieinabook.weebly.com/noreply@blogger.com
