Query: Ehh... I could do without.

I feel this book tries too hard to cover too much in too short a time. Unless the reader has decided to identify with Charlie before ever cracking this sleek MTV-worthy cover, he never will, for the author offers very little in the 'hero' to touch someone who has not lived a similar life. Charlie's no Holden, no Alice in Wonderland, no Harry Potter. Each of those character experiences things I never have, but in some way touches me. So, as a recent high school graduate, I didn't find that this novel spoke to me or my compulsory teen angst. That said, I did find that I wanted to read it until the end. But I wouldn't do it again.
