Written by Stephen Chbosky, this epistolary novel tells us about Charlie who writes letters to an unknowned friend.

      In the beginning, I really didn’t like the story. I thought it was boring like a basic story about american teenagers, but I was suprised ! 

      The book is about Charlie’s highschool life, his new friends, his family. Charlie has an unconventional style which attaches you to him ; he has his own character. He is quite shy and reserved, but he has got 2 older friends : Sam and Patrick. His english teacher Bill is important to him ; he helps him a lot at school and also in his personal life : Charlie has to face several problems such as drugs, alcohol and sexual life …

      In 2012, a movie adapted from this book came out. (Main actors : Logan Lerman, Emma Watson and Ezra Miller)

       Hi everyone !

Recently I read a new book : 13 reasons why !

Waouh! I think it’s  one of the best books I’ve ever read !

Because you know I’m not a  very big book reader,  but this one is very interesting and it conveys an important message for us, teenagers It talks about bullying at school and the effects it can produce. I will sum up the story :

Hannah Becker, a  young girl who committed suicide is going to explain why and more particularly the 13 reasons why she killed herself. After her death, the first person who caused her to commit suicide receives a box, and after that, he has to give it to the next person. In this box there are 13 tapes  ; each tape matches with one person who bullied her. The last of them, Clay Jensen,  has received the box but he doesn’t behave like all the other ;  in fact,  he doesn’t  follow Hannah’s instructions. He’s going to denounce theses facts to the police and try to change things….

I hope that you’d like to read that book now. It was adapted in a series, so,  if you don’t like to read,  you can watch the series,  that’s  cool too !

See you soon ! M. J.
