I love Perks of Being a Wallflower, so it just seemed natural that I'd get a book that Chbosky chose to associate himself with. big mistake. out of the whole book i found maybe 1 short story i really liked, 2 or 3 that were enjoyable, and the rest i had to push myself to get through.a lot of these authors were previously unpublished for a reason.if you're thinking of getting it because of Chbosky's name, don't. it's a waste. if you're getting it because you want good short stories, don't. it's a waste. but if you believe in supporting the unsupported, then by all means - go for it.
