As the critics explain‚ “The Perks of Being a Wallflower successfully juggles a number of taboo topics – relying heavily on subtlety in its adherence to PG-13 rating restrictions. This isn’t to say that the movie is dark and depressing because it’s actually a very uplifting and fun theater experience; however‚ filmgoers who aren’t prepared for a challenging time at the movies might be a little blindsided by certain elements of the plot” (www.progressivepress

After reading the novel and watching the movie "All Quiet on the Western Front" the novel proved to be a lot better for learning about World War I.

Yes‚ many of the people out there like guns and bombs‚ but the book had many more twists and turns then the movie. I will show you one comparison I noticed. In the movie‚ Davie’s dad died from a tree falling on him. In the book Davie’s dad was shot. Also‚ the book itself didn’t start with Davie’s dad dying ‚ it started with
