From what I understand online, this book is very famous in the USA and often teached in highschool, but I practically never heard of it in my country. So I picked it up without knowing what to expect, but after the first few “chapters” I was so hooked up that I finished the whole book in a day.
It simply has a wounderful use and understanding of human psychology (and I then discovered that the author is a psychology professor), that really let you visualise Charlie psyche. It creates such a realistic character that all of his decision made full sense. It is one of those books that goes from point A to point B, you fully know how it is going to finish, without any twist, and you still are hooked for the way everything is described and writed. The duality of the academic setting with everyday life really helped in visualizing the two different “world” explored, and every time that one of Charlie’s memories was revealed it really fitted like a puzzle inside his previuos behaviour.
It has left me with a great desire to read other book with such a huge psychological component in it, does anyone has a reccomandation?
PS: I fully expect many people to not like it, cause it has been given as an homework in highschool. I alwats hated being told what to read.
