Are you serious? n.n;

Perks is one of my most favorite books ever. I guess maybe I'm just sentimental, because it was given to me at a time where the content was... well, very relevant to my life. It was a very comforting book to me, because it touched on some subjects I was very familiar with.

I think that, as far as coming of age novels go, Perks is one of the best... Especially since it's geared towards the newer generations. It's relevant to what kids today deal with.
