The Perks of being a Wallflower First Impressions

    So I just started a new book.  I have heard so many people raving about how good this is, and having recently finished a book, I was ready to pick up The Perks of being a Wallflower. Above is not the cover of the book, but rather the film cover.  The book has recently been made into a movie, so when I finish the book I will for sure get to watching the movie.  Below is a trailer of the movie.

   The first thing I though when I read the title was what exactly a wallflower is.  The dictionary defines it as, "One who does not participate in the activity at a social event because of shyness or unpopularity".  Honestly when I saw the term "wallflower" immediatly I thought of some giant ugly flower.  I mean normally when something has the word "flower" in it, it is a flower. 
   The next thing noticed was in the cover of the book as shown below, there is no picture on the cover.  It is just a blank green book with small white print at the top.  In the corner there is a small picture of legs.  I take this as the authors creative way of showing how he is in social situations, scared and in the corner.
