What happens when three of our writers meet up to discuss the film version of their favourite book? Well, too much talking for one thing, but also this: our first podcast review! Catherine, Sarah and Daisy talk about Stephen Chbosky’s The Perks Of Being A Wallflower which if you don’t know already, is a very good book that FINALLY got made into a pretty good film starring Logan Lerman, Emma Watson and Ezra Miller. Our reviewers talk about the actors, the book/film debate and the legendary ‘infinite song’. No one cried [much] and to top it all off, they got to see the film in an empty cinema which made it even better.
Enjoy!
Did you read/see Perks? What did you make of it?
About the writers: Catherine, Sarah and Daisy have known each other for a while [10+years and counting]. Catherine was the first of them to read Perks, she then lent it to Sarah and then to Daisy who both soon got their own copies. They all share a love of The Rocky Horror Picture Show and were thrilled when they realised what a big part it played in Perks and when Richard O’Brien showed up at that Amanda Palmer gig they went to.
I didn’t read the book, but I really enjoyed the film. Now I’m going to listen to you three girls have a chat about it.
