I came across Guns where he referenced this book a few times. I had to search google to find it to read. I was blown away by how good it was, this is the first time I read something by Stephen that was not a horror novel.
This can be adapted to an excellent screen play if there wasn't so much controversy surrounding this book. I could relate to Charlie with being fed up with teachers and parents, however his course of action was extremely wrong, and he was failed by everyone around him.
One review mentions Charlie's lack of depth and I agree spot on. Charlie felt very one dimensional and seemed to be written so that you feel sympathy for him. Not once throughout the story did he take responsibility for his actions, instead he told stories about his life that shaped the person that led him to his algebra classroom
