Flowers For Algernon-Page 271

This book has a really interesting concept and it pulls it off really well. This book presents the story of Charlie Gordon from a I.Q. of 70 to 185 in a series of journals or progress reports. These reports show how Charlie is becoming more and more advanced as his writing become more accurate and thoughtful. Charlie's journey has a lot of interesting moments as he realizes that the people he thought were his friends maybe are not, and as he realizes that the people whom he thought were gods are maybe only just men. He is also connected with a lab mouse names Algernon, who was one of the first mouse to receive the same procedure that Charlie had. Overall this book has many funny and dramatic moments. i would recommend this book to anyone, just as long as they are okay with a little bit of adult themes.
