Flowers for Algernon by Daniel Keyes

This is the book group book I am doing, so I am not done with it. It is about a man named Charlie, who has a really low IQ. So he became a part of an experiment to become smarter. Along with him, there is a mouse who is part of the experiment. The doctors see how he is developing, and it becomes a really quick development. This book is written in his perspective, meaning at first it has a bunch of misspellings, and that way it seems more realistic. Throughout the book, since he becomes a lot smarter, he learns a lot of new stuff, and that is not always a good thing. So far I have liked this book, I like the realistic feel to it and how it makes you think a lot. It has some mature topics, but overall I would recommend this to anyone.

  3. this sounds like a really good book, I wonder what it would be like to be someone with a really low IQ, and then suddenly a really high one?

  4. this sounds like a good book. i think it would be really cool to read it with all the misspelling and the cool first person view from a person with a low IQ.
