Flowers for Algernon

sherri_hodges shared a tip "This was one of the first books that I read that really touched my soul. I didn’t like to read until I read this book. Then decades years later they made a movie based on the book. Loved the movie also. But there is just something special when your a child reading something that touches your heart it never leaves you."

heriberto_vasquez shared a tip "I loved the development of the main character's intelligence and how visible it is in the writing. It explores the science fiction idea of how it would be to expand our intelligence so quickly and what the internal consequences of that may be."

brynlee_cotney shared a tip "flowers for algernon has a touch of mature content, and there's some language involved in the book. if you don't mind this, it's an amazing heartwarming book told through the point of view of a middle aged man born with a low IQ, and how he finds his way in the world after an operation meant to make him intelligent."

marlene_7055 shared a tip "I reread this book this year and I always loved the ending since the ending comes so quickly it leaves your mind to wonder on and on about it even days after you put down the book and I love books and endings that have that lasting effect on you."

shawna_6694 shared a tip "This was a chosen novel in my grade 9 English class 36yrs ago...loved it so much. This book had a profound effect on me. I began reading with my imagination after this novel. I realized when you read you can make the story yours by imagining what your characters look like and creating the extent of their intended emotion. It really was an awakening of sorts into the joy of reading."
