Flowers For Algernon

melissa_hudson_8331 shared a tip "A really great book. Even knowing how the book would end, I dreaded it. It broke my heart to see how kind everyone was at the bakery, and Alice's reaction to him showing up in class. What a beautiful journey it took me on. On what humanity is. September 25"

sherri_arney 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."

garraty_mcvries shared a tip "This is one of the best books I’ve ever read. The author does a fantastic job portraying both the decay and growth of Charlie’s intelligence throughout the book. 5/5 all around!"

lauren_christian_6030 shared a tip "I’m almost at a loss for words. Flowers for Algernon is beautiful yet heartbreaking. Bold yet some themes are out of my reach. I found myself mourning along with the main character all the while watching in awe at the literary masterpiece Daniel Keyes had created."

bailey_v-nick shared a tip "I had a hard time getting interested in this book at the beginning, but as it went on I found myself unable to put it down. A very touching story that’s just the right amount of bitter sweet."

halle_tash shared a tip "Stirred a thoughtfulness. Insightful, interesting, and the writing style made the whole plot feel real. You feel the ending with the main character. (8/10, slightly drawn out)"

michah_t. shared a tip "Beautiful story. Made me cry when I was a too-cool-for- school teenage boy, somewhat in the midst of my brief "real men don't ____" period."

natalie_danielle_9391 shared a tip "This books is so raw and brutally honest with what some would consider to be sensitive topics. Its written in such a devastating yet beautiful way. I absolutely loved this book beyond words and cant recommend enough. #mental_health"

imaloserwhataboutyou shared a tip "This book is beautiful. It gets to you. Hard. I can't say anything other than. Read it. It's worth all the time and more it'll take to read."

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."

jessi_bourdon shared a tip "This is easily my all time favourit book. I can read this over and over again. Brilliantly written in a unique style that really helps get the character across. Love love love this book and all the clever symbolism used throughout."

olivia_grace_7292 shared a tip "This book is amazing and 100% pulls at your heart strings. If you want a book that will make you realize things both about the world and about yourself then this book is a must read."

nikki_smith_6305 shared a tip "i was in 8th grade when i read this book so i think it’s time for a refresher. i do however remember the moral behind the book which is a reason i fell in love with it."

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."

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."

lori_hasan_3391 shared a tip "I love this book so much. It's the first book that stuck with me days and weeks later. Probably the first book to hurt my heart, I loved the main character so much."

gisell_disz shared a tip "The first book ever to make me hard cry but I appreciate this book so much it’s so engaging and amazing to read, this book made me want to read more :)) loved it"

robert_munson shared a tip "Loved this book! The beginning can get confusing if you appreciate “good grammar”, but because of first person point of view, Charlie’s condition is responsible for incapability to comprehend much of anything well. After page sixty, I personally guarantee you will be incapable of setting the book down. Although I do recommend slower pace when reading, if you get confused with the differentiation of hallucinations or reality in the subject matter of science fiction involving the human brain."

RoninRaccoon shared a tip "I probably read just a short copy of this book but it is one great book. It interesting of reading it just by reading it from daily logs. I believe more people should read this book"
