Flowers for Algernon by Daniel Keyes Book Summary

 Winner of both the Hugo and Nebula Awards, the powerful, classic story about a man who receives an operation that turns him into a genius...and introduces him to heartache.
 
Charlie Gordon is about to embark upon an unprecedented journey. Born with an unusually low IQ, he has been chosen as the perfect subject for an experimental surgery that researchers hope will increase his intelligence-a procedure that has already been highly successful when tested on a lab mouse named Algernon.

As the treatment takes effect, Charlie's intelligence expands until it surpasses that of the doctors who engineered his metamorphosis. The experiment appears to be a scientific breakthrough of paramount importance, until Algernon suddenly deteriorates. Will the same happen to Charlie?

Wonderful. Unique story wonderfully written and very insightful. Must read.

Tragic, well-told story. This book was about a guy who was stupid who got a medical procedure to become smart. As he become smarter, he became disillusioned by the way people were treating him. Later, he became dumb again because the effects of the treatment wore off. He slowly became stupider and stupider until he couldn’t take care of himself. I think he died early because the mouse died early. It was very tragic. I liked that this book was easy to follow with few characters.

good. good

Simply great. A wondeful story about someone struggling to make sense of a world previously unknown to him. Charlie explores the ups and downs of intelligence and the emotions he can finally understand. 10/10 %100 recommend.

Just amazing.. I feel like I went on a journey through one of the most heart-wrenching, painful, and incredible stories I’ve ever gone on. It’s been a long time since I’ve had this much fun reading. Charlie Gordon is hands down one of the best-written protagonists I’ve ever read. I was just completely blown away!

Wonderful read.. I’ve never read this before, and knew I needed to when I’ve heard people talk about it over the years. This book is a classic, for good reason. It will leave you invested, emotional, and possibly even crying. It did for me. I loved the book so much, I immediately had to find the movie and watch it. This book really puts certain things into perspective. You won’t regret reading it. It is extremely well written and from an interesting journal point of view.

Wonderful.. I ought to have read this about 30 years ago. I’m happy I finally did, because it’s one of the best Ive ever read.

What the heck. Good book

Perfect. This book 100% made me cry at the end, amazing and timeless book in its own right.

Unforgettable Story!. I’ve read the book long time ago which was giving to me as a gift from my English Teacher in High School!( 1996 ) I’ve been still thinking about it! Take my word & read this book!

Flowers for Algernon. Such a beautiful book. Hurts my heart with the true thoughts and feelings of Charlie Gordon. He was personalized very well, I only wish there was more of pre-op CG at the back end of the book.

Great read. I love this book, I’ve read it since middle school

Very interesting. This was a great read. I finished it in about 2 days, couldn’t put it down.

Wow!. I had to read this book for English class. I’m so glad I did. This book is incredible. There are things in it that completely changed my perspective. It’s so saddening to see how Charlie slowly loses his intelligence and begins to lose the understanding he once had, but I love how the author had the interesting take on how self centered Charlie was when he was a genius and how genuine he was when he was “dumb”. Really incredible book.
