Flowers For Algernon

I really enjoyed this book. I think that it was written in clever form, not just the diary entrys but how it shows his growing intelligence. Flowers For Algernon is about a man named Charlie who has a learning disability. Charlie has surgery performed on him to make him smarter, and soon his whole world is changed. Suddenly he becomes a genius but is this much better than what he was before. Now Charlie is confronted with all types of problims that he never realized existed, remembers his disturbing past, and has struggled with the reality of his life. I think that this book has a lot of deep meaning and symbolism. I would reccomend this book to someone who loves fiction but also loves something that really sucks you in.
