    Flowers for Algernon by Daniel Keyes

    Not many realize that Keyes originally published a shorter version of this story in The Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction. I believe his main character Charlie is the quintessential human. Stupid. By miracle, genius strikes, then stupid returns. That sums up our experience here on Earth, however, I digress. Charlie is still stupid when he is a genius--he gets drunk on several occasions and is promiscuous, and to beat it all, falls in love--so though he becomes extremely intelligent, he is still very much flawed. Most of the problems arise from others around Charlie becoming glaringly aware of their own failings to fulfill their potential.

    FLOWERS FOR ALGERNON

    A very good read. I first read this in the 1960's, and still enjoyed reading it again. A timeless classic.

    Buy it and enjoy owning a classic.

    Charley

    I bought this book for a gift for someone. I read the book in college and as a younger person. I wanted the person I bought it for to read the book because we talked about the content so often, I felt she would really find the Mice(Algernon) and Charley unique charagers.
