This book had a profound affect on me through Charlie's emotional journey of finding, the losing intelligence. It made me think more deeply about the concept of IQ and the it's link with personality. This story raises questions about the ethics of scientific experimentation and if being smart is all it's cracked up to be. Would recommend.
