Flowers for Algernon by Daniel Keyes
3.0
I remembered liking this book more the first time through -
What I do love is watching the (sometimes subtle) emotional growth Charlie goes through. I also love Fay (named so we think of the word fey? Fey: A word meaning "wild or crazy acting") I love Fay more than Alice. Maybe that says something about me.
Also a quick apology for my fellow book-clubbers out there: my memory obviously wasn't functioning properly when my brief synopsis of the book was "Yeah, it's about a scientist-guy fighting off a degenerative disease." I promise this will be the last time I let anything summarative (made-up word) in nature come out of my mouth when my memories of a book are a big hazy mess. Even if it means admitting that I forget about 73% of everything I read.
