A review by shadysands
Flowers for Algernon by Daniel Keyes

dark reflective sad medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? It's complicated
• Loveable characters? It's complicated
• Diverse cast of characters? Yes
• Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

5.0

I absolutely loved this book. I think the way it was written was so perfectly done- how Charlie is getting smarter without realising but is subtly shown in the writing style to the reader. Made me reflect on a lot of aspects about intelligence, trauma responses, how he was recieved by others dependent on his journey. I think this is a book that will stay with me long after reading.
