redkeys 's review for:

Flowers for Algernon by Daniel Keyes
reflective sad medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes
I spoiled myself a bit because the premise made me dubious but intrigued, but overall it seemed to have good reviews. I did enjoy this book, and for the time it's a lot more compassionate than I expected. Well-written, admittedly Freudian, and the ending leaves a bit of a sour taste for personal reasons. I'll need to come back to this as a written book, as I listened to the audiobook and it seems some of the written cues didn't translate.
