scifi_rat 's review for:
Flowers for Algernon
by Daniel Keyes
reflective
fast-paced
the reviews that talk about how sad charlie's journey made them and how this is generally a very sad and tragic book feel inherently ableist. if anything this book is about trauma and learning and coming to terms with the kind of pain that self awareness can bring.
some of the psychology and sociology feels dated in many ways but ultimately it does the job it sets out to do.
