Oh Algernon. Really great book. The way it was written was pretty amazing. The writing starting at Charlie's level, progressing, and digressing again truly broke my heart. And easy short read that is still so complex and moving and really makes you reflect. This book makes you appreciate things you hadn't before. Cried at the end. Happy and sad tears.
