Daniel Keyes - Flowers for Algernon


Hmm, a modern take on Frankenstein. A retarded man is transformed into having high intelligence, the emotional struggles that ensue, and then a return to the start.

An excellent concept that starts so well, but by the end it got tedious and I skim read the final 20%. A real shame; it was originally a short story, and this is how it should have stayed.
