Review: Flowers For Algernon is a novel about hope and hardships.It is a science fiction novel about a 32 year old mentally disabled man who undergoes a life changing operation.It is a heart warming story as the author take the reader through Charlie Gordon's trials and tribulations at a extremely important point in his life.Charlie has a drastic life change at the age of 32 when doctors do a mental experiment on him to increase his I.Q.I recommend this book pretty highly to any one who wants to learn about how painful life can be for mentally challenged people.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: This was one of the worst book that I ever read in my life
Review: I think this book related to real life. One is that Charlie Gordon has who a problem in that to improve his IQ,and he was looked down upon by people who belittle him because they think he is dumb. So he we went to Dr. Strauss for help which he got. Some of the reason that I did not like this book because in the middle of the book and in the beginning he started to speak gibberish which is very hard to understand. That is one of the reason that I does not like this book. Another was that it did not intrigue me so I did not want to read more. This was a real problem that I had trouble to come back to the book and reading more of the book that I thought was a complete waste of my time reading this book for me and also for you. This book is one of the worst book that I read in my whole life.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: This is a great book all adolescence should read.
Review: Flowers For Algernon is an overall good book that starts slowly. After a few chapters, however, it became very addictive and they reader doesn't want to put it down. Charlie Gordon was a 32 year old retarded man whose parents sent him to a home when he was young. He has an operation to improve his IQ, and then his problems begin. I recommend this book to all adolescence who often have problems of their own.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A excellent book which has a lot of feelings.
Review: I enjoyed this book. I thought that the book was going to be boring because for the first couple of chapters all the author did was talk about his life. This book was about a man named Charlie Gordon who has an operation. Before the operation Charlie was retarted,and after the operation he was a genius. Overall I enjoyed the book and Daniel Keyes wrote an excellent book. Charlie had gone through a tough time in his life and this operation cahnges his live. This book was excellent. Brad Arcibald

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A brilliant writing.
Review: This is an amazing book. I love how Daniel Keyes portrays the many changes that occur in Charlie throughout his life. It shows how a man with so many problems is able to handle them with the help of his friends. After an operation to increase his intelligence, Charlie's life is changed upside down. He works at a bakery where he realizes people make fun of him. Slowly his brain starts developing, and he has more problems than he can handle. The reader is taken in by Charlie's many dilemmas. I recommend this book to people who enjoy an easy, well written book.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: An good book that put's you through a lot of emotions
Review: This book is an overall good book. The first two chapters of the book are little boring because Charlie Gordon, the main character of the book, talks about himself for 20 pages. The rest of the book is alot better. The most exciting and best part of the book, is from the middle of the book to the end of the book. This part of the book is jam packed with excitement, worry, terror,and happiness. In this part of the book the last three chapters are the best. This part of the book is filled with happiness and sorrow. I would recomend this book to anybody. I am a peson who usually only likes action, adventure books, and I really liked this book.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: This is about an operation that changed someone's life.
Review: personally i didn't like this book very much, it is about a retarded person who goes through an operation and realizes people have been making fun of him his whole life. It is completely unbelivable and it shouldn't be written in journal entries, it makes everything more confusing. But the overall idea of the story was good. It is definitely an adult's book.

Rating: 4 stars
