This week for my book group i read flowers for algernon. I REALLY like this book. Of course you all know it's about Charlie Gordon who is a retarded person. He goes through a sergrey and slowly starts becoming smarter. Charlie goes through the emotional feelings of realizing the world from a diffrent angle. He starts realizing things like his friends aren't really friends. As he keeps getting smarter and smarter and as he passes the people who made him this way, one of his big problems is that no one is treating him like a person everyone treats him like a lab rat. Also, Charlie and Algernon    become close and you start to wonder if Algernon symbolizes Charlie's inner self........

This is a really good book and everyone that isn't in my book group should read it.
