Review:

“Flowers for Algernon”, a literary masterpiece, reveals the story of Charly, a slow-witted young man who contemplates why he is not smart, and desires to be.  Thirty-two year old Charly is happy when he does things correctly, when people are kind and when he makes his friends laugh.

After an operation to improve his intellectual capacity, Charly’s life takes a dramatic turn.

 

A truly magnificent work of literature; an unforgettable portrait of a beleaguered man, artful, profound, sensitive, simplistic, complex, and entirely human.
