This story is an amazing fictional account of a mentally challenged man and how medical science changed his life forever. Given a chance to be normal, he volounteers for a revolutionary intelligence hormone treatment in hopes of becoming normal.
In my opinion this book was a very well written, well versed and very meaningful/symbolic lengthened version of the original Flowers for Algernon published in the 1950's.
I recommend this book for everyone above the age of 10. Especially people who have delt with someone mentally challenged or if you've read the original and want to read a more in depth version.
