Flowers for Algernon Is one of the most amazing books that I have ever read. I don't know why but I want to describe this book as beautiful. Maybe because of the emotions that it evokes in me. It is about a mentaly handicaped man who works at a factory. He undergoes a procedure that makes him smart. After a while the effects of the surgery wear off and he reverts to his old self. This book has been banned, though I don't know why. I can still feel the sadness at the end of the book, and his trying to hold on to the one thing that symbolizes what made him happy. I know I am being vauge, but I don't want to ruin the book for people who have not read it. Anyway what do you guys think about the book?

It was great when i read it in highschool, don't really have time to do much reading anymore, but its definately on my shelf.

the movie was pretty good too

One of the best books I ever read. I read it in 8th grade and still remember it well.

it was required reading when i was in school.very beautiful.

It is taught in the eighth grade

Required reading

Excellent book

Great book but I didnt know it was banned. Why would a book like that get banned in the first place and by who?

I don't remember much about it, but I know we read it in 9th grade, and I believe we also watched the movie. You should check it out! And I'll end up reading it again some day, most likely.

Aperrantly because it is "filthy and immoral", along with flashbacks to puberty that some people may find "objectionable."

I have seen the movie and it is great.
