Download Flowers for Algernon Audiobook

" Wow, what a powerful story. Makes you wonder how you would react if you were in that situation. Great read. "

" I wouldn't like it if I had the operation that Charlie had. I would get frustrated by forgetting all the things I had learned. "

" I really enjoyed reading Flowers for Algernon. I thought it was a very sad story, and i felt bad for the protagonist. I thought Daniel Keys was intelligent when he showed Charlie's journal entries in the syntax relating to Charlie's intelligence. What I found interesting about this book was that it has been challenged for removal from libraries in the US and Canada. Reading this book opened my eyes up to how mentally challenged people can feel and how frustrating and hard it is to surpass life. I loved the friendship that Charlie and the mouse had, and it makes you think of little things that make you happy. Everyone should read this amazing book. "

" This book left me a sobbing mess on my bedroom floor when I first read it, seven years ago. I still think about it all the time. It's a fantastically tragic story that deserves to be told to everyone, young or old. "

" I will never forget reading this in school. Broke my heart "

" I love this book. I love how it was written and how it was all focused around Charlie. It was as if the big wide world was spinning out of control around Charlie and he was just writing down his helpless thoughts and feelings. Loved it! "

" A moving tale, told in the first person by an unforgettable protagonist. "

" Brilliant, captivating story. Full stop. "

" One of my favorite books from adolescence and still one of my favorite books. Heart-wrenching and beautiful at the same time. Loved it! "

" First book which ever made me cry. A brillant, very original, heart-wrenching and mind-blowing story. "

" Read it looking out at the world through his eyes, felt the elation, the despair and demise...excellent stuff "

" Very enthralling. Thought-provoking story concept. Heart-wrenching at times in the extreme. All in all, surprisingly hard to put down. "

" T_T "

" So wonderful and sad! "

" I thought that the book was really good. On a couple of occasions I would lose interest, but other than that I enjoyed it "

" This is an excellent book told through diary entries. The main character goes through some real turmoil and I was totally invested in him by the end. Really made me think about how intelligence can make you miserable. "

" This is one of my favorite books ever since reading a shorter version of it in a school English class textbook when I was 14. I bought my own copy, and every couple of years I read it. "

" One of my all time FAVORITES! "

" Really deep, I enjoyed it. "

" I think that it is a very wonderful and sad book. Charlie was always made fun of because he was not smart but then they did this experiment on him like they did to this mouse name Algernon because they have never done it on a person. "

" this book was about a man named charlie gordon that gets a surgy to get smart. i thought it was a good book cuse i thought it was funny. this book would be good for people who likes science fiction. "

" an interesting perspective on the power and importance of intelligence. "

" I administer these assessments for a living...so I was particularly interested...and subsequently really touched by this book. "

" I read this SOOOOO long ago, but I will never forget how happy I was for him when he was getting smarter or the horror (SPOILER ALERT) .... as the smartness declined. "

" This book was beautifully written to involve the reader in Charlie's thoughts, feelings and transformation. Daniel Keyes did a lovely job keeping the reader interested and using dialect. "

" A very heart-breaking piece of work. I read it in one sitting-it was that compelling. "

" One of my all time favorite books. When is natural course of things better left alone? Who says interference is necessary, and what is the "perfect amount" of interference. All questions this book makes you ponder. "

" A beautiful book, that explores the complexities of intelligence, emotions, and self-awareness in a heartfelt, yet honest manner. "

" This one always brings a tear or two to my eyes. "

" Even though I had already read this in ninth grade, back then I could not appreciate Keyes' in the same way I can now that I'm older. This is definitely a must read, and I have to admit I cried as I read the last few pages, even though I already knew the ending. "

" Incredibly stunning book!! Anything other than "read it, enjoy it and find for yourself" would be a spoiler :) "
