Flowers For Algernon

A book by Daniel Keyes

This was a schockingly good and brilliant book. It's a very intriguing view on the life and realizations of an individual that goes from very low IQ to incredibly high. The fact that the book is written from the perspective of Charlie, where his writing improves as the experiment becomes more and more effective, was quite original. I wasn't particularly surprised at how Charlie's life got exponentially better and worse with an increasingly high IQ. I find this exploration of lowest to highest human intelligence quite intriguing and some of it applicable to other aspects of like (e.g. wealth).
