Intelligence, love, family, guilt, identity, fear, change. These are the themes present throughout Flowers. This book will amaze you, anger you, and crush you. My eyes were often wet and my stomach had a pit in it. I was particularly taken aback because my brother is mentally retarded and I’ve been by him and others like him all my life. I was so enthralled I told my mom every detail I could remember and explained the whole book to her upon finishing it. The format was a unique approach and added a lot to the story.

I’ll remember this book forever.
5/5 stars

PS The G in Algernon is pronownsed lyke the G in Goerge
