'A masterpiece of poignant brilliance . . . heartbreaking' Guardian

Charlie Gordon, a floor sweeper born with an unusually low IQ, has been chosen as the perfect subject for an experimental surgery that doctors hope will increase his intelligence - a procedure that has been highly successful when tested on a lab mouse named Algernon. All Charlie wants is to be smart and have friends, but the treatement turns him into a genius.

Then Algernon begins to fade. What will become of Charlie?

This is one of the greats: a story and a central character that have stayed with me for thirty years, from the first moment I picked it up
A masterpiece of poignant brilliance . . . heartbreaking, and utterly, completely brilliant
A timeless tearjerker

Mesmerizing journey of Charlie Gordo and his fate.

A deep psychological insight into a complex character. It's very detailed, realistic and well written. I perceived the book as mainly sad and depressing, as the main character constantly struggles to understand himself and the world around him and I had to cry sometimes. Nevertheless I got absorbed into the mind of Charly and commiserated with him, which was an intense experience.

Emotional Rollercoaster

Damn his voice really gets the nuance and emotions across! I really love the voices he gives to all the characters.

Best performance I've heard
