'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?

Kritikerstimmen

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
Excellent . . . extremely moving
Unflinchingly honest . . . it will make you reflect on your own life . . . and completely and utterly break your heart
A narrative tour de force, very moving, beautiful and remorseless in its simple logic
Strikingly original
A tale that is convincing, suspectful and touching

A stunning tour through the intellectual development and decline of a human being. I'm speechless.

Enchanting

Flowers for Algernon was one of the most heartbreaking stories that I have ever listened to.

The terror and sadness of it comes from how incredibly human the characters act.
There are Highs and Lows, Outbursts and reconciliations and all the while confusion about why life can be so unfair sometimes.

I doubt that anyone who has listened to this (expertly narrated) audio book, will be able to ever forget the fate of Charlie Gordon.

absolutely devastating, but in a good way

The story is very touching and also quite sad. I think reading the book would be better than listening to the audiobook, because it makes the changes in Charlie’s writing much clearer.

Algernon, the poor mouse
