Flowers For Algernon, has anyone read it? Options

[frenchaddict88]

Recently, I finished reading a book called Flowers For Algernon. It's one of the best books I've ever read! Makes you think...and it made me a LOT more sensitive to...well.......everything.

[MeLoNiSyUmMy]

yup. read it in 8th grade. i liked it too!!

[angel-roh]

I read the summary. But I'm confused. Does that make him a mice too then? or he's just a human who met a mice? O__O;;

[MrElsewhere]

i've read part of it i think.

iono, i may have read all of it!

i thought it was really sad.. =[

[chak_gahk]

I read it in 7th grade English... it was one of the only things I read for that class, because I actually enjoyed it. It's also funny in some parts too, like 'I wanna be a gen-ass'...not that it's funny that he didn't know what he was saying, but you get the point, right? @_@

[xSiLLyMex]

Ya. I read it recently for 8th grade. It's a good book. It's sad that the rat died and pretty soon he will too? I read like the play version or something.

i read an excerpt in 8th grade, and it seemed pretty good. never really got around to reading the whole thing though.

[MeLoNiSyUmMy]

no, the guy..i forget his name now has a surgery so that he'll bcome smart cause his IQ is the amount of a 6 year old or something and hes like..30 or 40. and so after he gets the surgery, he gets smarter daily and these scientists do these experiments. I kinda forgot but i dont think the guy dies..he just gets stupid again later on in the book.

I loved that book. So sad in the end </3. But it is a great read, I reccomend it to everyone.

*Spasm* I remember reading this in eighth grade. Aww...it was so sad. I almost cried when we were reading it in class. No joke. Haha.

[*tweeak*]

wow, why did everyone read it in 8th grade? i'm fairly certain that's when i read it too. we read the shortened verison in class, and i enjoyed it, so i got the book out of the library, and i think i liked it a lot

[Janolam]

Yeah. The story was sad.

[sheepy]

yup i read it..so sad =[

[lilliannnn]

Yeah. I had to read it for school this year. I don't think it was the full version though. Anyways, I liked it a lot. It was really sad. I felt bad for Charlie. I want to see the movie.

[MetalChick77]

Well I had to read it the summer before freshman year, I can't say I loved the book but it wasn't like, horrible.

[5ayuri]

Yeah I read it in 8th grade, it is a really good story, I liked it a lot.

[YourSuperior]

I remember that book, I read it when I was in eighth grade too. That was a sad book. I felt sorry for that man.

[DisneyPrincessKa...]

we read the shortened version in class this year (8th) and i didn't like it. it was just... weird. i couldn't get into it because it seemed all broken up. i'll have to read the whole book sometime though, because i don't think the condensed version does it any justice.

[slipper]

i read it. i think it actually made me cry, or just depressed for a short period of time. i like this book a lot.

i heard they're going to make a movie on this, unless it's just my imagination. i think they already did?

[william]

^there is a movie. it's pretty old though.

[littlewhite]

8th grade english class. i love this story. pretty sad for the algernon to die.

[glit_gal]

yep i've read it when I was in 8th grade, good book but whoever made the movie must have been on like drugs...it was SO weird.

[misoshiru]

i've read part of it. it's so sad. :(
