I read it in 7th grade for a reading seminar assignment. I remember not liking it with a bunch of other people because of the sex stuff (what do you expect from a bunch of middle school kids?). But it was a very sad book.

Haha, yeah, what a weird coincedence. We're reading Flowers for Algernon for Language Arts and we're on Progress Report .. 11, I believe? Anywho, from what I can tell, it's a really good book so far. I hope Charlie doesn't die like Algernon did though.
 He's kind of starting to grow on me.

we read that in my L.A. class and saw the movie after we finished it. I thought the movie moved a little to quickly, but they both were good all the same.

I read it a while ago. It was okay...but I was in a Literature Circle group with immature boys who kept making fun of Charlie, so it wasn't quite enjoyable.

Oh mann. This is an amazing book. I saw that it was one of the top banned books on some site, and thought it might be interesting, and man. It was great. I can kind of relate to it, in a way. The end is incredibly sad, I agree.

I didn't read the book, but in 8th grade in English class, we watched the movie. It really is sad. Yeah, in the end Charlie dies. Or at least in the movie version.

^ We read it in 8th grade and watched the movie as well. I liked it a lot. Of course, I don't know if I would now - I like to think my mind has progressed a great deal since I was 13/14.

I love that book. It first caught my attention because of the many grammatical errors.
 but it actuallly turned out much deeper for me. And apart from reading the book, I also watched the movie, which was all right.
