I really liked this book! One of my favorite things about this book was the way it was told. It was told in a journal format that made the reader-writer connection a lot better for me. The way it was told and the plot of this book reminded me of the book The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Nighttime by Mark Haddon. I loved that book and loved Flowers for Algernon because they were so similar. One of things in this book that made it so interesting was the transformation of the main character, Charlie. His journey from having an IQ of 60 to being smarter then some of the smartest doctors in the world made this book incredibly intriguing. I loved that you could clearly see his transformation through the spelling and grammar of his progress reports. Besides a intellectual transformation, Charlie went through a behavioral and emotional transformation as the book progressed. In the beginning, he was a very vulnerable, naive person but he was very happy and loving. In the middle, when he was extremely intelligent, he was very conceited but was a lot more independent and confident and at the end, he was depressed and lonely. All of the transformations in this book made it very interesting and overall I really liked this book.
