MaddestMax reviewed Flowers for Algernon by Daniel Keyes
Review of "The Play of Daniel Keyes' Flowers for Algernon" on 'Goodreads'
3 stars
Possible spoilers I guess. I don't imagine anyone reads this book anymore without sort of knowing what they're getting in to. I read this book based on a huge number of reddit posts saying how sad it is. Call me strange, but I like to intentionally push my comfort zone occasionally. So, I read this. It's pretty well written. It's entertaining. It has moments of great speculation. It has moments of happiness and sadness. It. Is. Not. The. Saddest. Book. I've. Ever. Read. I'm sorry, but it's not even close. I never even teared up. I understand that I'm supposed to, but I just couldn't. It's worth the read to see what the fuss is about, but don't expect it to change your life.
