Anne Rigg: Flowers for Algernon, Daniel Keyes (1989, Heinemann Educational) 5 stars

Review of 'Flowers for Algernon, Daniel Keyes' on 'Goodreads'

5 stars

5/5

'For God knows that when you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.'

'The men of the cave would say of him that up he went and down he came without his eyes...'

It would be easy to liken this book to some play on The Fall of Man or Plato's cave but it would be inappropriate, ironically. I think it's best to take this one simply.
