Flowers for Algernon, Week 1

This week was my first week in the Flowers for Algernon book group. It is a really great book about a man who is mentally retarded. Professors and scientists decide to do a test on him that they think will make him smarter. They are also doing this test on a mouse named Algernon. Charlie does get smarter, and he starts to remember a lot about his childhood, and become a genius. But he still struggles socially. He and the mouse kind of become friends, and this book is about their stories. I have only read one week of it, but I think it is a really great book, and I definitely recommend it to anyone who hasn't read it yet.
