This book is about Charlie Gordon, who is retarded. His teacher at school recommends him for an experiment that is supposed to make him smarter. The book is written in progress reports, and it is obvious as he gets the operations that he is getting a lot smarter. He works at a bakery, but as he gets smarter people start to dislike him, and he gets fired. When he becomes smarter than the professors and doctors doing the operations, he realizes that Algernon, the mouse they also do operations to, is getting sicker and sicker, and Charlie fears he will too. This book has so many aspects to talk about and think about, and that is why I would definitely recommend it for another book group!
