It's a pretty good book...what would you rate it, from 1 to 10...one being the worst and ten being the best.

Oh, yes! Algernon, the mouse. Charlie Gordon the man with the IQ of 68 who undergoes a medical procedure to increase his IQ…. And the teacher that falls in love with him and his newfound intelligence. Wow… that was written in the late 50s and became very popular in the late 60s, after it became a movie with Cliff Robertson toward the end of the decade or so; the movie, “Charly,” was a really, really very touching story that reminds us all of man heroism and determination and the indomitable spirit to overcome obstacles and learn.
Great book! I’m not surprised that it’s still in print. I rate it a 10. I recalled it many years later in college for my other major in therapy and mentioned it and almost the whole class read it before the semester came to an end! Great book.

Check out this site. It is fabulous and will tell you everything you need to know about the story. If you don't read the book, at least watch the movie.
It is funny you asked about it. My boyfriend was trying to remember the name of this movie the other day.

Great book (started as a short story). Haunting and sad. I would give it an 8.

I think it was well written and a little gross.
I would rate it a 6.
