⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

A story of a lab mouse and a mentally disabled boy. Both undergo a brain surgery to increase IQ and become a genius, albeit briefly. What an emotional roller coaster about love, friendship, and what really matters in life! From a series of progress reports written by the boy, you’ll learn the transformation and also feel it evidenced in his writing ability. The ending “P.S. please if you get a chanse put some flowrs on Algernons grave in the bak yard.” brought me to tears. A true classic!
