    thumsup's book review was featured in Flowers for Algernon.
    Flowers for Algernon is one of those books that stands the test of time. Even though it was published in 1966, many of the concepts found within the story still apply today, and it really makes you think about how progressive the book is. The story centers around a retarded man named Charlie Gordon. Living in a world where retardation is often looked down upon, Charlie struggles to make friends and fit in with the rest of society, until one day, when he is presented with the opportunity to undergo a life changing operation to gain intelligence. Flowers for Algernon contains many themes based on psychology, ethics, religion, and identity, which are all woven into an intriguing and memorable story. If anyone chooses to read this book, I suggest picking up the uncensored version. Although it has mature themes, I feel like this book should be read to the fullest in order to not miss out on anything. Have a good day.

    Lol, the thief must have been really bad at his job if he steals something really valuable just to throw it out.
