Title: Do you fear madness, loss of coherence and sanity?
Product review: We all fear madness, loss of our coherence and sanity. At least all of us who are sane fear these things. There, I've hooked you. You've got to read on now, or you're not sane ... Losing the brilliance of youth, of success or of dreams we once held bright in our minds - these common fears also haunt us.The narrator of 'Flowers for Algernon, Charlie, a mentally handicapped man, burns from dim to bright. From candle stub he turns, or is turned, to a nova and then to a guttering candle he returns. And all the while he is aware of his condition.I cried when I first read the book - perhaps because I egotistcally thought I was once as bright as Charlie at his best. In truth I'm dull and average and dimly aware of the brilliance of this book. As is Charlie dimly aware of what he once was when he finally fades from genius to low IQ.Read it. Despair. Be hopeful. Be admiring. As you please. But read it.
