Lovely heartfelt review of a wonderful book. I too have shared this book with family members and they have been moved by it as I was.
excellently done,you've put your thoughts with such feels..I must need to get it!
Love this review, and loved that you included your dad's thoughts. I have to add this book now, of course.
Thank you so much for your review and especially for sharing your father's wisdom as well. He sounds like a wonderful man. Thanks for sharing your gift. i have never read this, but now i will!

What a great review! Flowers for Algernon has been on my tbr list the longest, I'm so ashamed that it's still waiting for me to pick it up. 😔

This made me pause and think. “Intelligence may be a gift, but it still has the price which we have to pay”. How true this is. Thank you!

Beautiful review, Adina! And isn't it lovely that you gifted it to your father and he shared his thoughts with you! I'm aware of this book but haven't read, so I will look for a copy asap!
I have no idea whether the 1968 movie adheres to the original story but, fyi, https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charly

great job reading it in the plane, you understood only the style of writing and the idea that there was an experiment and a man got smart, great job, amazing. In a short sentence, you failed and got even the time to write this review. Feel free to read my review and get some deep ideas.
Reading fast a book of this calibre is the same as not reading it.
Extraordinary, heartbreaking and powerful indeed. Glad you and your father loved it <3. Great review Adina!

Just recently started sharing books with my daughter, since she has a bit more free time for reading. Three kids put a stranglehold on her efforts previously. I've always shared books with my boys, whom are both readers, but our interests aligned more. Fun to be drawn into my daughter's world of interest, and sharing mindful discussions about our findings on different books. Loved your review, and the bonus thoughts from your dad!

I hope to do the same when mine grow older. So far, I did discovered some interesting authors for children. And some bad ones.
That is so nice that you shared it with us. Thank you so much! I'm trying to get my son to read it, he is 15
Just loving your father's additional words as well as your original review Adina, thank you both :)
This book is a classic that I read and loved many years ago. Adina, I love that you shared it with your father, then traded thoughts with each other! Bonding over books... such a lovely father-daughter thing.👨👧
How amazing to have a dad who loves books, too. Good thing, I have our youngest who is a book lover, too, that I can talk book with her sometimes. Your dad sounds amazing, Adina.
