Slávny príbeh o Charliem a jeho myške Algernon sa vracia v slovenskom preklade a ja mám z toho nesmiernu radosť! :-) Priznám sa, nebolo mi ľahké na túto knihu napísať recenziu, nakoľko moje intenzívne pocity z príbehu po prečítaní sa ťažko pretavujú do slov... Emócie sa v knihe menia v celom rozsahu od radosti až po smútok. Kniha ponúka zážitok, ktorý sa hlboko vryje do pamäti. Naozaj to, ako sa na nás ostatní pozerajú, či ako sa správame ku ostatným závisí iba od jediného čísla? Charlie a Algernon riešenie tejto otázky dostali, akú odpoveď nájdete vy?

I am ruined.
This is exactly that kind of emotional disaster I needed.. (Or did I? )

This book is about a retarded middle-aged guy named Charlie. He lives a very happy life with his IQ at 68 points. One day he was proposed to undergo a brain surgery to increase his intelligence. The surgery was a big success and he became a genius.
But with great intelligence comes great reaponsibility and he was not prepared for this.
Now he realises that world is not what he thought it was and people are not so great and kind.
His best (and only) friend is Algernon, a white lab mouse which had the same surgery and together they are trying to prove, that they are more than just bare experiments.

This book is written in form of Charlies diary from some months before the surgery, till...
You know what? Read it! You wont regret it, trust me. *me while crying*
