Shelves: classics, sci-fi

A very satisfying 3/5, probably worthy of a 4.

Difficult start to the book, very good all the way through, predictable ending but very satisfying.

Written as progress reports as Charlie Gordon goes from low IQ to very high IQ, then the ending. Well recommend this to anyone, i also read it in 3 days.

Makes me want to go re-read VALIS ...more

This is a deeply moving tale that will change your world view. I enjoyed it's first person personal journal style allowed for a level of insight into the main character in a way I that makes you feel intimate with his experiences and emotional turmoil.

Highly recommended. ...more

I had seen the movie (many years ago) but finally got around to the book. Talk about an emotional ride! All I can say is poor Charlie... I enjoyed this read immensely and will definitely keep it around for a potential reread in the future.
