What Members Thought
Very good read. Very thought provoking concept. Came at an interesting point in my own mental development, it has helped me look at my own mental environment from a different perspective. What happens when you become smarter and start looking at your life with new perspective but are emotionally still in adolescence?
Um clássico da FC que se lê com interesse já que continua a despertar reflexões muito relevantes sobre a inteligência racional (a do QI) e a inteligência emocional (conceito que não existia nos anos 60 mas que é já amplamente abordado neste livro). Em última análise, a história de Charlie leva-nos a questionar sobre a essência que faz de nós quem somos. É aquele tipo de narrativa que permanece connosco muito depois de se ler, sendo muito fácil ignorar que se trata de um texto datado. Recomendo.
Life’s but a walking shadow, a poor player
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage
And then is heard no more: it is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.

Absolutely wonderful book. I read Camus' "The Plague" and Keyes' "Flowers for Algernon" back to back. If both authors are trying to convey complexities of human existence, thought, and emotions, Keyes does it far better than Camus. You wont go wrong investing your time in this book.
