Flowers for Algernon is beautifully written yet simply written. A good break communicates complex ideas with complexity; a great book can communicate complex ideas with a straightforward plot and simple prose. Daniel achieves this in spades, blending themes from Frankenstein with elements of Freud and Dostoevsky. It is a book about consciousness, a book about latent trauma in the unconscious, an incisive rebuttal to those who dare violate the rules of the universe. It is a story of misery and of gratitude.
