A heartbreakingly beautiful look at intelligence, happiness, and the idea of “improving” people. Heartbreaking not only because of what happens to Charlie, but because (aside from his surgery) the world that he lived in was a commonplace one at a time in living memory.

Simply an amazing book and truly makes you see everything from the character's perspective. I was very moved by it.

This book is only just about every top list of science fiction I've come across, and with good reason. Charlie journey thoughout the book is presented in a memorable way that sticks with you for how personal it is by making this story Charlies journal.

An incredible and touching book. Charlie Gordon is a character that you won't forget.

Kehitysvammainen Charlie operoidaan neroksi, mutta eihän se niin yksinkertaista ole. Scifi-klassikko, eikä suotta.

One the most depressing stories I've ever read.
I couldn't help but to relate with Charlie from time to time, and I find it somehow strange!

The journey of Charlie Gordon through some intellectual upheaval was portrayed very well.

I haven't read this since high school. Still disturbing and moving at the same time.
