After the tremendous acclaim "Flower's for Algernon" received, Keyes expanded the story into a novel. Do you think there needs to be more to the story? Do you prefer having the story end without showing you the rest of Charlie's deterioration or do you want to read on?Thursday, May 6, 2010

I think they should have more story of Charlie's life after the procedure and things like that. I wanted to know more about Charlie after. I would like to read on and see what would happen.

ReplyDeleteTowards the end of the book, I found myself desperate in search of a happy ending. It wasn't satisfying to just have him deteriorate, it felt like something more needed to happen. But that's the beauty of some books, stories and even movies: There's no Disney ending. This is better in some scenarios because you can relate to the story a little more. Does everything turn out the way it's supposed to be in real life? No. So sometimes it's a bit depressing to watch these movies that all have unrealistic plots.
