Flowers for Algernon

A book written by Daniel Keyes about a man thats mentally retarted and gets this operation that makes him smart. He has a pet mouse named Algernon that has had the same operation prior to his. A lot of the words are misspelled.

Man, our teacher is making us read a book for a book report, and I chose Flowers for Algernon. It's a great book.
