Once it was considered fiction.
Now it is perceived as one of the most human works of recent times, as a novel of piercing psychological power, as a filigree development of the theme of love and responsibility. The changes with Charlie Gordon are happening before our eyes, here and now. The first reports are full of spelling mistakes, it is very difficult for him to express his thoughts, gradually he begins to write correctly and tell the events perfectly. Geniuses and idiots are two sides of the same coin. They have different IQs, different living conditions, but they are similar in one thing - often both are infinitely lonely. And the price for the dream of being smart becomes too high. Charlie has a doppelganger - Algernon the mouse, only Charlie understands the mouse's behavior and the fact that he himself is assigned the same role of a test mouse, no more.
