Incidentally Flowers for Algernon has always been hella boring. The book is too overwrought and the short story's progression is ridiculous. I don't know. It has a sublime plot -- explain it to someone in a sentence and they'll be deeply affected every time -- but just terrible in every other way. Sorry I wrote like 27 words and everyone who likes it wrote five paragraphs. I kinda hate deconstructing books, which makes me not a great fit for this, I'm mostly into reading them, I'm always quite drunk on brandy now.
