One of the best books I've ever read! Intense and heartbreaking. It was difficult for me to hold back the tears while reading in public...

Really great. Couple things that detracts from being a master piece: 1st person diary though mostly effective fits too cleanly and unrealistically into a narrative structure; something felt missing in the last act that somehow didn't fully explore the philosophic potential of the set up; why could Charlie not have the procedure again to sustain higher intelligence?
