Black Belt Memory Yogger .......2007-03-09

The Black Belt Memory Yogger is a handy pocket guide for people involved with six sigma processes. I like the why use it and what does it do questions. Good quick review of basic statistics and tools.

Handy and Useful, but pricey.......2003-02-21

This book is a concise reference for use by practitioners and those on the shop floor. I use it daily in our one square mile manufacturing complex.
Our people understand the tools with help of the illustrations. The how to use the tools is clear. Sure some may be overwhelmed by the statistical detail; however, the graphs are useful in showing folks what we as a team are working towards.
At only 265 pages, this spiral book is pricey, but that's expected from the millionaires of the Six Sigma Academy. ASQ's entries into this segment pale in comparison. Overall, I use it in any public course offering I teach. Keep it simple!

Daniel Keyes wrote little SF but is highly regarded for one classic, Flowers for Algernon. As a 1959 novella it won a Hugo Award; the 1966 novel-length expansion won a Nebula. The Oscar-winning movie adaptation Charly (1968) also spawned a 1980 Broadway musical.

Following his doctor's instructions, engaging simpleton Charlie Gordon tells his own story in semi-literate "progris riports." He dimly wants to better himself, but with an IQ of 68 can't even beat the laboratory mouse Algernon at maze-solving:

<blockquote>I dint feel bad because I watched Algernon and I lernd how to finish the amaze even if it takes me along time.

I dint know mice were so smart.</blockquote>

Algernon is extra-clever thanks to an experimental brain operation so far tried only on animals. Charlie eagerly volunteers as the first human subject. After frustrating delays and agonies of concentration, the effects begin to show and the reports steadily improve: "Punctuation, is? fun!" But getting smarter brings cruel shocks, as Charlie realizes that his merry "friends" at the bakery where he sweeps the floor have all along been laughing at him, never with him. The IQ rise continues, taking him steadily past the human average to genius level and beyond, until he's as intellectually alone as the old, foolish Charlie ever was--and now painfully aware of it. Then, ominously, the smart mouse Algernon begins to deteriorate...

Flowers for Algernon is a timeless tear-jerker with a terrific emotional impact. --David Langford

Book Description

With more than five million copies sold, Flowers for Algernon is the beloved, classic story of a mentally disabled man whose experimental quest for intelligence mirrors that of Algernon, an extraordinary lab mouse. In poignant diary entries, Charlie tells how a brain operation increases his IQ and changes his life. As the experimental procedure takes effect, Charlie's intelligence expands until it surpasses that of the doctors who engineered his metamorphosis. The experiment seems to be a scientific breakthrough of paramount importance--until Algernon begins his sudden, unexpected deterioration. Will the same happen to Charlie?
An American classic that inspired the award-winning movie Charly.

Great on many levels.......2007-06-03

I really, really like this book, and one of the best things about it is that it's accessible and enjoyable on many levels.

On the most basic, it offers a fascinating premise with memorable characters that behave and change in believeable ways. It's well written -- extremely well written -- in a journal style that eloquently captures the changes the main character undergoes as he gains (and loses) over 100 IQ points. This sort of style is difficult for an author to pull off because not only does the voice have to be believeable, but it has to be evident to the audience what's REALLY going on even when the narrator himself doesn't "get it." Keyes accomplishes this, masterfully, and the result is a riveting read.

That said, I really mainly enjoyed the novel for the themes it struggles with. There's the obvious one, the one about the loneliness that comes from being "abnormal" (in either direction - super smart or super stupid) in our society ... it's a good theme, and very well explored by the novel -- neither tendentious nor overly schmaltzy, and always honest. But it's also a bit of an overused, feel-good theme, and if that were all this novel was about I would like it less than I do.

The book is actually a meditation on knowledge, and an honest, piercing exploration of the dual questions, "Is ignorance bliss?" and, "If so, should we then choose it?" (The book doesn't give easy or clear answers, either, which is one of its great strengths). The obvious instance of this in the character of Charlie himself, as he first chooses to become smarter without ever really understanding what it will mean, then wrestles with the consequences and implications of this choice, and finally he deals with the shattering loss of his intelligence. Some of the most amazing parts of the book are when new knowledge causes great pain: as when, for instance, he realizes that the people he once saw as his friends were making fun of him; or when he returns to his original IQ level but can no longer be as happy as he once was because he now knows what he is missing. The same theme is explored in the scientists themselves: you can't read the book without wondering if their work is moral, if it's really "right" in a deep sense to manipulate IQ this way. And would the answer to that question change if their experiment had worked?

It's just a very good book. The writing is accessible even to young teenagers, but the theme and ideas make it worth anyone's time.

Good book for children, poor choice for adults.......2007-05-26

I recently graduated from college and I wanted to begin reading for pleasure again. This story's plot, and popularity, intrigued me, but I suppose I didn't understand that it's a popular book for grade-school children. The premise is interesting but I had to force myself to continue reading past page 120; the plot's conclusion is obvious and painfully slow. There are many pieces of children's literature that are thought-provoking and meaningful at any age (The Phantom Tollbooth, Alice and Wonderland), but Flowers for Algernon is not one of them.

Better than rhubarb pie.......2007-05-26

I knew the story from watching the play my high school class put on many years ago, but reading it now was like having a piece of my mom's rhubarb pie and discovering it was even better than I remembered it.

The story is told through the journals of Charlie, a mentally retarded man who undergoes surgery that makes him smart--a genius even. A mouse, Algernon, had the surgery before Charlie, and Charlie watches the behavior of the mouse to predict whether his surgery will be a permanent success or an ultimate demise--and a bond is formed between the two.

What is fascinating about this story is how Charlie handles the changes in his life emotionally and relationally. I felt both compassion and frustration for Charlie while also, almost unknowingly, increasing my compassion for humanity in general, specifically for those I might consider less than dignified.

Very Touching Book...A Must Read.......2007-05-08

I was so surprised by this book. Flowers For Algernon was one of the best books I've read this year and I really wasn't expecting it.

It is the story of Charlie Gordon, a man in his thirties with mental retardation. Charlie is the subject of a psychological research project at a university that is examining the effects of a new surgical procedure on mental retardation. Charlie's estranged sister gives the university permission to perform the procedure on Charlie. The procedure proves to be at least a temporary success and Charlie goes from having mental retardation to having an IQ of 185 in a manner of weeks.

The experiment is initially tried on a white mouse named Algernon. Algernon is tested through a complex maze where he is rewarded by food after reaching the end. Charlie races Algernon with a maze of his own and receives a shock if he goes the wrong way. At the beginning of the book, Algernon beats Charlie to the finish line every time. But Charlie soon soars past Algernon and through the process grows close to the mouse.

The book is written in the form of journal entries kept by Charlie for the experiment. At the beginning of the book, words are misspelled, ideas are vague, and relationships are simple. As the book progresses, so does Charlie's thought process and so do his relationships. Charlie learns what true love is as he falls in love with his teacher, Alice. He learns what physical love is as he comes into contact with his artistic and eccentric neighbor, Fay. And he learns the pains of relational love as he relives memories of his family and friends.

What was most touching to me about this book were these flashbacks and moments of recognition. When Charlie was still mentally retarded, he didn't realize when people were laughing at him or making fun of him. He didn't realize that when his mother was crying it was because she was ashamed to have him as a son. But now that he has had this operation he is able to look back on these situations and realize what was going on. You can imagine the pain of this.

Charlie is initially excited about "becoming smart". He's been teased throughout his life for "being a moron" and has been the subject of people's amusement. What Charlie soon finds is that acceptance is a hard thing to come by. Charlie goes straight from mentally retarded to genius. As a genius, he is seen as arrogant and absurd and is once again estranged by his peers.

A True Classic..........2007-03-23

"Ignorance is bliss." In Flowers for Algernon by Daniel Keyes, a man named Charlie Gordon, who is living in New York in 1965, undergoes a medical operation aimed to triple his I.Q. of 68. The procedure is a success, and as a result, Charlie becomes extremely clever. He experiences true love for the first time with a woman named Alice, who used to teach Charlie to read and write before the operation. Along with his new smarts, however, Charlie begins to recall some upsetting memories about his troublesome childhood and he begins to see a darker side of life. Then, the book takes a dramatic turn, and his life changes completely...

I enjoyed reading this book very much because it is well written and so interesting. The story follows a journal-like format, and it is written in Charlie's point of view. This is a great quality of the book because you can observe Charlie's writing skills change as you read. At times this book is a bit slow, because his transformation takes time. There is some mature content in this book and I would recommend it to anyone over the age of 12 who wants to read a true classic.

Wow!!.......2006-03-27

This is an incredible book. It takes you through the harrowing, depressing mind of Billy Milligan. It amazes me so much that it's a true story. I guess sometimes, fact is better than fiction. It's my favorite book - a must-read if you have any interest at all in psychology.

A different read about MPD.......2005-11-03

As with any work of non-fiction, we should allow ourselves to believe as much or as little as we wish to what the author(s) has to reveal in the story. I found this book to be an extraordinary account of the life of a young man living with MPD and the struggles he faced both personally and in society.

Although the crimes Billy committed while under alter peronalities are unexcusable, it's both sad and appalling to know that the justice system in this country can be so cruel.

The conclusion left me wanting to know more of what Billy's life may be like today. Unlike other books about MPD where the so-called victims receive a great deal of therapy to mesh their different personalities into one, this book offers a different end to perhaps becoming whole.

For anyone interested in MPD, this is a great read to add to his/her library.

Really Makes You Think.......2005-08-23

Wow! I just finished reading this book, and I am completely blown away!

"The Minds of Billy Milligan" is about a young man with multiple personality disorder, the crimes a few of his personalities committed, and the mostly horrendous treatment he endured while trying to find help for his mental disability.

One of the crimes committed was that of rape, the other was stealing. Although I must admit that the crime of rape is horrific, it seems as if neither the court, politicians, nor the media cared about the reasons it happened. All that was focused on was punishment, at the expense of trying to help this man get better, and to learn to be a functioning person is society. It is really quite sad!!!

Unfortunately, I think that if the same thing happened today, the results would be similar. We, as a society, are so worried about making sure that everyone receives their just punishment, that we don't stop to see if there is a reason for the disconnect - a reason for why people in our society do these things. Maybe if we would focus our attention on the "whys", and how to provide EFFECTIVE treatment, we would find ourselves in a much better place.

Overall, I found this book to be both sad & thought provoking. I found myself getting angry at the reporters who sought to bring him down every time he was starting to show progress, as well as toward the politicians who used him as a bargaining chip to gain more votes - quite unhonestly, I found this to be disgusting behavior as well!

I would recommend this book to anyone intersted in psychology - specifically multiple personality disorder - it is a real eye opener!

Excellent Book.......2005-04-28

I first read The Minds of Billy Milligan in 11th grade after my english teacher recommended it to me. I read the entire book in one sitting! I could not put it down. It is an amazing portrayal of a man from Ohio who has multiple personalities. It is uniquely written from the different perspectives of each personality, and gives you an intimate look into the life of a very abused and disturbed man. I would like warn parents that the book is quite graphic, and deals with rape and violence quite bluntly. It is definitely NOT for very young readers. I do feel that anyone interested in psychological disorders should check this book out.

What it takes . . . .......2007-03-01

What it takes to write one great book is a lifetime of preparation. It seems that every element of Daniel Keyes' life, up to the writing of Flowers for Algernon, was gearing toward that one great book. Every piece of Charlie's life, and every phrase spoken by his coworkers and the scientists who changed him came from Keyes' experience.

Half of this autobiography is the set-up to his great novel, the one work that would define his life. The other half is the aftermath. Thrust into fame and the machine that profits off other's works, Keyes' found himself tossed to and fro.

A writer wants to write, not to examine contracts and make decisions about rights. A writer wants to create and then to own his creations, not to see what came from his mind as property to be arbitrated. Daniel Keyes' found himself in the fortunate position of creating a work of beauty and then wrestling with ownership of that beauty for many years afterward.

What I loved about this autobiography is the journey which prepared him to write a great novel - showing the work and creativity and effort that goes into an instance of genius. What I also loved was the life's lessons learned that he put down on paper so that another person might have an easier journey.

Secret of "Flowers for Algernon".......2003-05-23

The main charm of "Algernon, Charlie and I" is the revealed episodes behind "Flowers for Algernon", which make you understand (at least partly) why "Flowers's for Algernon", the author's acclaimed novel, is so increadibly compelling and moving.

By reading this book, you will find that the "Flowers for Algernon" is not a product of pure fantasy, but is based on so actual facts, emotions and feelings, that the author had been observing and experiencing himself. Charlie's desire to become smart comes from the author's experience while working with mentally retarded children, who wanted to become smart. Charlie's feeling toward the professor, while becoming smarter than the professor who created him, comes from the author's experience of suddently over-growing his parents, immigrants who did not speak English fluently.

After reading this book, you will realise that it is the author's sensitivity, warmness toward other people and his candidness about his own feeling what make his extraordinary novel so warm and moving. In the end, "Flowers for Algernon" is not about this poor guy who has gone through extraordinary experience, but about all of us.

Read this book, you will leave with a greater appreciation........2002-01-04

Mr. Keyes exposes himself personally in this intimate autobiography. I was captured by his honesty, his sensitivity and his fluid writing style. I felt, as though I was a familiar friend and I gained and enormous appreciation for his dedication in writing "Flowers for Algernon". I look forward to more books by this gifted author. I hear his next will be science fiction / mystery.

In Algernon, Charlie And I: A Writer's Journey, Daniel Keys reveals the life experiences behind his creation of the character Charlie Gordon, a young man whose quest for intelligence and knowledge parallels that of the mouse, Algernon, in his acclaimed novelette "Flowers for Algernon" (which has been optioned and is in production for a CBS made-for-tv movie. Both the novelette version, and the novel that followed, have been widely translated and remain part of many school and college literature course curriculums. Algernon, Charlie And I includes the author's original short novelette version and is a "must" for all Keys fans.

This book is about one retarded guy named Charlie Gordon. Thisbook is very interesting because this book is written as a real diaryof Charlie. Very first part of book... Charlie's grammars and spellings are all wrong. After Charlie gets operation, Charlie is getting smarter and his writing skills are getting better. End of this book, Charlie is turn into retarded man again. This book shows Charlie's efforts to get smarter, Charlie's lonesome life, and his emotional changes. I felt sorry about Charlie when I read last part of the book. This book is extraordinary and very cool.

Flowers for Algernon book review.......2006-03-14

Flowers for Algernon is a great story written by Daniel Keyes about a mentally retarded man, Charlie, who is selected to try an operation to help him learn a lot. As the story continues on, Charlie learns not only facts, but also new emotions that he has never experienced.
This book has a really powerful message in it about intelligence. It says that the importance of life is not measured by how smart you are, but by your relationships and how you treat others. If only people in the real world could understand that; that being the best isn't everything. That just being who you are and being the best you can be, makes all the difference in the world.
I really liked this book, however I have to admit that I had a hard time when I first started reading. When you read the first sentence, you become annoyed, because there are all these spelling mistakes, and there is no punctuation: "I tryed hard but I still couldnt find the picturs I only saw the ink. I tolled Burt mabey I need new glassis,"(page 3). At first I was so annoyed with this, but then as I read on, I realized that not only does it help the reader understand the level of comprehension of a mentally retarded adult, but it also gave me a new respect for those who use their time to help teach others who are mentally retarded.
This book has another message in it about how you view life; people who have less in the eyes of a `normal' person, really have more than most ever take time to recognize. "What an incredible thing! How much less they had than other human beings. Mentally retarded, deaf, mute - and still eagerly sanding benches"(page 228); even though Charlie has gained intelligence, he is still unaware of the intellectual state that he was once in.
The story of Charlie's experience gave me a new understanding of both really smart people, and those who may have problems with learning. In the middle of the story, Charlie has been to both extremes of intelligence -- mentally retarded and genius; and because he is the only person to have experienced both, no one seems to understand him. This made me feel sad, because I realized that people that are mentally retarded or a genius are often misunderstood and labeled as being abnormal; "It had been all right as long as they could laugh at me and appear clever at my expense, but now they were feeling inferior to the moron,"(page 106).
I would really recommend reading this book. Not only does it contain many of life's lessons, but it also has a great story that anyone can enjoy.

Heart-wrenchingly perfect.......2005-11-03

"Flowers for Algernon" tells the tale of Charly Gordon, a man with an IQ of 68 who works at a research laboratory. The laboratory is working on surgical methods to enhance cognitive abilities and, when the surgery works on Algernon, a mouse in the laboratory whom Charly has befriended, Charly volunteers to become the first human to undergo the surgery. The post-surgery change is slow, but it becomes clear that the procedure worked. What also becomes clear, to Charly, is that his life had not been as good as he had thought it was. And, then, the story takes a heart-wrenching turn, that I will not divulge as a spoiler.

Daniel Keyes did not write much science fiction, and this is the only novel of his I've read, but it's brilliant. The portrayal of Charly's gradually-growing understanding of the world, with the resulting triumphs and heart-breaks, was gripping. The writing was flawless, especially as much of it was in the form of Charly's journal, with it's varying degrees of sophistication. This is not a novel for the light-hearted though, as it is genuine tragedy, done perfectly.

A Masterpiece!!!.......2005-09-02

I read the book for the first time in High School and I have continued to read it at least once a year ever since. I am not normally much of a science fiction fan but this book really makes you think. What if it were true?! Once you get into it, I'd be willing to bet you cannot put it down!

MOVING AND THOUGHT PROVOKING..........2006-12-05

This is a wonderful and highly original novel about a mentally challenged man named Charlie who wanted to be smart. One day, his wish was granted. A group of scientists selected him for an experimental operation that raised his intelligence to genius level. Suddenly, Charlie found himself transformed, and life, as he knew it, changed.

His story is told entirely through Charlie's eyes and perceptions in the form of progress reports. The reader actually sees the change in Charlie take place, as his progress reports become more complex, well written, and filled with the angst of personal discovery and growth, as well as with his gradual awareness of his amazing and accelerated intellectual development.

The progress reports are a wonderful contrivance for facilitating the story, and the reader is one with Charlie on his voyage of self-discovery. What happens to Charlie in the long run is profoundly moving and thought provoking. It is no wonder that this author was the recipient of the Nebula Award which is given by the Science Fiction Writers of America for having written the Best Novel of the Year. This is definitely a book well worth reading.

Febolos (Fabulous).......2006-12-31

Since this novel was written decades ago - I would say that "At First Sight" (starring Val kilmer) is a rip off of this novel. Except that in this novel the main character is mentally retarded instead of blind.

The novel is in the form of a diary written by the main character. As the character's IQ improves and he becomes smarter the diary's contents become profound.

When I read the main story line on the cover - I expected an emotion filled mushy and cheesy novel. Since this novel was given to me as a gift I started reading it anyways. The first few pages did validate my initial impression - but soon enough I realized the novel is anything but mushy and cheesy. Of course it is an emotional roller coaster - but the author has done such an amazing job in narrating the story that you never feel any mushiness. Instead you would relate to the emotions that the main character goes through. Additionally you would also be able to relate to several other characters in the novel.

Simply put this is an awesome cathartic novel - the ups and downs of the mentally challenged main character are just a metaphor to the readers' individual trials and tribulations.

Warning to the weak hearted - do keep a box of tissues handy !

I weep because this book is out of print.......2005-04-08

Recently I began a project investigating the works of Alan Keyes for a project in one of literature classes. Through this project I became interested in 'The Fifth Sally' and decided to order a used copy.

I'll admit I had my hesitations, it had been published once in 1980 and hadn't been published since. Evidently it hadn't even warrented a paperback edition. But after reading the novel, I can only weep that it seems fated to die in obscurity.

Without a doubt, The Fifth Sally was one of the best books I have ever had the fortune to read and it solidified my belief that Daniel Keyes is an excellent author and one of the greats of the twentieth century.

Strictly speaking, this book is not comparable to Keyes' Flowers For Algernon, the novel that he will be remembered by and for good reason, but The Fifth Sally is never-the-less excellent. The tale is of Sally, Bella, Nola, Derry, and Jinx. The interesting thing about these five women is that they all seem to be occupying the same body.

Keyes pays little attention to the controversy over whether Multiple Personality Disorder (MPD) is a real disease and instead writes from the assumption that it is in fact very real. He hints at the controversy from time to time but ultimately that is irrelevent. You see, the tale is written from a first person point of view, Derry tells us the story. When she is in control, it is pure first person and when one of the others is in control, she is little more then an observer.

The style can be described as little more then simply fascinating. It's generally a cardinal rule not to mix multiple viewpoints, especially in a single scene, but Keyes slips between Derry's first person narration (and Derry is a great story teller!) to an impartial recording that you almost forget it is Derry telling that you never feel lost.

The book is riveting, all along we see Sally's more acceptable personalities: Sally the motherly type, Derry the tomboy, Bella the party-goer, and Nola the artist. But all along we know that Jinx, the maniac, is lurking just under the surface and we never know just what Jinx is going to do.

All I can say of this book is this: ordering a used copy of it will be the best thing you ever do. Pay exhorbatent prices (not too exhorbatent lets hope, I paid a modest $15 but it was well worth it) climb over hills, steal from libraries (ok, well maybe not that) Anything - just find a way to get a copy of this book. It is simply fantastic. Whether it is comparable to Keyes's more well known The Minds of Billy Madigan is hard to say, but I know this much: I won't forget Sally or the others for a long time to come.
