It was a short story first. Arguably one of the best short stories ever written. Anyone who hasn't read the short story should track it down. Definitely worth it.
I remember watching "Limitless" for the first time and just thinking it was Algernon for the 21st century. Smilie

A solid story, but not one I'd pay for except hard copy (limited re-read value). The commies in my city put up a giant book depository that costs nothing. It's unreal. Prime real estate, too.

A lot of people rate this book online but I didn't see the big deal. Not bad for $1.99 I guess

I remember reading this in third grade, but I thought it was a short story. I doubt it is 221 pages. There must be a lot of forwards and appendices.

The story is simple and has a lot of impact on a ten year old, but I'm not so sure it is worth reading as an adult. Just my 2c

It was a short story first, then expanded into a full novel. You probably read the short story version in grade-school, as did I.

Not a bad story, but my 7th grade English teacher forced me to read it, and I'm not giving her the satisfaction of going out years later and paying money for it.

The short story is superior.

I just read the short story. It was the perfect pace for me.

I think I tried reading the full novel before, but had a harder time getting through it. I recommend picking the version that works for you. Either way, the story is beautiful and depressing. Loved it.

Quote from avalonowner :
The author, Daniel Keyes Moran, said that "Christianity, keeps monkeys in line" on Lakerstalk 2000ish.

His blind faith in science, preceded his blindness.

Thanks for the misinformation, Daniel Keyes Moron.

Reading this will boost your IQ. Temporarily, however.

This story has become a TV trope, but what you have here is the original or thereabouts.
