A very unique reading experience – following the progression of the changes in the main character\u2019s intelligence. At first it felt like a bit of a gimmick, but finally I could understand why the writer did it as it brought forth a lot of emotion as we could start to predict the curve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This book contains a lot of thoughts on intelligence and its role in personality and what makes a person. The way the story progresses allows the reader to make their own judgements rather than listening to someone preaching an idea. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I did feel like the book was a little dated, and there is a sort of odd preoccupation with sex that was eventually resolved in a weird way. But I can imagine that in its time the book was pretty groundbreaking. But I\u2019m glad I read this (literally) thought-provoking book.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
