Flowers for Algernon (Daniel Keyes)

The dynamic main character is immediately easy ti sympathize with.  Charlie's traumatic life coaster takes a fascinating turn and captivates the audience into wishing nothing but success for him.

Eventually, his sweet innocence is morphed into something and someone unrecognizable.  To say anything about the ending would give it away, so I'll leave that topic untouched.

If you are interested in the dramatic capabilities of character development, pick this up immediately.
