Question: Im trying to recall a book I know the plot, can anyone help me!?
A boy (i believe was mentally handicapped) was being tested by scientists along with a mouse!. The book was not a narrative, but a diary as i recall, and a cool thing about it was that the boy's speech as he is progressing becomes more and more advanced - that is - until the climax when he beats the mouse in a game (then the mouse dies and he cries) then his intelligence goes back down again!.
I really liked the book can anyone help me!?Www@QuestionHome@Com

It sounds like Flowers for Algernon!. Www@QuestionHome@Com

Yes, the book is "Flowers for Algernon!." The main character is chosen to be operated on so the can raise his IQ levels!. At first, the mouse constantly beat him but he continued to advance rapidly knowing more than a normal human does!. Www@QuestionHome@Com
