It's not a full 5stars (4 for sure) BUT I think about it all the time. This was my first Shirley Jackson read and she's queen of the unreliable narrator and I still shiver at the hand holding portion of the book. If I ever read a campfire story that portion would “Shirley” be it!

A mentally disabled man never stops searching for knowledge and an experiment may just be his answer. This book is very emotional. The text in this book is thoughtfully crafted and really pulls you into the character and his progress through his quest for intelligence.

A bit too long and it made me so mad. I should have took a break after reading "Enshittification" by Cory Doctorow because reading them back to back really drove the point home of degrading companies and services and their shady practices.
