This really reminded me of the first part Flowers for Algernon. The main character undergoes a treatment which improves is intelligence and the story is narrated via a series of diary entries which become successively more fluent and sophisticated.

Had me in tears by the end. One of my favorite books. So glad a friend recommended it to me.
I read it decades ago, and from time to time I mention it to someone who has not read it and I end up telling them the story.. and I'm usually tearing up before getting to the end. Such a moving piece.
Next time think of it as a story of a nice guy, who turns into a jerk, and at the end he's a nice guy again.
We had to read it in middle school and man did it have me in tears at the end.
Good book, but the film is underwhelming. Saw it fairly recently for the first time.
