It is showing how the mentally handicapped are treated in society, and giving a brilliant insight into how the mentally handicapped themselves view their situation.
It uses the premise of a surgery that triples intelligence to show this. A young man, Charlie Gordon, keeps a journal of his progress before and after the surgery.
Thus the whole book is allegedly just his journal, and the first chapters have words spelled wrong and grammatical and conceptual errors. As his intelligence grows, the writings get progressively better, and he writes of his re-evaluation of how he perceived those who he thought were friends, but were not.
It is a brilliantly beautiful book, well worth reading.
