Charly

So I have a confession to make. My mom was reading that Mormon love story called "Charly" by Jack Weyland and left it lying on the table. Like any curious writer I picked it up with the intention of analyzing the writing style and ended up reading the whole thing. Surprisingly, I think I actually enjoyed the book. Though I will confess that I don't see the whole reason that Charly married Sam in the first place. He was boring and idiotic. And insensitive. And kind of stupid. Why can a guy like that get married when I, being NONE of those things (and extremely humble), am not?
