i remember reading this book years ago! it's a great story.
Reply:You've got to read this book....it is absolutely wonderful. I saw the movie and read the book....very sad. Yes, Charlie is retarded, but seems relatively content with his life until everything changes for him as a result of a scientific experiement. He attends Ms. Kinnian's class because she teaches student's with mental retardation. Through a scientific experiment, Charlie becomes a genius. He falls in love with his teacher and she in turn with him. How it ends is tragic...this is a classic story...you've got to read it for yourself.

I really don't know his IQ because I haven't read the story in a while. Check cliffsnotes.com; there might be something there that can help.
Reply:Charlie is retarded, Miss Kinnian teaches to slow and retared people. She teaches reading and writing. Charlies IQ is not mentioned in the book. But figure it to be about 60-70 because he is functional.
