The Rain man book had impressed me greatly. I have to say, I haven't yet watched the movie of the same name but after reading the book I wished to do so. I like books about about people with autism very much. Their world is totally different. They are not able to make many things that are easy for normal people. For example, the autists never smile and never tell lies. They have no gains and no wishes. At the same time their mind can demosntrate the wonders of subitizing and memorizing. The book is about Raymond Babbitt, a forty years old autistic savant who peacefully spends his totally similar days in the mental hospital. Everything changes when his brother Charlie Babbitt, a wheeler-dealer finds him. Charlie is going to use his sick brother in order to settle his own affairs; but trying to do so he doesn't notice when he starts to get attached to Raymond. Then Charlie tries to return Raymond back to a normal life. It happends also because Charlie is feeling extremely lonely. He has been trying to be strong for too long. This is a really good, motivational book. It doesn't leave a bitter aftertaste. You wouldn't want to part with its heroes. Of course, such a book makes you think. When I finished reading the book it made me reason about its subject for a couple of days. Now I want to watch the movie starring Tom Cruise and Dustin Hoffman. The Rain Man book will be compulsive reading for the interested general reader, especially for those with psychology backgrounds.
