Book Review by Martin Halliman

I read Rain Man by Leonake Fleisocher. It is the book of the 1988 film which starred Dustin Hoffman and Tom Cruise.

It is thirty nine pages long and has thirteen pictures. I liked the pictures because I like pictures that show you about autism.

The story is about two brothers Charlie and Raymond. Raymond is autistic and has to do everything the same way every day. Or he gets upset he lives in a Home because he can’t look after himself.

But when their fathers, dies all his money is left to Raymond. Charlie is unhappy about this. He plans to get the money by getting custody of Raymond. Then he finds out that Raymond is brilliant at counting numbers. They go to Las Vegas hoping to get a lot of money.

The film was good and I think most people would enjoy reading the book. The book came with a cassette which help you recall.
