600 Hours of Edward, by Craig Lancaster

600 Hours of Edward



What can I say about this book, except that it was a very quick read. It was a quick read because it was very, very, very repetitive.

Let me back track. This story was about a man named Edward, who has Asperger's. I have read a few books and seen a few movies and shows about Asperger's and I understand that most people with Asperger's live in their own worlds, depend on familiarity and routine, but I felt that Lancaster took the most least imaginative way of portraying this. Every chapter consisted of one day, and every chapter started the same; him waking up, "completing his data", and so on. Not gonna lie, I skimmed probably 70% of this book because it was all the same, and even when it was a little bit different, it didn't change or help the story in any way.

All in all this book was a flop and a waste of time for me. I am glad it only took me one afternoon and half an evening to read, because if it took anymore I don't think I would have made it.
