This review can also be found at Carole's Random Life in Books.I liked this one. This book was a bit different from what I would normally pick up. I heard a few good things about it so I took a closer look once I noticed that it was available to borrow from Amazon through Prime Reading. I loved the ...

When I started this book I was wondering if I would finish it after description, after description of Dragnet's color episodes and the weather. Then the book started getting a little more interesting, and then a little more, until I was fully invested to find out what happened to Edward. I was afrai...

There is not much that I can say about this book. I have read and adored the first two "Edward" books: 600 Hours of Edward and Edward Adrift and to be honest I didn't think they could be bettered. How wrong I was! Edward Unspooled in just sublime: I laughed, I cried and I adored every word. I a...

This could have been a very difficult book to read. It's written first person, with a protagonist with Asperger's, OCD - high functioning but with some fairly severe social issues. His wealthy politician father has bought him a house to live in, and for the past 8 years that's what he's done, lived ...

As per usual, I’m sat here contemplating my review. I’m agog at how fortuitous it is that I came to read this book. I’m considering whether any of the characters were flamboyant, austere, tenacious, ostentatious, apoplectic, or exceptional. Through this book, I have discovered that I love the words ...

I love Craig Lancaster's books and while this one took a little getting into, it didn't disappoint. One of the strengths of this author's writing is his ability to build complete characters and this book has a lot of characters, each chapter being given over to a character's perspective. It took abo...

I really liked this story although it took me a while to get into into it. Since the setting takes place in a small town in Montana, population of almost 700, there were a lot of characters for the author to introduce. Not all 700, just the important ones. Duh! After I finally figured out who was wh...

Second book about Edward, a 42 y o with Asperger's, and his life after losing his job and going on a road trip to see his old neighbors. The book is very well done and compells the reader to care about the main character deeply while learning to understand how he thinks. Read through Kindle/audibl...

An endearing story of the struggles of a Montana man struggling with severe obsessive compulsive disorder. This first person narrative from his perspective is told in a repetitive manner than brings across the nature of his daily existence well. A very interesting take on living with a mental illnes...

It's so cool to read about my town. Billings, Montana, is not exactly the center of the literary universe, after all. 600 Hours of Edward is a great novel about a man challenged with OCD and Asberger's. I've read this one and the sequel novel, Edward Adrift, and enjoyed both of them. The author, Cra...
