Edward Stanton is a man hurtling headlong toward middle age. His mental illness has led him to be sequestered in his small house in a small city, where he keeps his distance from the outside world and the parents from whom he is largely estranged. For the most part, Edward sticks to things he can count on...and things he can count. But over the course of 25 days (or 600 hours, as Edward prefers to look at it) several events puncture the walls Edward has built around himself.

I've had a run of very good books lately, and Craig Lancaster's 600 HOURS OF EDWARD is another winner. Its narrator-protagonist, 39 year-old Edward, admits to being "developmentally disabled," but not stupid. He knows he has Asperger's and OCD, and he sees a therapist weekly. Estranged from his millionaire father, he lives in a very small house on the opposite side of town from his parents, in Billings, Montana. ....The house was bought for him by his father, who also pays all of Edward's bills. Edward's rigidly structured days begin to be disturbed when a young single mom and her 11 year-old son move in across the street. But enough. The book already has a few thousand reviews, so why tell it all again. Edward is a fine and very likeable character, and Lancaster is a wonderful writer. And there are two sequels. Oh boy! My very highest recommendation.

Another great book by Craig Lancaster. This author does a great job of letting us "see" into the mind of a person with Asperger Syndrome. I laughed and cried and really didn't want the book to end. I highly recommend this book. I will be reading the next book which is a follow up very soon! ( )

Listened to this one in the car. Really enjoyed it. Edward developed nicely as a character throughout the story. ( )

I enjoyed this book, however, I expected it to funnier.
I had no laugh out loud moments but did have a smile.
If I had read it before the Rosie project I might of enjoyed it more. ( )

A well told story of a man with Asperger's Syndrome. The condition is presented in a way that is both enlightening and sympathetic. You will find yourself rooting for Edward and being impressed with his ability to understand and manage his situation. ( )
