This novel was absolutely delightful! I have just fallen in love with Edward Stanton; he is so witty and amusing. His view on human nature and our inherent idiosyncrasies are hysterical. I especially loved his exquisite vocabulary!
Perhaps the reviewers who found this literary marvel boring or repetitious are unfamiliar with the rigors of autism and the limitations of those with Asperger's Syndrome in particular; their inflexible adherence to hourly routine is part of what characterizes the condition. I thought the work was brilliant and very well-thought-out. Craig Lancaster deftly portrays Edward’s eccentricities with affection and it is evident that he too, loves his character.
I predict, (“though I don’t like prediction, I like fact”), that this author will have an auspicious (“I love that word”) career ahead of him, and I am absolutely “flummoxed” by the cynics. I will conclude my entry by mentioning that I can’t wait to read the next novel with Edward Stanton, “and my data is complete”.

*As an aside, there is some language in this novel, but it is used for comic relief.
