    Les Misérables has long been recognized as one of the finest novels of all time, a brilliant fusion of unforgettable characters and universal themes.

    Its hero is Jean Valjean, the noble peasant imprisoned. A sweeping story of love and honor in the depths of the Parisian underworld, immerses us in an epic struggle between good and evil, and carries us onto the barricades during the uprising of 1832 with a realism that is unsurpassed in modern literature.

    No, haven't heard him before, but LOVE his performance.

    No. It's long and involved.

    A 39-year-old with Asperger’s syndrome and obsessive-compulsive disorder, Edward Stanton lives alone on a rigid schedule in the Montana town where he grew up. His carefully constructed routine includes tracking his most common waking time (7:38 a.m.), refusing to start his therapy sessions even a minute before the appointed hour (10:00 a.m.), and watching one episode of the 1960s cop show Dragnet each night (10:00 p.m.). But when a single mother and her nine-year-old son move in across the street, Edward’s timetable comes undone....

    What did you like best about 600 Hours of Edward? What did you like least?

    Insight into how people on Autism Spectrum think


    Would you recommend 600 Hours of Edward to your friends? Why or why not?

    If interested in Autism Spectrum

    Maybe


    Any additional comments?

    (Spoiler Alert) Ending was not believable. Edward's father dies, then suddenly Edward can try new things a break his rigid rituals.
