Exciting,great story between the money and borther's

The story has many exciting events, when his father died and when he met his brother and how he like his strange brother. x
Charlie Babbit is a rich man who hated his father , and he had a business problem, so he wanted to use his father's money after his father died and then he found out that he had a brother who is autistic and got all of his father's money . We enjoyed reading this story because it's a human interest story but we think that if the two brothers stayed together at the end, it would be better.
Rainman is a wonferful movie which I ever watched. But now when I read the book. I find another world.Self-centred Charlie wants to get all the money. He does not want to share the money with his brother.But when he gets along with his brother,and in the end, he shares the money with his brother.In my opinion, this story tells us family is more important than any other things.It's truly a good story.
This is very famous story.
I've watched the movie once. And I couldn' forget the impressive story, so I wanted to read the book.
This story will make you realize the importance of famiry again.
And, I want you to read this story's ending,
It's a bit sad ,and emotional ending.
I do recommend this book. And the actors's acting was really good, so I 'd like you to watch the movie, too.
I was excited by this story. Charlie Babbitt thinks he will get a lot of money when his father died. But he can't. The money goes to his brother who he never knew.

It was perfect.
Last words
(Click to show. Warning: May contain spoilers.)The two of them had been on the road together only a week, but even in that very short time Raymond had obviously been very good for Charlie.
