• Enlightening Book 02 September, 2008
This is a great book and an easy read. It was written by Kim's (the real rain man) father and discusses Kim's entire life to this point. I was lucky enough to get my book autographed and I feel very privileged. This book would be great for children as well as adults. It certainly changed my thinking of disabled persons.
