This summer I read Marcelo in the Real World by Francisco X. Stork. This book is about a young man named Marcelo who has some form of Asperger's Syndrome. While the book certainly focuses on this aspect of Marcelo, somehow Marcelo himself is the star here, and not the fact that he has Asperger's. The novel takes us through Marcelo's summer working at his father's law firm instead of working at the school where he has spent years alongside other students with similar learning disabilities. At the law firm Marcelo meets a beautiful young girl, a spoiled young man, and gets involved in a contraversial case at the law firm. He works through the summer learning more about himself, his father, and the world outside his shelterd experience. I REALLY enjoyed this book!
