Book review (draft 2)

Recently, I read a book called “Rain Man”. Charley is a hustler. He has his own business but the company is terrible and he has not got enough money to pay bills. He finds that a father, who threw him out when he was a teenager, has died. He's left him an antique convertible and something more important: A completely unknown brother, Raymond. Raymond is autistic, but he is able to calculate mathematical problems in his head with great speed and accuracy. Their father has left his most of possessions to Raymond, who doesn't even understand what money is for. Charley is enraged by what has happened and by his father keeping Raymond's existence from him for his entire life. He kidnaps Raymond from his residential home. When they had been on their trip, Charley found that Raymond was his secret friend when he was young. Charley called him “Rain Man”. The old memory emerged in his mind. He really has this older brother. The long trip helped them to understand each other.
