There are cars, mobile phones and even televisions the size of a small clock. The story takes place in the 20th century. He reminds a whole telephone book after reading it and can count over 200 toothpicks in less than a second. Raymond is autistic and lives in Wallbrook, where they take care of him. The last main character is Raymond Babbit, Charlie’s older brother.

She’s a small Italian girl with big black eyes and long brown hair.

Another character is Susanna Palmieri, the girlfriend of Charlie. He first buys cars and than sells them with profit. He’s a egoistic business man with his own company: Babbit Collectibles.

One of the main characters is the 26 year old Charlie Babbit. Charlie remembers that when Raymond tells him later in the book. As a baby Charlie couldn’t say Raymond, but when he tried it sounded like Rain Man. The title of the book, Rain Man, was chosen because that was how Charlie Babbit called his brother Raymond when he was a baby. He promises to visit Raymond every week at Wallbrook. He’s going to talk with 2 doctors from Wallbrook, and finally comes to senses by thinking Wallbrook is the best place for Raymond to live. But after hanging out a while with Raymond he’s starting to care more about his brother than he cares about the money. Charlie always thought that real-life was the best cure for Raymond. That’s why Charlie takes Raymond to the casino, where they win 90 thousand dollars. Raymond is also very good in things like calculating and remembering things. Raymond does everything in the same way each day, watch the same TV programs, eat the same things and freaks out when it doesn’t go like normal. Raymond was send to an institution because he almost burned Charlie as a baby. Charlie feels short about the money so he kidnaps Raymond, because he didn’t know what a man in his situation could do with 3 million dollars. It seems that that man is Raymond, his autistic brother. When Charlie is looking for that man, he ends up in an institution. His father left his whole estate to a man Charlie didn’t know. His father was a very rich man, so Charlie was really disappointed when he heard he only gets his fathers car. When Charlie’s father dies, he talks to his dads lawyer about the will.

They never knew of the existence of each other. One voluntarily and one was forced to leave home. Charlie Babbit and Raymond Babbit both left home when they were young.
