Book Review: Addition

Grace is a 30-something year old woman living in Australia who has obsessive-compulsive disorder. She is obsessed with counting, numbers, and measuring her world. For about two pages it's fascinating to be in the mind of someone with OCD, but by page 3 my own mind was wandering off to daydream about something more interesting. Every paragraph is filled with numbers and counting, and it gets old pretty fast. I admit, I had to skim through the majority of this book. Things get interesting and more readable about halfway through, when Grace enters therapy, but at this point I was pretty checked out.
