The Watchman is a heart-warming story of a mentally challenged boy. The title of the story is derived from the protagonist's habit of keeping a "watch". The writer has tried to get inside the mind of Adam who has a learning disability. Adam is used to acting in weird ways and the author tries to explain every agony and joy that leads him to act in such funny manners. The story is short and easily completed. It is a sad tale as the protagonist witnesses the disintegration of his family and is unable to do anything about it. The book is for thoughtful and sensitive people. It is not popular fiction and may not turn up in the best seller list. But, if you know someone with the problem then this book will definitely help you understand that person better. I loved the story and especially Adam and was able to feel his pain.
