Delightful, smart, easy, thoughtful. Just the recipe for a fine book. Maybe a bit predictable, but it didn't take away from the joy of the narrative. Don Tillman is a brilliant, autistic professor who has a plan. A long, often insulting, questionnaire to pose to potential wife-material. In the process he meets Rosie, whose response to his questionnaire is a total deal breaker. Funny and heartbreaking at the same time, we get to know Don and his evolution. Great read!

I LOVED this book. I would probably even re-read it. I loved Don, with whom I have some scary commonalities. Rosie was also someone I could identify with. Really, there were not any characters I didn't like, even Gene, except Stefan. He was a dick and I'm glad he was not in it much.

I highly recommend this book to one and all.

Light and funny. Autistic man creates a questionnaire to find a compatible wife. She has her own project--finding her biological father. Chaos ensues. Some of the writing is wonderful. The plot unfolds in a fairly predictable way. Still, very enjoyable.

I thought this was a sweet, charming, and fun story. It's a story about a geneticist and his Wife Project to find the perfect partner. He also befriends a bartender and helps find her biological father. He is very much on the spectrum and that leads him into some funny scrapes. Easily one of best books that I have read this year. ...more
