After hearing so many positive talk/reviews and enthusiasm about The Rosie Project, and then seeing Graham Simsion at the MWF, I was eager to read it. And I so desperately wanted to experience the quirkiness, joy and laughter that everyone else experienced. But unfortunately it didn’t go my way.
I feel uncomfortable writing a negative review about this book. And to be honest, I was going to give it a miss. But it seems as though my friends are really interested in why it didn’t work for me....so ...more

A light hearted and funny read, written in the style of how someone with Asperger's might think. Don, a genetic professor , has a life driven by routine and measurement but aims to find a wife. He embarks on The Wife Project and develops a hilarious checklist of criteria for any prospective partners. He meets Rosie and then the fun begins. A good read.
