So, I finished The Rosie Project and found it a lot of fun. It took me a few chapters to start really enjoying Don's point of view but after that it was easy to read. Don's one-liner's and social ineptitude make for a hilarious story. However, since I'm easily embarrassed in social situations, I'd probably have permanent red cheeks if we ever met in real life. :-)
I'm not a lover of traditional romances, so this was perfect for me .... Hilarious! Don, the main character, a geneticist with some degree of autism, devises a questionnaire to find the perfect wife. With vey unexpected comical results ... The author has constructed really humorous inner dialogue for Don ...
I just finished the book. I liked it better at the beginning. I thought it got a little slow and somewhat predictable later on. I still enjoyed it.
