“Sometimes you just need a smart love story that will make anyone, man or woman, laugh out loud.” —San Francisco Chronicle“Move over, Sheldon Cooper. There’s a new brilliant, socially inept scientist poised to win over a huge audience, and his name is Don Tillman, in The Rosie Project. . . . It’s not surprising that debut novelist Graeme Simsion has a background in science—The Rosie Project, already a success in Australia, seems almost precision engineered to keep readers turning pages. But unlike its unexpectedly lovable hero, this rom-com is bursting with warmth, emotional depth, and intentional humor.” (A–) —Entertainment Weekly“It’s natural to be wary of a novel that’s been the target of such gushy praise. Publishers in at least thirty-eight countries have snapped up the rights to The Rosie Project, which has been touted as a ‘publishing phenomenon,’ an ‘international sensation’ and no less than ‘the feel-good hit of 2013.’ Well, squelch your inner cynic: the hype is justified. Australian Graeme Simsion has written a genuinely funny novel. . . . This is classic rom-com.” —The Washington Post“Simsion’s attention to detail brings to life Don’s wonderful, weird world. Instead of using Don’s Asperger’s syndrome as a fault, or a lead-in to a tragic turn of events, Simsion creates a heartwarming story of an extraordinary man learning to live in an ordinary world, and to love. As Don would say, this book is ‘great fun.’” —USA Today“An utterly winning screwball comedy. . . . If you’re looking for sparkling entertainment along the lines of Where’d You Go, Bernadette and When Harry Met Sally, The Rosie Project is this season’s fix. . . . This charming, warmhearted escapade, which celebrates the havoc—and pleasure—emotions can unleash, offers amusement aplenty. Sharp dialogue, terrific pacing, physical hijinks, slapstick, a couple to root for, and more twists than a pack of Twizzlers—it’s no surprise that The Rosie Project is bound for the big screen. But read it first.” —NPR.org“Filled with humor and plenty of heart, The Rosie Project is a delightful reminder that all of us, no matter how we’re wired, just want to fit in.” —Chicago Tribune"Another great favorite: The Rosie Project, a hilarious novel by Graeme Simsion. It’s truly one of the funniest and most poignant novels I’ve read, and when you’ve finished it, there’s an excellent sequel as well." —Nicholas Kristof, New York Times Newsletter“The Rosie Project opens as strongly as any comic novel I’ve read in a long time. . . . The book roars at high speed to its conclusion. . . . A highfunctioning but emotionally illiterate guy like Don makes a perfect unreliable narrator. . . . Happily, Simsion doesn’t give Don an unbelievable emotional makeover. Our man just learns to live by a more complicated algorithm.” —Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel“One of the year’s most promising and original novelists.” —The Wall Street Journal“Funny, touching, and hard to put down, The Rosie Project is certain to entertain even as readers delve into deep themes. For a book about a logic-based quest for love, it has a lot of heart. . . . [an] immensely enjoyable novel.” —Booklist (starred review) Graeme Simsion is a former IT consultant and the author of two nonfiction books on database design who decided, at the age of fifty, to turn his hand to fiction. His first novel, The Rosie Project, was published in 2013 and translation rights have been sold in over thirty-five languages. Graeme lives in Australia with his wife, Anne, and their two children.
The international bestselling romantic comedy “bursting with warmth, emotional depth, and…humor,” (Entertainment Weekly) featuring the oddly charming, socially challenged genetics professor, Don, as he seeks true love.
The art of love is never a science: Meet Don Tillman, a brilliant yet socially inept professor of genetics, who’s decided it’s time he found a wife. In the orderly, evidence-based manner with which Don approaches all things, he designs the Wife Project to find his perfect partner: a sixteen-page, scientifically valid survey to filter out the drinkers, the smokers, the late arrivers.
Rosie Jarman possesses all these qualities. Don easily disqualifies her as a candidate for The Wife Project (even if she is “quite intelligent for a barmaid”). But Don is intrigued by Rosie’s own quest to identify her biological father. When an unlikely relationship develops as they collaborate on The Father Project, Don is forced to confront the spontaneous whirlwind that is Rosie―and the realization that, despite your best scientific efforts, you don’t find love, it finds you.
Arrestingly endearing and entirely unconventional, Graeme Simsion’s distinctive debut “navigates the choppy waters of adult relationships, both romantic and platonic, with a fresh take (USA TODAY). “Filled with humor and plenty of heart, The Rosie Project is a delightful reminder that all of us, no matter how we’re wired, just want to fit in” (Chicago Tribune).
A book club book! I purchased this book off Amazon.com for a local Mother’s Center book club I am in and I am so glad I did! The Rosie Project is about a Don Tillman who is a professor of genetics at a college, who decides he is done with dating and he wants to find a wife. he has a “quirky” personality and was never diagnosed with it but his friends, Claudia and Gene are pretty sure he has very high functioning form of Aspergers. He schedules his day down to the minute including how long dinner should take and his showers. When he decides to find a wife he comes up with this 30 page survey for women to fill out so it will weed out the ones that aren’t perfect for him therefore he doesn’t have to go on dates that will “waste his valuable time.” During this project he meets Rosie, who he mistaken as one of the ladies who was taking the survey. After one date, Rosie tells him that her mother slept with another man and the man that has raised her is not actually her father. That leads to a joint project called The Father Project that Rosie and Don meet up to find who her real father is and the relationship goes from there.I loved this book and I am going to give it 5 stars! It is categorized as a romantic comedy book and it was just that. It wasn’t a super sappy romantic read which I think I really enjoyed. The situations that Don got himself into were just so funny and I laughed out loud many times throughout the novel.The writer did an awesome job with character development which can kill the book or make the book. It wasn’t draggy, you found out who each character was and how they fit into the story and each one was memorable. My biggest complaint with books is when they mention a character and then later on mention them again and I have to flip back to figure out who the author is talking about and I did not have to do that with this book.Even though there is a second book in this series it wraps the story up in the first so you really don’t have to read the second if you do not want to. The second book just goes into what happens next in their lives. I will be reading it soon, so keep a look out for “The Rosie Effect” review in the next month or two.In conclusion, if you love situational comedy in your books and a little bit of a love story this novel is for you!Incredible love story worth the read I’ve had this book sitting on my kindle shelf for 4 years, it must have been recommended to me or free on amazon and I downloaded it, read a chapter and got bored. But last night, after seeing this book pop up on multiple occasions I decided to read it and I cannot believe I wasted 4 years not reading this book! I haven’t cried at a love story in a while but I was in tears more than one occasion with this book. I just only wish they had described his intimacy with Rosie in greater detail but I guess that may see irrelevant to most. Honestly this was a fantastic book and easily a favorite of mine as I would 100% read it again. I cannot wait till 2019 when the movie comes out. I highly recommend this book even to those who aren’t a fan of romance novels, this is in no way a conventional romance novel so trust me you’ll love it!Deceptively Complex RomCom: A Delight I loved the "The Rosie Project" – at least, right up to the very end. I was captivated by Don’s view of his world and his nearly-astute, yet unknowingly skewed, interpretations of his interactions with others. I’ve known and loved people like Don and was rooting for him from the first. I so enjoyed how Don compartmentalized and tracked every aspect of his life with neat little packets: The Standardized Meal System, The Wife Project, and The Rosie Project. All through the first part of the book, I found myself laughing out loud; not laughing at Don, but enjoying him, amused by his views on life and his obliviousness to his many social errors. The conceit Simsion used to bring Rosie into Don’s life was also fun, interesting, and informative. But I thought Simsion flung us into his ending without first having laid sufficient ground-work for the reader to be with Don in his “Aha!” moment. Instead of delighting that Don had figured out how all the pieces of the puzzle fit together, I was left trying to figure out what the heck just happened: what did it mean? what were the clues I missed along the way? I was disappointed in the jarring ending to such an engaging book. [Because I was our discussion leader for "The Rosie Project," I felt compelled to do the research to fully grasp the implications of the ending and how it explained the several perplexing episodes in the book. Once I had put it all together (The Affair to Hide, The Basement Disclosure, The Wavering Stepfather, The Knock-Down Punch, Keeping Promises), I came to admire the skill with which Simsioin had woven all these threads. He had carefully constructed his humor so we were rolling on the floor laughing – never at Don, but always cheering him on. Hiding within the pages of this comedic romance was a plethera of information about many of the issues facing people with Asperger Syndrome. And, yes, I even found the delight in Don’s solving of the jigsaw puzzle. It just took me far too much work to get to that full understanding. Then again, completing my research might have gone whole lot quicker if I hadn’t had to keep rereading the marvelously hilarious scenes I kept stumbling upon in my search for answers. Now, what the heck was it I came to this chapter to find?… I highly, highly recommend this book.]
