This is one of the many lines that made me laugh in this week's read, The Rosie Project. This blogger includes outside research to work as a compliment to her book reviews, expanding the view outside of just one source of input.“Feel! Feel, feel, feel! Feelings were disrupting my sense of well-being.” Guest review contributed by The Bibliofile. It’s an easy and enjoyable book, so I’d definitely recommend giving it a shot. I think most people could find something to like about it, but the lovers of logic out there would especially appreciate it. This book is definitely not your typical “chick lit”-type book, but it’s lighthearted enough that it still makes for a good beach-slash-casual read. In all, it has a lot of heart and is very funny the humor is dead-pan and a little sardonic, but very present. It’s a romance and a book about accepting and embracing yourself and about two people coming together - with a pinch of mystery and adventure as Rosie and Don sleuth to figure out who Rosie’s father is. The Rosie Project is unabashedly a love story, through and through, so you know pretty much from the onset where it’s going to end up, but listening in to the thought processes of our protagonist is genuinely funny and revealing, especially if you know people with Aspergers or who are just logical to a fault. It, along with its sequel, The Rosie Effect, comes highly recommended from Bill Gates’ blog, which is what piqued my interest to begin with. I finished this a while ago but hadn’t gotten around to reviewing it until now. Of course, the two projects end up coming together and what results is a delightful love story.
But instead, he gets sidetracked by a woman named Rosie and her search for her biological father (the “Rosie Project”). Professor Don Tillman is a geneticist with Asperger’s Syndrome who embarks on a project to find a “suitable mate” (the “Wife Project”).
The Rosie Project by Graeme Simsion is a lighthearted, funny, and highly enjoyable love story for all the nerds out there.
