The Rosie Project by Graeme Simsion is a story about love, life and lobsters...

Meet Don Tillman.

Don is getting married.

He just doesn't know who to yet.

But he has designed a very detailed questionnaire to help him find the perfect woman.

One thing he already knows, though, is that it's not Rosie.

Absolutely, completely, definitely not.

Telling the story of Rosie and Don, Graeme Simsion's The Rosie Project is an international phenomenon, sold in over thirty countries - and counting.

Don Tillman is a socially challenged genetics professor who's decided the time has come to find a wife. His questionnaire is intended to weed out anyone who's unsuitable. The trouble is, Don has rather high standards and doesn't really do flexible so, despite lots of takers - he looks like Gregory Peck - he's not having much success in identifying The One.

When Rosie Jarman comes to his office, Don assumes it's to apply for the Wife Project - and duly discounts her on the grounds she smokes, drinks, doesn't eat meat, and is incapable of punctuality. However, Rosie has no interest in becoming Mrs Tillman and is actually there to enlist Don's assistance in a professional capacity: to help her find her biological father.

Sometimes, though, you don't find love: love finds you...

Like The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry, The Rosie Project by Graeme Simsion is a truly distinctive debut. With the charm of Mark Haddon's The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time and the romance of David Nicholls' One Day, it's both funny and endearing - and is set to become the feel-good novel of 2013...

读后感

再周密的寻妻计划都属于穷忙加白耽误工夫的那种。所以就很奇怪比尔•盖茨这般智慧的大脑会对绞尽脑汁制定的《罗茜计划》居然深感有趣。不过，好像盖茨同学关注的焦点不在爱情而在人际关系上，看来，精英的确与常人不同。 枉费了朋友吉恩和克劳迪娅夫妇的热心...  

孤独和寂寞不一样，寂寞会发慌，孤独则是饱满的。 说实话，我到现在也没明白，这句话究竟是史铁生说的，还是蒋勋说的。但诚然如此。 这本书的主角——唐，本身就是一名阿斯伯格综合征患者，当然按照他的说法，这不能称为“患者”，而是大脑的“配置”与他人不同。 当然，我本来...

Reading this book has reallly been great fun. It can't be denied that there are certain similarities between Don and Sheldon from the Big Bang Throry. They are both extremely clever but also clusmsy especially on social events. The reason why we find such c...

多次在我以为即将走入大俗套时有一个转折小高潮，还蛮好玩的。"Don is not dead!"也是比无罅隙彻底融入普罗大众更好，虽然结尾部分的交代有点过于密集的"conventional"啦。
