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
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...
评分 评分At first, I thought Don was like a mixture of Sheldon and Leonard. He divided every part of his life with clockwork precision, such as to what to eat and when to do the excercises. He lacked the social ability to make friends with others, which led to the f...
评分2012年有朵小花对我说过这句说：“你知不知道，遇见一个合适的人有多难？”当时狮子脾气的我听完，不以为然，觉得遇见一个合适的人，怎么就会那么难？那时，我满腔热血都以为每天遇见的人那么多，总会遇见几个合适的人儿啊。人生，还长着呢。 可是，现在是2016年。我花了4年...

算是文风清新的爱情小品，geek爱上不按常理出牌的女孩。叙事可以更简洁些
评分一个geek因为爱而变回一个凡人其实还是个悲伤的故事
评分Don纽约之行之后的顿悟让人蛮惊讶的，纽约真的这么有魅力吗？不禁想下次去纽约的时候要按照Don和Rosie的路线游历一遍。也同意Don顿悟之后的心态上的改变：固然每个人都有一些与他人格格不入的地方，但最好的方法仍是在心中保留有“this is me”的部分，但外在举止和人际交往中，还是应该合乎“常理”。就像内心摇滚的人未必要外表摇滚，内心nerd的人未必要外表nerd。
评分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。
评分读完了，不愧是 IT 同仁写的小说，充满了共鸣。作者的文笔相当有趣（虽然这种见面说 greetings, 对说 correct，错说 error 的人在现实中肯定是相当讨人厌的）但还是在每一章都道出了不少真谛（又可以称为学术帝的吐槽）。后在亚马逊买了精装版，隔天就到。说好的四到六周发货呢！
