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...
Graeme Simsion is a full-time writer. Previously an IT consultant and educator, he wrote his first book in 1994 (the standard reference on data modelling, now entering its fourth edition), and is married to Anne, a professor of psychiatry who writes erotic fiction. They have two children.
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...
评分本来是打算借这五本书就走的,转身的一瞬间看到了它。 我停下脚步让它离开了书架,罗茜qian计划?不对,罗茜xi计划…… 应该是本言情小说吧,我很久没看这一类小说了,要不试试吧,说不定能给我带来惊喜。 于是看过一遍的基督山伯爵便去了它该去的地方…… 回到寝室后,把该做的...
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...
评分 评分当谢耳朵爱上罗茜 文 by 静流 看到唐的每日晚餐按部就班的安排时,再结合他那理性到刻板的生活,唐的形象便慢慢变成了谢耳朵的样子,那个瘦高的科学怪人,唐和谢耳朵一样对日常生活无能,像谢耳朵一样不知如何与他人相处,就像个冷冰冰的机器,他们的存在只是科学、理性的...
两条主线都处理的不错,只有the father project中间有点沉闷。对Don的geek形象描写得很好玩!
评分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
评分科学怪才呕心沥血搞了一个个project寻找爱情的故事。另外,该主人公和柳比歇夫一样有精确的时间观念,和谢耳朵一样有自己的专属座位。可见,极客自有相通之处。
评分两条主线都处理的不错,只有the father project中间有点沉闷。对Don的geek形象描写得很好玩!
评分越往后共鸣感越强,看完迫不及待的想要hashtag我的博士老公( ̄ー ̄)
