'Marvellous' John Boyne, author of The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas
'Adorable... A gem of a book' Marian Keyes
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.
多次在我以為即將走入大俗套時有一個轉摺小高潮,還蠻好玩的。"Don is not dead!"也是比無罅隙徹底融入普羅大眾更好,雖然結尾部分的交代有點過於密集的"conventional"啦。
評分一個很可愛的nerd尋找人生所愛的故事,輕鬆一讀~
評分Don紐約之行之後的頓悟讓人蠻驚訝的,紐約真的這麼有魅力嗎?不禁想下次去紐約的時候要按照Don和Rosie的路綫遊曆一遍。也同意Don頓悟之後的心態上的改變:固然每個人都有一些與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,但外在舉止和人際交往中,還是應該閤乎“常理”。就像內心搖滾的人未必要外錶搖滾,內心nerd的人未必要外錶nerd。
評分算是文風清新的愛情小品,geek愛上不按常理齣牌的女孩。敘事可以更簡潔些
評分矮油其實我覺得男主以前的活法恰到好處怎麼破
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...
