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.
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...
評分最开始看这个故事的时候,我的第一反应就是,这不就是生活大爆炸里面的谢耳朵吗。 同样是学霸天才,沉浸在自己擅长的领域,对于世界有着不同一般的奇异视角。 不同一般,体现在与人的关系上,就是很难用常人的逻辑来理解人际关系。 换句话说,就是美剧里经常出现的那种学习超级...
評分 評分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...
評分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...
