'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...

读后感
在上个世纪，高等教育不普及，大学教授还是小众的、神秘的群体，他们也被认为是死板的、道德压力沉重的群体，只会做死板的学问，在道德压力和生活死板的折磨中度日，反映这一群体的代表是纳博科夫，《洛丽塔》中的那个傻逼，虽然睡了12岁的小萝莉，但是他的心智和心计甚至不如...
评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...

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。
评分第一二章不错，后面流于俗套。有很强的谢耳朵即视感
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！
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。
