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...
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 评分 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...
评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...
Sheldon变成正常人了。好让人失望。
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Great story. Shitty ending.
