An international sensation, this hilarious, feel-good novel is narrated by an oddly charming and socially challenged genetics professor on an unusual quest: to find out if he is capable of true love. THE ART OF LOVE IS NEVER A SCIENCE MEET DON TILLMAN, a brilliant yet socially challenged professor of genetics, who's decided it's time he found a wife. And so, in the orderly, evidence-based manner with which Don approaches all things, he designs the Wife Project to find his perfect partner: a sixteen-page, scientifically valid survey to filter out the drinkers, the smokers, the late arrivers. Rosie Jarman is all these things. She also is strangely beguiling, fiery, and intelligent. And while Don quickly disqualifies her as a candidate for the Wife Project, as a DNA expert Don is particularly suited to help Rosie on her own quest: identifying her biological father. When an unlikely relationship develops as they collaborate on the Father Project, Don is forced to confront the spontaneous whirlwind that is Rosie--and the realization that, despite your best scientific efforts, you don't find love, it finds you. Arrestingly endearing and entirely unconventional, Graeme Simsion's distinctive debut will resonate with anyone who has ever tenaciously gone after life or love in the face of great challenges. The Rosie Project is a rare find: a book that restores our optimism in the power of human connection.

An interesting and fun read, but hardly the character-building tome that is described in marketing materials. It would make a decent Hallmark television movie.

reviers are right
Several reviewers said they read the book in one day. Not really? Yes, really. Surprisingly so did I. The author promises another novel this year. I want it.

Not my favorite, but amusing. Knowing something of the medical problem perhaps made it more interesting.

The Rosie Project
I loved this book because of the characters in it. I work in Research Administration and in the academic world. I've met and am friends with many people like the main character with personality traits such as his. I don't share these traits but can't help but admire the intelligence of this character and I like being forced to stop and consider how his thinking got him to a certain point. No, that's not how I would have done it but, so what? Who's to say he didn't do it better? I enjoyed Rosie's character as well and am glad the end result was what it was. Good, fast, lighthearted and funny read that might make you appreciate someone who is different than you.
