First time I've ever read a book for a book group and made it to the end... and in one sitting, too. It was obvious that the author had a screenplay in mind - as I read I could imagine the film -and once I got into the style of writing and gentle humour I really enjoyed it. It's an easy and pleasant read and the social awkwardness of Don is easy to recognise. Found myself feeling quite proud of him! Described by the Sunday Times as 'exuberantly life-affirming' The Rosie Project is a pleasant read but isn't exactly life altering. The socially inept geneticist Don is looking for love in all the wrong places, he devises a questionnaire to find a 100% compatible Mrs. Tillman and isn't quite prepared for the disorder that ensues when he comes across the capricious Rosie. The narrative caused the story to drag a little near the end but I enjoyed Don & Rosie's kooky relationship. As a debut novel it's enjoyable but I felt the secondary characters lacked definition. I'm a bit lukewarm about this one. But before I go.... Do you know why the geneticist went to dental school? He was looking for an oral high gene!
Amusing book! although its a bit predictable along the way but definitely a fun read!..
