The Rosie Project

Book Jacket for: The Rosie projectGraeme Simsion brings us a very different love story in The Rosie Project.  Our narrator is Don Tillman.  Don is a genetics professor and can be described as not neurologically typical.  He has decided he wants a wife and so creates a carefully designed, scientifically sound survey designed to find the perfect partner.  Needless to say things do not go as he expected. 

This is an entertaining and enganging book that attempts to make a narrator who is clearly somewhere on the autism scale likeable, relateable, and understandable.  I enjoyed the book and would recommend it to people interested in alternate viewpoint novels and those looking for an understanding depicture of people who are not neurotypical.
