Aspies rule!

The Rosie Project (Hardcover)

Customer Review

Don Tillman, 40 years old, single, a lecturer in genetics at a Melbourne University, is highly intelligent, looks good, and has his life under control. Which is something of an understatement: His daily routine is planned down to the minute and optimized, and although everything work, leisure, sleep, everything. Any waste of time is it a horror. The reason: Don has Asperger.

What him traveling towards effortlessly on the intellectual side, but yet not completely lacking on the emotional, and thus lacks even a woman. His occasional Dates ended yet one and all in disasters.

The Don intends to change: women finally have many advantages, provided one hundred percent compatibility. And so he has developed a questionnaire (16 double pages), with which he can sort out unsuitable candidates in good time before he wasted with notorious Zuspätkommerinnen, vegetarians or smokers precious dating time. The Wife Project can begin.

Graeme Simsion who has previously earned his living as an IT consultant and author of a textbook, presented with "The Rosie Project" a quite amazing first novel. As he describes the world and their interpersonal pitfalls from the perspective of "Aspies", is touching and funny at the same time. There are not only romantic flashes that are Don a mystery, even to humor and irony lacks any access.

And when finally the unpunctual, teilvegetarische and fuming Rosie stands at his door, chaos breaks out. Although it comes as a partner in any case not in question, but Don is struggling after some thought through to help Rosie in the search for her biological father. A task for Don as geneticists better suited than any other, the other hand, turns out to be quite expensive because of the considerable number of potential candidates. But if we learn also some less conventional methods for obtaining DNA samples know.

The fact that the two get closer to this, already the title suggests. That does not necessarily have to go well, it provides Dons special predisposition enough reasons. That in all this is an extremely entertaining and exciting until the very end book can come out, I want hereby noted.
