Five stars for the level of enjoyment I got out of this book, not necessarily because it's such a terribly well written tome. I just loved it - it made me laugh aloud, smile, and go all warm and fuzzy. Froth and fun, in the genre of romantic comedies.

I absolutely loved The Rosie Project! It was a delightful experience to explore the story from a unique point of view and gain a deeper understanding of different perspectives. The humor was spot-on, and although it had some predictable moments, it remained an incredibly enjoyable and rewarding read. 5 stars!

Don, a genetics professor and researcher, is not your average guy - he lives by rules and schedules and routines and may/may not have Asperger's. Regardless, he has decided to hack the usual speed/online dating gig by creating an exceptionally precise questionnaire as part of The Wife Project. Enter Rosie, a woman who doesn't pass the questionnaire. Yet after spending some time together, Don starts to step out of his routine, and might actually have "feelings" for someone else.
Narrated by Don, this novel provides a unique look into the mind of someone who sees the world quite differently than the masses. It's about love, but also a glimpse into another way of living. And that's where this book shines. Maybe the love stuff was contrived, but I certainly enjoyed reading about the inner workings of Don's psyche.
Funny, clever, sweet. I enjoyed this book, and it's worth a read just for acquiring a better understanding of someone who may/may not have Asperger's. The's a sequel now, The Rosie Effect, so I'll probably pick it up. A good light read on the bus so pick it up!

Heartwarming. Funny. Insightful. An ultimately satisfying book about letting love find you. Don and Rosie are such likeable characters, and hearing the world from don's point of view is refreshing and delightful. A terrific read and I look forward to the follow up.
