miamicurrent 's review for:
The Rosie Project
by Graeme Simsion
Actual Rating: 3.5 Stars
I LOVED this until the very end. Yes, Don is extremely reminiscent of Sheldon from The Big Bang Theory, but that didn't bother me. It was actually really refreshing to read about a quirky character who most likely is on the autism spectrum. I enjoyed most of the characters, with the exception of Rosie. Gene and Claudia were hilarious, and their dynamic was so interesting.
The ending seemed rushed and implausible, though. I don't want to give away any spoilers, but I just had a hard time believing it. I was also slightly disappointed in Don's development as a character. Overall, I enjoyed the rest of the book enough to overlook this. I'm very interested to read the sequel.
