The Rosie Project
by Graeme Simsion
4.5 stars
4 stars for the plot (I wasn't completely sold on wacky stuff they do for The Father Project) and 5 stars for Don Tillman.
This book hooked me from the very beginning, and I could hardly stand to put it down (damn you, work & sleep!) I loved Don and being inside his head; I think the fact that the story is told from his POV, in 1st person, is what made this great. From any other perspective, Don would have simply seemed quirky and socially awkward, but from his perspective and following his thought-process, all his so-called "weirdness" made sense. In fact, it sometimes took a minute of processing or a mention of it in the book to notice that some of his actions weren't what the average person would do. And I didn't really think too much about the way Gene was acting because Don didn't think too much about it, until later in the book. I think this was a testament to how well-written and immersive this book was. I can't wait to read the sequel! (which, luckily, I bought at the same time as this one
