Graeme Simsion is a former IT consultant and the author of two nonfiction books on database design who decided, at the age of fifty, to turn his hand to fiction. The narration of the audiobook is fantastic, which is really adding to my enjoyment. He is so socially awkward, and I have found myself laughing out loud quite a few times so far while listening to The Rosie Project. I really enjoy a quirky main character and Don Tillman seems to fit the bill quite easily. At this early stage, it seemed logical to specify the ideal solution and review the questionnaire later if necessary. However, as I eat meat, I considered it would be more convenient if my partner did also. I am aware that there are many arguments in favor of vegetarianism. It is arrestingly endearing and entirely unconventional, and it will make you want to drink cocktails. The Rosie Project is a romantic comedy like no other. She is also fiery and intelligent, strangely beguiling, and looking for her biological father - a search that a DNA expert might just be able to help her with. She will most definitely not be a barmaid, a smoker, a drinker or a late-arriver. He will design a questionnaire - a 16-page, scientifically researched questionnaire - to uncover the perfect partner. A first-date dud, socially awkward, and overly fond of quick-dry clothes, genetics professor Don Tillman has given up on love, until a chance encounter gives him an idea.
