I took a break from dystopia to read an advanced copy of Graeme Simsion's The Rosie Project. Wow, what a great break! This book is about a man who has aspergers, but does not realize it. I know, aspergers, really, how can a novel about aspergers be this good. Well, Simsion is able to make you really like the main character, Don. He is odd and has adjusted to life being different. His best friend and wife think that Don needs a wife, but he has yet to find one suitable for himself. I say suitable, as that would be something Don might say. He is a genetics professor and loves research. Don creates "The Wife Project" to find himself a wife. You can only imagine what he thinks is a suitable wife!
While in the midst of this he meets Rosie and starts a whole different project. I do not want to reveal more of this wonderful story, but what a great read. I smiled, laughed, and just took a break for a while to read this incredible story.
