Wow, one hell of a love story! Quirky, engaging, entertaining -- the whole package. I highly recommend it.

The protagonist, Don Tillman, is a very intelligent man with many accolades of degrees and education accredited to his background, but with a bit of a twist. He just happens to be wired different. His life revolves around the…

About a man with autism that doesn't know it. Just OK.

I really enjoyed this book! Having the perspective of someone on the autism spectrum was an interesting take. The storyline was rather predictable (as most romances are) but I enjoyed witnessing the evolution of the main character.

Determined that it's time to find a wife, Don, an Australian genetics professor, draws up a series of questions for potential mates designed to disqualify women who don't meet his exacting requirements. Unsurprisingly, after disseminating…

Geneticist Don Tillman is a brilliant, hilarious, and honestly good-hearted protagonist, despite the fact that at the beginning of the story nearly everyone but his two friends—his boss and his boss's wife--thinks he's a jerk. This is the…

Required reading for anyone who loves, likes or deals with an OCD person. I did not think the book was at all funny, but rather sad. The "hero" knew he was not supposed to be the way he was, but he made a fool of himself trying to be…

All but one of our Book Club readers thoroughly enjoyed this book. We don't often find light-hearted kits and have often commented on how many are depressingly dramatic. Our discussion meeting was very lively. The one person who listened…

Enjoyable enough. And funny. But I like E J Copperman's Asperger's mysteries better (titles start with "The Question of..."). Maybe because they're more... substantial? And funny, too...

We had a lively and enlightening discussion today about this title. One of our book group members is a retired physicist. I always learn new things from her regarding the science in the books we read. All of the women who came to discuss…

I accidently read "The Rosie Effect" in 2016 and I apparently loved it (according to my review on Goodreads). I NEVER give any book 5 stars. Then I saw "The Rosie Project" on the shelf in our condo on Maui last week and remembered…

Absolutely adorable and heartwarming!

Could not finish this. At first, Don’s propensity for being direct and literal were funny, but then it went on and on, and I couldn’t tolerate what I assumed was supposed to be a shock or maybe humor for the reader. It also lacked in…

The Rosie Project is a quick read but worth the time. The book kept me interested because of the unique perspective of the narrator. Although, I feel like the ending was way too rushed. Overall, the book was good, and I found myself being…

I thought that I would find this book irritating, but I enjoyed it immensely! Don is charming, and Rosie is delightful. I loved how the story progressed and appreciated the romantic elements.

This book is perfectly fine, but it did make me wish for more books written by autistic authors.

I read this for a second time. It was a light-hearted choice by our book club host for this month. The book is about pure entertainment alone, generating smiles at the expense of socially inept Asperger characteristics. I could never…

This is a thoroughly delightful book! I found the characters quite lovable...Don, who is likely “on the spectrum,” is heartbreakingly sincere, and Rosie is as honest as she is flawed. The book is a lovely, if not altogether graceful, dance…
