The Rosie Project by Graeme Simsion is a story about love, life and lobsters...
Meet Don Tillman.
Don is getting married.
He just doesn't know who to yet.
But he has designed a very detailed questionnaire to help him find the perfect woman.
One thing he already knows, though, is that it's not Rosie.
Absolutely, completely, definitely not.
Telling the story of Rosie and Don, Graeme Simsion's The Rosie Project is an international phenomenon, sold in over thirty countries - and counting.
Don Tillman is a socially challenged genetics professor who's decided the time has come to find a wife. His questionnaire is intended to weed out anyone who's unsuitable. The trouble is, Don has rather high standards and doesn't really do flexible so, despite lots of takers - he looks like Gregory Peck - he's not having much success in identifying The One.
When Rosie Jarman comes to his office, Don assumes it's to apply for the Wife Project - and duly discounts her on the grounds she smokes, drinks, doesn't eat meat, and is incapable of punctuality. However, Rosie has no interest in becoming Mrs Tillman and is actually there to enlist Don's assistance in a professional capacity: to help her find her biological father.
Sometimes, though, you don't find love: love finds you...
Like The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry, The Rosie Project by Graeme Simsion is a truly distinctive debut. With the charm of Mark Haddon's The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time and the romance of David Nicholls' One Day, it's both funny and endearing - and is set to become the feel-good novel of 2013...
孤独和寂寞不一样,寂寞会发慌,孤独则是饱满的。 说实话,我到现在也没明白,这句话究竟是史铁生说的,还是蒋勋说的。但诚然如此。 这本书的主角——唐,本身就是一名阿斯伯格综合征患者,当然按照他的说法,这不能称为“患者”,而是大脑的“配置”与他人不同。 当然,我本来...
评分孤独和寂寞不一样,寂寞会发慌,孤独则是饱满的。 说实话,我到现在也没明白,这句话究竟是史铁生说的,还是蒋勋说的。但诚然如此。 这本书的主角——唐,本身就是一名阿斯伯格综合征患者,当然按照他的说法,这不能称为“患者”,而是大脑的“配置”与他人不同。 当然,我本来...
评分 评分At first, I thought Don was like a mixture of Sheldon and Leonard. He divided every part of his life with clockwork precision, such as to what to eat and when to do the excercises. He lacked the social ability to make friends with others, which led to the f...
评分阿斯伯格综合征让人更有计划性,精力更集中,拥有创造性思维和超然的理性 这感觉就好像我在阳台晚餐之后俯瞰城市的一瞬,又好像罗茜给我写下电话号码的一瞬。另外一个世界,另外一种生活,近在咫尺,却又难以达到。 科学研究反复证明,饮酒对健康造成的风险要远远超出其可能带...
多次在我以为即将走入大俗套时有一个转折小高潮,还蛮好玩的。"Don is not dead!"也是比无罅隙彻底融入普罗大众更好,虽然结尾部分的交代有点过于密集的"conventional"啦。
评分Love is never a result of the profile screening-and-match, rather is sparked by some craziness.
评分Sheldon变成正常人了。好让人失望。
评分矮油其实我觉得男主以前的活法恰到好处怎么破
评分funny 看过一笑 通俗大结局 呵呵呵
