The Rosie Project

I very much enjoyed The Rosie Project by Graeme Simsion, an Australian author writing his first novel.  The story is about Professor Don Tillman, a geneticist working at a university, who decides at age 39 to find a wife and develops a questionnaire which will filter out the women with undesirable attributes.  Don has some personality issues - he plans his day down to the minute and therefore has a routine from which he rarely deviates.  He meets Rosie who wants to learn the identity of her biological father and Don is caught up in this project.  Rosie does not fit his criteria for the perfect wife, however, he and Rosie develop a sort of relationship which is subject to misunderstandings on both sides.  This is a great romantic comedy and a very enjoyable read. 41/2/5
