The Rosie Project: Fun, Quirky Novel.

If you are an avid reader you may relate to my recent sentiment. I've had a stretch of reading that has left me flat.  I didn't feel up to blogging about those books; maybe I will get inspired in time, but I've been feeling a bit worn out with my reading and I have been in desperate need of a pick-me-up.

Just my luck, to find The Rosie Project waiting for me on my shelf, and it was just what the doctor ordered!!!

This is a quirky, creative and off beat novel about an autistic geneticist who decides that he needs to find a suitable wife, and thus begins The Wife Project. He carefully crafts a 300 point questionnaire which is scientifically based, and .

It's origins as a screen-play are evident. There are scenes in the novel that are clearly included for dramatic, visual impact. The slug out with Don and Rosie's father comes to mind most clearly.

Comical moments, where I did laugh out loud. Don practicing various sexual acts with a skeleton in his office, as the Dean pokes her head in …assumes that he is fixing the model.

Anyway, there are many laugh out loud moments and it really is an entertaining read.
