“The Rosie Project”: book review

This week was a book review of “The Rosie Project” by Graeme Simsion. This was a light, easy read. It was billed as being “laugh out loud funny” although I can’t say I agree with that, even though some parts did make me smile. I found myself empathising with the inflexible and obsessive traits of Don (the protagonist, who has undiagnosed Aspergers) and it really made me question what it is that makes a human relationship. The ending felt a bit disappointing and predictable, but otherwise a good read. If we’re looking at books with characters with Aspergers, I have to say that it doesn’t, for me, top “The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time” by Mark Haddon.
