Detalles: Reseña del editor The international bestselling romantic comedy &;bursting with warmth, emotional depth, and&;humor,&; ( Entertainment Weekly) featuring the oddly charming, socially challenged genetics professor, Don, as he seeks true love. The art of love is never a science: Meet Don Tillman, a brilliant yet socially inept professor of genetics, who&;s decided it&;s time he found a wife. In the orderly, evidence-based manner with which Don approaches all things, he designs the Wife Project to find his perfect partner: a sixteen-page, scientifically valid survey to filter out the drinkers, the smokers, the late arrivers. Rosie Jarman possesses all these qualities. Don easily disqualifies her as a candidate for The Wife Project (even if she is &;quite intelligent for a barmaid&;). But Don is intrigued by Rosie&;s own quest to identify her biological father. When an unlikely relationship develops as they collaborate on The Father Project, Don is forced to confront the spontaneous whirlwind that is Rosie&;and the realization that, despite your best scientific efforts, you don&;t find love, it finds you. Arrestingly endearing and entirely unconventional, Graeme Simsion&;s distinctive debut &;navigates the choppy waters of adult relationships, both romantic and platonic, with a fresh take ( USA TODAY). &;Filled with humor and plenty of heart, The Rosie Project is a delightful reminder that all of us, no matter how we&;re wired, just want to fit in&; ( Chicago Tribune). Críticas Another great favorite: The Rosie Project, a hilarious novel by Graeme Simsion. It's truly one of the funniest and most poignant novels I've read, and when you've finished it, there's an excellent sequel as well. --Nicholas Kristof, New York Times Newsletter " The Rosie Project is an upbeat, quirky, impertinent gem of a read. As the novel makes its logically irrefutable progression, readers will become enchanted by what may well be the world's first rigorously evidence-based romantic comedy." --Chris Cleave, author of Little Bee and Gold " The Rosie Project is the best, most honestly told love story I've read in a long time." --Kristin Hannah, author of Fly Away and Home Front " The Rosie Project opens as strongly as any comic novel I've read in a long time. . . . The book roars at high speed to its conclusion. . . . A highfunctioning but emotionally illiterate guy like Don makes a perfect unreliable narrator. . . . Happily, Simsion doesn't give Don an unbelievable emotional makeover. Our man just learns to live by a more complicated algorithm." -- Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel "[A] bright, whip-snappingly funny romantic comedy. . . . Readers, too, will push eagerly through the narrative, and at the end they'll have one thought: thank goodness there's a sequel." -- Library Journal "A world so original, in a story so compelling, I defy you not to read through the night. Read this glorious novel now, in the moment, where it lives." --Adriana Trigiani, author of The Shoemaker's Wife "Although there are many laughs to be found in this marvelous novel, The Rosie Project is a serious reflection on our need for companionship and identity. Don Tillman is as awkward and confusing a narrator as he is lovable and charming." --John Boyne, author of The Boy in the Striped Pajamas "An utterly winning screwball comedy. . . . If you're looking for sparkling entertainment along the lines of Where'd You Go, Bernadette and When Harry Met Sally, The Rosie Project is this season's fix. . . . This charming, warmhearted escapade, which celebrates the havoc--and pleasure--emotions can unleash, offers amusement aplenty. Sharp dialogue, terrific pacing, physical hijinks, slapstick, a couple to root for, and more twists than a pack of Twizzlers--it's no surprise that The Rosie Project is bound for the big screen. But read it first." --NPR.org "Charming, funny, and heartwarming, a gem of a book." --Marian Keyes, author of The Brightest Star in the Sky
