Praise for THE ROSIE PROJECT

‘The hero of The Rosie Project is one of those rare fictional characters destined to take up residence in the popular consciousness. Don Tillman…seems set to join Adrian Mole and Bridget Jones as a creation with a life beyond the final chapter. ’ Guardian

‘An extraordinarily clever, funny, and moving book about being comfortable with who you are and what you’re good at…This is one of the most profound novels I’ve read in a long time. ’ Bill Gates in The Gates Notes

‘Extremely loud and incredibly long applause. ’ Age

‘Charming, funny and heartwarming, a gem of a book. ’ Marian Keyes

‘Crackling with wit and boasting an almost perfectly calibrated heartbreak-to-romance ratio, Graeme Simsion’s delightful debut, The Rosie Project, joins ranks with the best romantic comedies of our age. ’ Globe and Mail

The Rosie Project is an upbeat, quirky, impertinent gem of a read…may well be the world’s first rigorously evidence-based romantic comedy. ’ Chris Cleave

‘Squelch your inner cynic: the hype is justified. Graeme Simsion has written a genuinely funny novel. ’ Washington Post

‘One of the most endearing, charming and fascinating literary characters I have met in a long time. ’ The Times

‘Although there are many laughs to be found in this marvellous novel, The Rosie Project is a serious reflection on our need for companionship and identity. ’ John Boyne

‘I couldn’t put this book down. It’s one of the most quirky and endearing romances I’ve ever read. ’ Sophie Kinsella

‘A sparkling, laugh-out-loud novel.

Kirkus Reviews

‘This charming, warm-hearted 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. ’ NPR

‘…the overall effect of The Rosie Project will be, if anything, to increase genuine understanding of Aspergers (or, as it will soon be called, the autistic spectrum) and to refute some common myths. It’s great fun, too. ’ Australian Book Review

‘Don Tillman helps us believe in possibility, makes us proud to be human beings, and the bonus is this: he keeps us laughing like hell. ’ Matthew Quick

‘Laugh-out-loud funny, poignant and so ingenious and compelling you feel as if you want to jump into the world of the novel and join in. ’ Australian Women’s Weekly

‘Happily, Simsion doesn’t give Don an unbelievable emotional makeover. Our man just learns to live by a more complicated algorithm. ’ Milwaukee Journal Sentinel
