The Rosie Project

Don is a professor of genetics who is, let's just say different.  His brain is not wired in the usual way.  That is not a bad thing but it makes his life more challenging.  He has learned to live with his differences by creating a very rigid schedule so he stays on track.  Each day he eats the same meals which he has learned to prepare and he cooks well.   He has particular difficulty interacting with others so his circle of friends is very small.

He has decided that he wants to find a wife but he wants to do this in a very orderly way so he has developed a questionnaire for each potential wife to take.  He has put a lot of thought into these questions as well as what he considers are acceptable answers.  He is not having that much success with this method.  And then his friend decides to take over and offers to review all the questionnaires. After all he is a professor of psychology who better to evaluate these candidates.  Then Rosie shows up at Don's door and his journey begins.

This is a fun book with subtle humor.  It is interesting to see how Don Evolves and copes.  I enjoyed the read.
