Aspergers Cliche? No, I loved it!

I started listening to this and thought oh no, here we go, Curious Incident... revisited. But it grabbed me. I rapidly found myself brightening up at the thought of my next opportunity to rejoin Don and Rosie. Wondered what they were up to while my back was turned. It is a light romance superbly done, and the themes explored apply to us all. This book could have so easily have been a clod-hopper, but it was a very elegant dip into what makes for solid relationships and the myriad things that can trip us up. I had a smile on my face pretty much from go to whoa.

Delightfully different!

What made the experience of listening to The Rosie Project the most enjoyable?

The story was so different to anything I've read (the only other book related to an autistic character was Mark Haddon's The curious incident of the dog in the night-time). I loved how he saw the world -- it really made me think about how I see the world and how others might see it.

What was one of the most memorable moments of The Rosie Project?

There were many moments that made me smile. When he tried to think like a 'normal' person and in the end insulted Rosie. So bittersweet! And the DNA collections were just hilarious.

Have you listened to any of Dan O'Gradys other performances before? How does this one compare?

No. Loved his narration.

Who was the most memorable character of The Rosie Project and why?

Don, obviously.

Any additional comments?

This is one of those books that I started listening to with no expectations and in the end loved it.

Nerds Rule

A really delightful story where the marginalised triumph. Listen for pure pleasure as the rule bound hero makes his way toward a fully rounded life, detecting a suitable partner in a scientific fashion while dodging the bullets of academic political machinations so familiar to anybody connected to a university. I cant wait for the film. Especially for the golf club dinner episode.

Fun read

Story was great. Narrator was excellent. Loved the sustained first-person perspective of the protagonist. Enjoyed every bit of it.

Laugh Out Loud

If you could sum up The Rosie Project in three words, what would they be?

What a powerful insight into how some people think. Absolutely loved this.

What does Dan O'Grady bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book?

He really makes you feel like you're listening to the main character himself. Well read.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

Lots of laughing.
