November 2013- The Rosie Project by Graeme Simsion


The Rosie project is a laugh out loud awkward romance with the adorable Don, the anal protagonist in search of a wife. Don, designs and distributes a questionnaire for potential partners to help sort the unsuitable from the suitable types, early on. They mustn't smoke or drink and must be punctual. Rosie who is none of these needs the help of a geneticist, Don, to find her real father. Don begins doing things out of character, learns to mix cocktails and to dance on this crazy ride. 

We mostly loved the book except for some kooky moments: the escape out of an apartment in New York and the revelation of Rosie's father, not as strongly written as the rest. Anyway here are the scores:


Alison             7
Anna              7.5         
Annette          10
Cheryl            9.5           
Deb                 8              
Genieveive    9
Megan            5   
Phil                 9

Average      8.12
