The Rosie Project was a book I read about in People Magazine. It was in their book column one week as a must-read, especially now that the sequel, The Rosie Effect has been published. I can't say that I am rushing out to get The Rosie Effect, but may be enticed to pick it up the next time I need and easy read.
The Rosie Project is the story of genetics Professor Don Tillman, who I feel can be liked to Dr. Sheldon Cooper of "The Big Bang Theory." In fact, I imagined Sheldon Cooper on each page. Don talks like Sheldon, acts like Sheldon, and is hilarious, as a result, just like Sheldon. The plot is simple: Don has created a survey in hopes of finding the perfect wife (The Wife Project). When student Rosie Jarman enters his life (as a bit of a joke played on him by his good friend Gene) his life gets turned upside down as he and Rosie work together to find Rosie's biological father (The Father Project) and he realizes that maybe a wife can't be found through a survey.
The book is funny and it is a quick read (despite how long it took me to finish it--I blame exams last week and busy weekends with my family for the long duration it took me to finish this less than 300 page book). The film-rights for this story have been optioned by Sony Pictures (no idea what that really means) and I would happily go see this book turned movie in the theater.
Cute story! A beach-bag book for sure!
Happy reading, everyone!
