Recenzii
Full of quirky humour and touching tenderness. Imagine the love child of Eleanor Oliphant and Bridget Jones and you have this book
Such a joy to read - I honestly can't think of many books that I enjoyed more. It's the definition of a comfort book - an easy and warm read with a lot of heart, and it made me laugh out loud more than any book before
Brisk, funny, and at times outrageous . . . A completely charming story that is as engaging as it is funny
Funny, endearing, and pure, wonderful escapism
A sweet, funny rom-com . . . You'll be willing Don and Rosie on every step of the way
Original, charming and very funny
Touching and laugh-out-loud funny -- thinkThe Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-timemeetsSilver Linings Playbook
A hilarious, unlikely romance with heartbreaking twists
Don Tillman is one of the most endearing, charming and fascinating literary characters I have met in a long time
Genuinely funny; you'll laugh out loud
I absolutely lovedThe Rosie Project-- original and clever, and perfectly written.The world is going to fall in love with Don and Rosie
A poignant, funny novel about how you don't find love; it finds you
Don Tillman will exasperate, delight and immerse you in a world so original, in a story so compelling, I defy you not to read through the night. Glorious
Beneath the fun and the fluff there is a quietly profound exploration of the assumptions around autism and what it means to have an atypical - or typical - brain
A very funny and touching love story
Adorable . . . Really funny and heart-warming, a gem of a book
If you likeThe Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night Timeyou'll loveThe Rosie Project
Written in a superbly pitch-perfect voice,The Rosie Projecthad me cheering for Don on every page. I'm madly in love with this book! Trust me, you will be, too
The best, most honestly told love story I've read in a long time
Marvellous. Don Tillman is as awkward and confusing a narrator as he is lovable and charming
As well as being delightfully romantic, this is a very funny book and you'll be laughing out loud at Don's misadventures
Funny, charming and heart-warming
