The Rosie Project by Graeme Simsion
3.0

The buzz about this book has been on for a little while and I finally got around to it. What an adorable story. The entire concept is feel good inside and out. And so current, considering how much research is currently going on regarding Autism and Aspergers...while really nothing is known yet. Crazy. Also, I found Don's perspective to be insightful and refreshing. I don't actually have any idea what it feels like to think so "differently" but I felt like this was a great representation. And it really helped me understand, at least more than I did, the thought processes behind anyone "wired differently" as Don would say. Every one of his thoughts and logical progressions made sense, so even though it would never occur to me to think along those lines, I can't completely see how someone would/could. This story and the storytelling behind it was both fascinating and cute, well paced, and really creative.
