The downloadable, audiobook edition of Graeme Simsion’s prize-winning romantic comedy The Rosie Project, read by the actor Dan O’Grady.

Meet Don. Don is a genetics professor who just might be somewhere on the autistic spectrum. He looks a little like Gregory Peck and is getting married. He just doesn’t know who to yet. But he has designed a very detailed questionnaire to help him find the perfect woman. And it’s definitely not Rosie. Absolutely, completely, definitely not .Rosie, meanwhile, isn’t looking for love; she’s looking for her biological father. Sometimes, though, you don’t find love: love finds you...

Fabulous book...don't hesitate, just buy it.

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

Storyline, characters, narrator...the whole package.

What did you like best about this story?

The humour - laugh out loud moments. Very Australian humour though, so be warned if you are not an Aussie as it may be a bit parochial.

What does Dan O'Grady bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

His voice is perfect for the character Don. I wish I could find more books narrated by him.

If you could take any character from The Rosie Project out to dinner, who would it be and why?

Don. He's an absolute gem...read it and see why!

Any additional comments?

This book was chosen for our bookclub and I was dubious about it when I read the blurb...but it is right up there in my top book selection.

Enjoyable RomCom

Nice book and story, the evolution of the main character was entertaining and the ending, romcom formulaic but nicely done.

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 wouldn’t 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.

An aussie gem

I loved the Rosie Project. I laughed and I cried. A story that will touch your heart on so many levels and for so many different reasons

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.
