Review of 'The Rosie Project (Don Tillman, #1)' on 'Goodreads'

4 stars

charming comedic romance (no wonder they are turning it into a movie) that takes advantage pop culture's current obsession with Sheldon Cooper's character from The Bing Bang Theory. the main character, hilariously unaware that he has asperberg's syndrome, starts a search for his ideal partner and accidently gets involved in a paternity quest. i laughed out loud many times, and that doesn't happen often.
granted - the book does bend the character traits at times in order for the plot to move forward, but if you read the book to simply enjoy yourself (and not look for truths) then it's a great read. i read that the author is going to write a sequel, and get paid TONS i'll bet :)
