About the author Graeme Simsion:
Australian Author
Graeme Simsion is a former information technology and business consultant, who specialized in data modeling, information management and consulting practices.
Prior to writing fiction he was an information systems consultant and wrote two books and several papers about data-modelling.
He is now a full time writer of fiction. His first novel, The Rosie Project was published in 2013.
About the book:
Don Tillman is a socially challenged genetics professor who's decided the time has come to find a wife. His questionnaire is intended to weed out anyone who's unsuitable. The trouble is, Don has rather high standards and doesn't really do flexible so, despite lots of takers - he looks like Gregory Peck - he's not having much success in identifying The One.
When Rosie Jarman comes to his office, Don assumes it's to apply for the Wife Project - and duly discounts her on the grounds she smokes, drinks, doesn't eat meat, and is incapable of punctuality. However, Rosie has no interest in becoming Mrs Tillman and is actually there to enlist Don's assistance in a professional capacity: to help her find her biological father.
Sometimes, though, you don't find love: love finds you...

This was a great Sunday read, and a nice change from recent reads for me.
It was nice to get back into some Australian new fiction.
I found the characters to be believable, the plot to be refreshing, and not all too predictable.
It will be interesting to see if this makes the big screen.
This book was chosen by time-traveller from the USA from the VBB of debut novels that I hosted in 2014.
I hope it is continued to be enjoyed.
This was a quick and enjoyable story. I read it in one sitting! I'm so excited to release it when I'm on vacation later this year.
