Shortlisted for the 2014 Indie Awards
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...

Don Tillman, professor of genetics, has never been on a second date. So when an acquaintance informs him that he would make a "wonderful" husband, his first reaction is shock. Yet he must concede to the statistical probability that there is someone for everyone, and Don sets out to find the perfect partner. She will be punctual and logical - most definitely not a barmaid, a smoker, a drinker, or a late-arriver. Yet Rosie Jarman is all these things. She is also beguiling, fiery, intelligent - and on a quest of her own....

Chemist Elizabeth Zott is not your average woman. In fact, Elizabeth Zott would be the first to point out that there is no such thing as an average woman. But it’s the early 1960s and her all-male team at Hastings Research Institute takes a very unscientific view of equality. Except for one: Calvin Evans; the lonely, brilliant, Nobel–prize nominated grudge-holder who falls in love with—of all things—her mind. True chemistry results.

After Tova Sullivan’s husband died, she began working the night shift at the Sowell Bay Aquarium, mopping floors and tidying up. Keeping busy has always helped her cope, which she’s been doing since her eighteen-year-old son, Erik, mysteriously vanished on a boat in Puget Sound over thirty years ago. Tova becomes acquainted with curmudgeonly Marcellus, a giant Pacific octopus living at the aquarium. Marcellus knows more than anyone can imagine but wouldn’t dream of lifting one of his eight arms for his human captors—until he forms a remarkable friendship with Tova.

Meet Ove. He’s a curmudgeon—the kind of man who points at people he dislikes as if they were burglars caught outside his bedroom window. He has staunch principles, strict routines, and a short fuse. But behind the cranky exterior there is a story and a sadness. So when one November morning a chatty young couple with two chatty young daughters move in next door and accidentally flatten Ove’s mailbox, it is the lead-in to a comical and heartwarming tale of unkempt cats, unexpected friendship, and the ancient art of backing up a U-Haul.

Bernadette Fox is notorious. To her Microsoft-guru husband, she's a fearlessly opinionated partner; to fellow private-school mothers in Seattle, she's a disgrace; to design mavens, she's a revolutionary architect, and to 15-year-old Bee, she is a best friend and, simply, Mom.
Then Bernadette disappears. It began when Bee aced her report card and claimed her promised reward: a family trip to Antarctica. But Bernadette's intensifying allergy to Seattle - and people in general - has made her so agoraphobic that a virtual assistant in India now runs her most basic errands.

When Reyna Grande was nine years old, she walked across the US-Mexico border in search of a home, desperate to be reunited with the parents who had left her behind years before for a better life in the City of Angels. What she found instead was an indifferent mother, an abusive, alcoholic father, and a school system that belittled her heritage. With so few resources at her disposal, Reyna finds refuge in words, and it is her love of reading and writing that propels her to rise above until she achieves the impossible and is accepted to the University of California, Santa Cruz.

On November 22, 1963, three shots rang out in Dallas, President Kennedy died, and the world changed. What if you could change it back? In this brilliantly conceived tour de force, Stephen King - who has absorbed the social, political, and popular culture of his generation more imaginatively and thoroughly than any other writer - takes listeners on an incredible journey into the past and the possibility of altering it.

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

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.

Disarming novel
Would you consider the audio edition of The Rosie Project to be better than the print version?
I think both are excellent. The story is strong in itself, but also really well read.
Who was your favorite character and why?
The main character Don. The fact that he takes everything literally and that he observes the behaviour of people around him so accurately makes him a great character. It didn't only make me laugh out loud several times, but it also made me realise how strange certain phrases and some conventions actually are.
What about Dan O'Grady’s performance did you like?
He just was Don, no doubt about it.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
It made me laugh out loud several times. I was also very touched by the difficulty Don sometimes has to cope with.
Any additional comments?
An excellent novel which will make you smile, laugh out loud and make you understand Asperger's (and autism in general) a bit better.

Perfect for a day under the duvet.
Would you listen to The Rosie Project again? Why?
I might. The story is pretty predictable. The ending however suprised me. Which is why I would maybe listen to it again. It was money well spent.
What was one of the most memorable moments of The Rosie Project?
The trip when Rosie and Don go to New York. I want to go on that exact trip.
Which character – as performed by Dan O'Grady – was your favorite?
Everybody usually keeps on saying that their favourite character is the main character, however I loved Claudia and Julie.
If you could take any character from The Rosie Project out to dinner, who would it be and why?
Gene: he needs to learn some manners.
Any additional comments?
You'll love it!

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.

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.

Fun read
Story was great. Narrator was excellent. Loved the sustained first-person perspective of the protagonist. Enjoyed every bit of it.

Aspergers Cliche? No, I loved it!
I started listening to this and thought oh no, here we go, Curious Incident... revisited. But it grabbed me. I rapidly found myself brightening up at the thought of my next opportunity to rejoin Don and Rosie. Wondered what they were up to while my back was turned. It is a light romance superbly done, and the themes explored apply to us all. This book could have so easily have been a clod-hopper, but it was a very elegant dip into what makes for solid relationships and the myriad things that can trip us up. I had a smile on my face pretty much from go to whoa.

Rosy review
Clever wit and excellent characterization made this book an entertaining, compulsive listening experience. i loved that sincere empathy for the character was developed by the author while I was. being educated and made to giggle.
