I enjoyed Graeme Simsion’s story about the character Don Tillman who is a professor teaching genetics in Australia. Don is an adult with Asperger’s Syndrome; he has trouble relating to other people and is very much dependent on his schedule. Don has created a questionnaire to find acceptable candidates to be his wife. No one meets his high standards though. His friend Gene has Don meet Rosie, who is definitely not acceptable. She happens to want to find out who her father is and together she and Don start an amusing project. There is a lot fun dialogue between people and Don begins to change. The author created a likable main character and an excellent book.

I really liked this one too. Like annapi, though, I was underwhelmed by the sequel (though I never finished it).
I’m about to read the third, which is set in Australia. I actually like to the second one more than most.
