This book took me by surprise. I can't say I've read too many books pegged as "romantic comedies," but I've seen plenty of rom-com movies and they usually leave me swooning or barfing, depending on the level and execution of cheesiness. I figured The Rosie Project would go one of these ways, but really it was in a class all it's own. It had plenty of classic romantic cheese (Don even watches classic romance movies as guidance), but it was perfectly complimented with Don Tillman's (often hilarious) mental notes, which downplayed the cheese factor and allowed me to enjoy the story without rolling my eyes. It was funny watching a romance grow from the perspective of a overly-logical man who believed himself incapable of love. Graeme Simsion found a way to write a romantic story in a clever and new way that didn't feel like a Nicholas Sparks novel, and I imagine it would be refreshing to watch in movie form as well.
