Book Club Discussion for The Rosie Project by Graeme Simsion

I really enjoyed this book choice.  It was a very quick read (devoured it in 2 days) and avoided the obvious chick-lit pitfalls.  It would have been a great by-the-pool read.

It reminded me of 'Eleanor Oliphant is Fine' - how the narrative in the book changed as Don adapted and became more flexible to disruption in his schedule.  Also 'The Colour of Milk' where the main character starts off illiterate and then the narrative adapts as she becomes more literate.

I loved Don and his planning.  He used his careful systems to moderate his life and keep control.  Rosie's arrival threw this into chaos and I enjoyed how he justified it in his own mind by re-writing his rules to fit.  

Rosie was a warm and caring character with her own flaws.  They seemed to bring out the best in each other.  

The book evolved in a satisfactory way and the questionnaire made me laugh out loud in places.  I loved the conclusion but don't feel the need to read the other books in the trilogy.
