I just finished The Rosie Project by Graeme Simsion and awarded it 5 stars, not because of any attempt to judge literary merit, but out of gratitude. It was the most fun I've enjoyed reading a book since I stumbled over Thus Was Adonis Murdered. Beyond the delightful humor, there are no other similarities between these two very funny books.
I saw the book described as 'chick lit' in a couple of reviews. It most definitely does not fall into that category. It is a touching, hilarious screwball comedy that takes place mostly in Melbourne, Australia and is written by a man from New Zealand. Especially recommended for those in a reading slump who hope to recover the joy of reading.
