The Pequod Review:

Don Tillman is a 39-year-old genetics professor with social issues (he may or may not be on the Autism/Asperger’s spectrum), who he has devised a logical and rational method to find a wife. The problem is that he has to conduct his search in our hopelessly emotional and non-literal world which does not welcome his approach. The premise may not be the most original, but Graeme Simsion creates a well-written and witty comedy of manners, with very funny dialogue.
