What They're Saying

Critics Review

‘That these books are as funny and charming and often touching as they are is a tribute to the skill with which they’re written.’

‘How does Graeme Simsion follow-up his dual smash hits of The Rosie Project and The Rosie Effect? By penning a novel that is just as funny and poignant, but with a tumultuous moral core…it will resonate long after you’ve closed the book.’ * Pages & Pages Booksellers *
‘Oscillates between profound emotional depths and absolute hilarity…So much fun!’ – Toni Collette
‘While Simsion’s touch is delicate, this is a dark comedy of manners, an adult entertainment that extends the range of his first, more light-hearted book.’ * Age *
‘A smart, touching and warm-hearted tale of the power of love, and how far we can go to find it.’ * Mindfood *
‘A great read—romantic, wry and well-written in that blokish David Nicholls-ish way. And totally rock’n’roll: Bob Dylan and Patti Smith fans will love all the references.’ * Daily Mail UK *
‘With very real characters, an engaging plot and plenty of wit, this is a joy.’ * Heat *
’[A] poignant glimpse into human relationships—what it is to love and to be loved…The Best of Adam Sharp hits you right in the morals and leaves you thinking—how far would you go for a second chance?’ * Books & Publishing *
‘Pop-obsessed, highly readable new novel from the bestselling author of The Rosie Project.’ * Mail on Sunday *
‘Graeme Simsion does an excellent job of taking the rather simple premise of examining a great lost love and presenting the possibility of a second chance.’
* AU Review *
‘It’s a hugely romantic tale, and some of it is quite lovely and moving; some of it is funny and much of it is unsettling.’
* Daily Review *
‘We love The Rosie Project author Graeme Simsion’s The Best of Adam Sharp.’ * Fabulous, Sun on Sunday *
‘What seems like a run-of-the-mill chick-lit tale about “theone that got away” becomes a complicated exploration of marriage, whatit means to love someone, and how life gets in the way.’ * Publishers Weekly *
‘…a well-written and thoughtful treatise on what it means to have loved and lost, yet be given the luxury of a second chance.’
* Book Reporter *
‘How does Graeme Simsion follow-up his dual smash-hits of The Rosie Project and The Rosie Effect?By penning a novel that is just as funny and poignant, but with atumultuous moral core…it will resonate long after you’ve closed thebook.’ * Pages & Pages Booksellers *
The Best of Adam Sharp is a novel that asks important questions, and is as moving as it is entertaining.’ * Booklover Book Reviews *
‘An extraordinarily clever, funny, and moving book about being comfortable with who you are and what you’re good at.’ * Bill Gates on The Rosie Project *
‘It’s terrific to have Simsion back at it and this time he’s educatingreaders on all things musical with an accompanying playlist to boot.Very clever stuff.’ * Angus & Robertson Bookworld *
