Cynthia Shannon
Cynthia Shannon asked Graeme Simsion:

It's been announced that Jennifer Lawrence will be playing Rosie in the upcoming movie adaptation, but any inkling on who will be playing Don? Who would you hope to cast? I've ALWAYS imagined him as a Stephen Merchant type. What do you think?

Vered Milman
Vered Milman asked Graeme Simsion:

Dear Graeme, as someone who has Asperger's I'm impressed of your book. So accurate, interesting and optimistic – I loved it!! I think that Asperger's is a very interesting topic to write about, I write a romantic novel (also about Asperger's) and your book gave me some inspiration. It written incredibly good, you did a great job! Did you do some research about Asperger's? Do you have personal interest in it? Thanks.
