More Answered Questions

A Goodreads user
A Goodreads user asked Graeme Simsion:

Graeme, congratulations on your most innovative books - you may remember me when I was CIO of SE Sydney Health. In your Rosie books, did you see the characters diverge from your original plot, shaping the outcome? In my books, fiction, and currently history, I find the characters have a major influence on the story line. Or do you manage to stay very close to your original outline and direction? Bryn Evans, Sydney.

Sandy
Sandy asked Graeme Simsion:

Looking forward to reading The Best of Adam Sharp! Question: Would you consider Rosie and Don equals in their relationship?

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?
