Tedious. And repetitively so. I understand the idea behind trying to give a voice to neuroatypicality but wow did this drag on and almost make me lose the will to live. I loved book one in this series so much that I'm sad that my last memories of these books will not be positive. A shame.
I had observed that neurotypicals criticized autistic people for lacking empathy--towards them--but seldom made any effort to improve their own empathy towards autistic people. -- Don Tillman I agreed with that quote. It resonated. Nothing else in this book did. I loved The Rosie Project. It contained a plot, lovable characters, and was heartwarming in a way that was absent in the two sequels. The Rosie Effect, in comparison, was terribly lacking... it was cheesy, completely missing

4 Stars for The Rosie Result (audiobook) by Graeme Simsion read by Dan O’Grady. This was a interesting end to the trilogy. The story moves back to Australia and mainly revolves around the couple’s 11 year old son. The son has similar traits to his dad. And there is a lot of contemplation about autism between the father and son.
This is the third book of the Don Tillman series and I have enjoyed them all - but the first and the third are the best. In this one Don and Rosie are living in Australia with their son, Hudson. Hudson is having some trouble at school and the school is pushing Don and Rosie to be have him tested for autism. Also Don had some trouble at work - referred to as "the Genetics Lecture Outrage" - so he opens a bar. Rosie is embroiled in her own problems at workThere were many times the book made me lau...
It was great to catch up with Don and Rosie after the first two novels of this trilogy and it was good to get to know their eleven year old son Hudson who stole my heart. With a blend of humor, heart and a big dose of reality, this is a feel good story about parenthood, friendship, about knowing who you are and dealing with what others think you are or want you to be, about being different, being accepted. It’s mostly about two parents love for their child and wanting the best for him. There is
Welcome back to the quirk you would expect from Graeme and from Don!Who can top this? ... I was standing on one leg shucking oysters when the problems began ...Don Tillman how I have missed you! How spoilt was I to receive an arc with a signed letter from the author. I am a privileged reader!What a joy it was to join the loveable cast once more - not one character not to love - well, maybe just one. We join Rosie and Don as their baby turns 11, Hudson is the result of this quirky coupling, and...
2.5 stars.A disappointing conclusion to this unique and quirky series.I read and loved the first two books in this series a few years ago. I remember laughing out loud while reading, smiling while following Don’s eccentric journey and feeling truly invested in the characters and storyline. Unfortunately, none of that happened for me in this third instalment. I’m not sure if it is because my reading tastes have changed over the years or this story wasn’t as quirky and fun as the previous two book...
Sadly the The Rosie Result was the last book in the Don Tilman series, but what a great book to end it with. I have read the previous two books in this series and have thoroughly enjoyed them. Aussie author Graeme Simsion is a very talented author and truly knows how to keep his readers entertained. This book is charming, heartwarming, quirky and quite funny what else could you want in a book? If you haven’t read this book or the series then please do yourself a favor and grab a copy you won’t b...
4.5 starsThe Rosie Result was much more than I expected – it was everything I could have wanted. Meaning: I had no idea it would be this GOOD!!!!Don, is a scientist with Aspergers and his relationship with Rosie is just wonderful. Especially considering where Don started out from, and all the hurdles he had to overcome. Seeing him now with his child, and still going strong with Rosie after 13 years made me love him even more.Now, in The Rosie Result, the author focused on Don, and his relationsh...
Don, what happened?!The first two books had been really interesting and fun to read. They were quirky, but delightful. "The Rosie Result", on the other hand, sometimes feels more an instruction or a thesis on a kid with an Asperger, than a full, complete book. I won't deny, the writing is good, it flows smoothly, it is easy to follow, it is light, but not primitive. But the plot... Not that the plot is very bad or illogical or stupid, no. But it is so bland, so mediocre, that I just don't rememb...
4.5 starsThe Rosie Result is the third and last novel in the Don Tillman series. In the previous novel, The Rosie Effect, Don and his wife, Rosie, were living in New York and were preparing to become parents.Fast forward eleven years and the Tillmans have just moved back to Melbourne, Australia, where Don takes a position as a genetics professor at a university and Rosie becomes the lead researcher for a mental health project. Their son, Hudson, now eleven, has a hard time settling in in the new...
This solid effort is much better than Tillman 2, despite dealing with a multitude of difficult subjects. Mr. Simsion is in excellent form with his writing and direction. 9 of 10 stars
This book was hilarious!! A perfect ending to the series, and in my opinion even better than the first and second book!In the spotlight we have Hudson, Rosie’s and Don’s son. After moving back to Australia from New York City, he is having some issues at school, which eventually results in Don starting the Hudson project, to improve various skills, so that he may fit in better with his peers.Don’s social clumsiness was both adorable and thought-provoking, because sometimes the things people say r...
Absolutely brilliant! The third and final instalment in the trilogy is definitely the best. It would be possible to read this one without having read The Rosie Project and The Rosie Effect but you’d being doing yourself a disservice.Simision, subtlety and effectively, tackles some of the most poignant and significant issues of our times. From the serious diagnosis of children (in this case autism) and race issues to children’s rights, bullying, vaccinating, friendships and even sex Ed.There are
The Rosie Result is the third book in the Don Tillman trilogy by best-selling Australian author and playwright, Graeme Simsion. But for job applications and performance reviews, life is virtually perfect for Don, Rosie and young Hudson in New York. A mere eight months later, a job-related return to Melbourne has unsettled Hudson, now eleven, and Don rates this the most severe of the five problems that he has identified as affecting his overall contentment. It needs some drastic action, and Don h...
3.5 starsThe story picks up 11 years after The Rosie Effect with the Tillman family moving to Australia. The result is that their son, Hudson, really struggles to adapt to the new school. I found it very interesting how very different two teachers in the same school can be in their approach to children with alternative needs.When Hudson does manage to make a friend its of course more complicated than what it should be. With Rosie the story looks at the unfairness of women pursuing demanding care...
Worthy conclusion to the series Rosie’s and Don’s son Hudson has turned 11 and they move back to Australia. It becomes obvious that Hudson is struggling in his new school with some behavioral issues possibly due to autism. At the same time Don also is facing some unintended problem at his workplace, So this book deals with the obstacles people face that do not fit in the mainstream, whereby the reason for their being different might lie in various fields. They might have a different sexual orien...
