This is a free sample of The Rosie Effect.
The Rosie Project was an international publishing phenomenon, with more than a million copies sold in over forty countries around the world. Now Graeme Simsion returns with the highly anticipated sequel, The Rosie Effect. Don Tillman and Rosie Jarman are now married and living in New York. Don has been teaching while Rosie completes her second year at Columbia Medical School. Just as Don is about to announce that Gene, his philandering best friend from Australia, is coming to stay, Rosie drops a bombshell: she's pregnant. In true Tillman style, Don instantly becomes an expert on all things obstetric. But in between immersing himself in a new research study on parenting and implementing the Standardised Meal System , Don's old weaknesses resurface. And while he strives to get the technicalities right, he gets the emotions all wrong, and risks losing Rosie when she needs him most. The Rosie Effect is the charming and hilarious romantic-comedy of the year. Graeme Simsion was born in Auckland and is a Melbourne-based writer of short stories, plays, screenplays and two non-fiction books. The Rosie Project began life as a screenplay, winning the Australian Writers Guild/Inscription Award for Best Romantic Comedy before being adapted into a novel. It went on to win the 2012 Victorian Premier's Literary Award for an unpublished manuscript and has since been sold around the world to over forty countries. Sony Pictures have optioned the film rights with Graeme contracted to write the script. It won the 2014 ABIA for Best General Fiction Book and overall Book of the Year. Praise for The Rosie Project: 'Funny and heartwarming, a gem of a book.' Marian Keyes 'Don Tillman helps us believe in possibility, makes us proud to be human beings, and the bonus is this: he keeps us laughing like hell. I'd love to have a beer with the humane and hilarious Graeme Simsion.' Matthew Quick, New York Times bestselling author of The Silver Linings Playbook 'The Rosie Project is 1930s screwball comedy updated for 2013. Hepburn and Grant in Bringing Up Baby, or Rosalind Russell and Grant in His Girl Friday have the exact same pitch, intelligence, wit and farce with a love story at the centre of it all. Madcap indeed, but like those films The Rosie Project underscored with writing meticulously judged...Extremely loud and incredibly long applause.' Age/SMH/Canberra Times/Brisbane Times 'What an endearing, funny book...a quirky love story about belonging with poignant undertones on the need for us all to be more tolerant of those with differences. A must read for 2013.' Courier Mail/Daily Telegraph 'The charm of this story is Simsion's affectionate depiction of his strange, flawed, infuriating, logical and always amusing protagonist.' Weekend Australian

Having not read. The Rosie Project I found it hard to associate with Don. I enjoyed the writing style but felt it was predictable and rushed towards the end. Some characters came and went and didn’t offer too much to the development of the story. Overall I enjoyed it and it was an easy read.

The sequel lived up to my expectations. You get so immersed in the story that you find your self not wantong to put the book down. I gasped as the story unfolded itself. I could'nt believe I did not work up the build to the conclusion. You have to read this

Boring. Just couldn't make myself read it. I found the Rosie project really engaging, but this one seemed like a chore.

Chloe

Good book but first and third are better

Richard Ashley

Very entertaining look into great set of characters. Loved this book.

Ladies Nightout

Rosie & Don end up pregnant & how Don deals with it. Rayka recommends this book.

Amy

not sure what i loved more- the story or Don Tillman. With all his complexities his heart makes me wish he was real so i could befriend him. His character is such a credit to Simsons story telling abilities. wonderfully written!!

Cecilia Lara

It was OK. However, I really felt that Rosie's character was underdeveloped and I didn't connect with her story. Don's mishaps and faux pas were entertaining though.

Theresa

OMG I just loved this continuation of The Rosie Project, Graeme Simsion is a wonderful writer with his quirky and lovely story. Thank you Graeme and please keep writing!

Jillian C

Poorly written and I didn't finish the book. Having loved the Rosie Project, I was hoping for a similar read, unfortunatley it didn't live up to the expectation. Don't bother
