After the success of The Rosie Project last year, it was inevitable that we’d get a sequel, though so soon was surprising. In The Rosie Project we followed the adventures of Don Tillman, a genetics professor (with probable Aspergers) who went looking for a wife and found one in Rosie, who drew him into her own quest to find her unknown biological father. In The Rosie Effect, Rosie is pregnant and Don is going to be a father. I’m going to stop there because this relates to my biggest problem with...
Ugh.What a total disappointment. And not just a lil one, but a total train wreck. I can't believe I wasted a day's worth of precious reading time on this. It was just that I kept expecting for it to get better! The first time around was the perfect blend of a slightly irritable, short, straight to the point, and sweet-but-simultaneously-almost-removed way of reporting the story. Don's voice was unusual, but yet still genuine, and despite him being an obviously unusual person, we were still able
I smiled, laughed and got teary eyed in this book just as I did in The Rosie Project because it's fun, funny, sad and just an all-around feel good story . I was thrilled to meet up with Don Tillman and his wife Rosie again. It‘s light hearted in the sense that there are some very funny moments in this book as we see Don trying to cope with married life , and preparing himself to be a father . You just can't imagine the things he does and I certainly don't want to spoil the fun of reading about t...
I loved The Rosie Project. Don Tillman was a character unlike any I had ever encountered before. Honest, hilarious, and easy to love (for the reader, not necessarily for the characters in the book). I was beyond excited when I heard there would be a second book. I was also a little apprehensive, which happens when I finish a book that I thought would be a stand-alone and that was amazing as a stand-alone.After reading reviews that gave only a couple stars or only one star, I was downright SCARED...
Find all of my reviews at: http://52bookminimum.blogspot.com/ Well, rats. Maybe my expectations were just too high after falling head over heels in love with The Rosie Project last year. Maybe there wasn’t enough magic left to make a worthy sequel. Whatever the case, I’m bummed I didn’t enjoy this as much as I thought I would.WARNING: IF YOU HAVE NOT YET READ THE ROSIE PROJECT AND INTEND TO DO SO, BACK AWAY FROM THIS REVIEW IMMEDIATELY. THERE IS ZERO WAY TO AVOID SPOILING THE FIRST BOOK AND S...
(3.5) I was wary after the Guardian review called this sequel “twice as long and only half as good” as The Rosie Project, but I actually enjoyed it just about as much as the original. In a new NYC setting, Rosie’s unplanned pregnancy has Don Tillman – and everyone else around him – assessing his suitability for fatherhood. He manages to supplement his textbook knowledge of obstetrics with some bizarre practical experience, such as assisting with a lesbian parenting study and having a hand in a (...
Not quite as good as the first one, but still pretty solid
Don Tillman what a guy. Graeme Simsion what a guy. I attended the Sydney launch of this book, so was really happy and interested to hear the background story of the author, and how The Rosie Project was bought to life, as well as this lovely second half. Don Tillman is such a quirky character, that I can see it took someone as equally charming and full of life as the author to bring this character into our lives, so many lives as it has - it's a very popular set of books and fans around the worl...
After reading Chapter 1 of "The Rosie Project " on a plane, I turned to my friend and said, "you've got to read the first chapter of this book, right now!" pausing to allow him to read it. It was just so "laugh out loud" funny! So, when I heard that there was going to be a sequel (Don Tillman #2), I did something that I rarely do...I "preordered" it!! A few friends, ended up reading it first, and as the "less than stellar" reviews started coming in, it continued to sit on my GoodReads "to read"
I am such an asshole. I think I was among the minority of readers who wasn’t blown away by The Rosie Project. I thought that it was rather sweet at times, but the character development didn't always feel natural. Even taking into consideration the idea that you have to compromise and address personal issues before you can be successful with relationships, the changes the characters underwent for the sake of the plot just struck me as stretching credulity a little too much. So if The Rosie Projec...
As you may be able to tell from my status updates, I was a little frustrated with Rosie in this book. In turn that made me think perhaps this sequel was less enjoyable than the original, but the more I think about it, the more convinced I am that this book is just as good if not better than The Rosie Project. I was just taken for a loop because this book seemed so much more “real” than the first, and real life is hard and awkward and rage inducing.Its possible that I was being too hard on Rosie,...
This was an amusing sequel to The Rosie Project. The socially awkward scientist Don Tillman and his wife, Rosie, are now living in New York and expecting a baby. Don is worried he won't be a good father, so he sets out to get some parenting experience, which leads to a few disasters and damages his relationship with Rosie. Luckily, Don has some friends who can help him resolve the misunderstandings. This plot hit a lot of the same notes as the first book, including how Don uses his idiosyncrasie...
