Our lovable genetics professor Don Tillman did the impossible in finding the perfect wife for himself, but he is unsure of how to proceed when Rosie announces that she is expecting. Review: The Rosie Effect is an enjoyable sequel full of heart and humor but also quite serious than its predecessor, The Rosie Project. I am now in danger of prosecution, deportation, professional disgrace, and of losing Rosie forever. I have attempted to follow traditional protocols and have sourced advice from all six of my friends, plus a therapist and the internet. Then Rosie told me we had 'something to celebrate', and I was faced with a challenge even greater than finding a partner. We abandoned the Standardised Meal System and agreed that sex should not be scheduled in advance. When we relocated to New York City, Rosie brought three maximum-size suitcases. Marriage added significant complexity to my life. I have been married to Rosie Jarman, world's most perfect woman, for ten months and ten days. I do very much hope that Graeme Simsion has another Don Tillman book up his sleeve.Description: Greetings. Most follow up books are a pale shadow of the original, but this one is an exception and is a triumphant return of one of the most delightful characters in fiction.
Dan O’Grady narrates Don’s story again and makes this the perfect way to enjoy this wonderful addition to the Rosie series. On top of this, some of the discussions between Don and his scientist friend Gene about the relationship between nature and nurture are very thought provoking, and so this is so much more than a simple knockabout comedy.
Just like the first book this is hilarious and poignant in equal measure. Although he now has the beautiful Rosie as his wife, his hold on happiness is precarious and after a series of unfortunate events he finds himself in danger of losing it all. Don continues to navigate the complexities of his daily life equipped with the brain of a brilliant scientist but hampered by a very quirky emotional intelligence receptor.
