Having worked with a number of students and adults with Asperger’s Syndrome, I fell completely in love with THE ROSIE PROJECT and its perfect representation of the logos, ethos, and beautiful pathos of Professor Don Tillman. This sequel, aptly named THE ROSIE EFFECT, is a very different story, but no less interesting to tell or rewarding to read.Rosie and Don are living in NYC, where Rosie is elbows deep in the challenge of a joint MD-PhD program at Columbia University, where Don is a visiting professor and researcher. Once again written in first-person limited point of view, we only know Don’s side of the story, and what a story it is! His shenanigans are as complex and convoluted as we came to expect in THE ROSIE PROJECT, and author Graeme Simsion once again displays his brilliance at weaving crazily-cascaded series’ of events as only Don Tillman could possibly create them. Don’s true troubles begin when Rosie announces that she’s pregnant. It’s been hard enough for Don to adjust to his role as husband and defender, particularly when Rosie expects him to face down neighbors with whom she argues, and Don is struggling to handle multiple issues and avoid a personality “meltdown”…his greatest fear, which rears its head when he is at the end of his ability to cope. Whatever Rosie’s expectations were (when she announced her pregnancy to Don) we never actually learn, since she does not articulate them. We watch as poor Don falls down the rabbit hole, trying to understand why Rosie is becoming more and more aloof. Their communication breaks down so miserably that there is more lie than truth, and eventually they retire to separate bedrooms. Don engages the help of a ragtag band of brothers—his three male friends (he’s making progress!
The Rosie Effect is the highly anticipated sequel to the extraordinary book The Rosie Project by the hugely talented Graeme Simsion. The book continues with the weird, wild and hilarious story of the highly intelligent and socially awkward professor Don Tillman who found his perfect woman at the end of the last book. It may be pertinent to mention that Don’s wife Rosie is fruit of his hard labor – The Rosie Project.
After a memorable wedding ceremony in lovely church in Australia, the story continues with the couple relocating to New York city with Don taking up a position at Columbia University Medical School and Rosie working on her Doctorate thesis. As they settled down to a new life in a new city, the ever-efficient Don is slowly adapting to a new life and his role as a husband, meticulously planning for the future when a cheerful Rosie drops a bombshell. The news of her pregnancy came as a bolt from the blue and Don struggles to digest the news. Don being our Don, he makes a mental note of all the problems that will come along with a baby. It threatens to unravel all his plans, and now their lives will never be the same again. Come on, our guy was so shaken he took a day off from work and concentrated on making a list for the Baby Project. Is this a cue for the book?
The Rosie Effect by Graeme Simsion, much like The Rosie Project, is an idiosyncratic and witty novel with well-conceived and almost too-real characters, and a delightful story that will make you laugh all the way to the last page. Author Graeme Simsion has created in Don and Rosie characters who are truly unique, most comical and totally cool in their own rights.
