The Rosie Effect by Graeme Simsion

The Rosie result by Graeme Simsion

September 23, 2022 by Travis_J_Smith Leave a Comment

Here go the hate reads! I needed to know if Don ever came to the patently obvious realization that he’s autistic, and if Rosie ever cuts herself free from that knot before he finds a way to hang her from it. Mostly, though, I just wanted to see if these books could possibly get worse still and the answer to that question is a resounding yes. And if you’re wondering if spoilers follow, the answer to that question is also yes. SPOILER WARNING! First, there’s The […]

Oh no….

The Rosie Project by Graeme Simsion

September 14, 2022 by Travis_J_Smith Leave a Comment

Oh no. Oh nooo. It’s a series. Those were my exact words upon doing a cursory Google search prior to starting this review. In prepping to tear into The Rosie Project, I learned that there are two follow-ups that I don’t think my morbid curiosity will let me not read. To answer my previous question of if I’m a masochist: yes. Why else would I suffer through multiple seasons of dreadful Dexter and Archer simply because I’d already devoted so many years of my time to the shows? Why […]

“When you realise you want to spend the rest of your life with somebody, you want the rest of your life to start as soon as possible.”

The Rosie Project by Graeme Simsion

July 21, 2020 by Malin Leave a Comment

#CBR12 Bingo: White Whale (on my TBR list since early 2014) (Would also work for Cannonballer Says, Debut, or Red or Yellow – depending on what edition of the novel you are reading) Don Tillman lives his life on a fairly rigid schedule. He eats the same things every week, he has set aside a certain amount of time for work, exercise, cleaning his flat and so forth, and any deviations that force him to change the schedule makes him annoyed. He doesn’t socialise much, except for the […]

The Rosie Project – Charming new take on a classic “will they won’t they”

The Rosie Project by Graeme Simsion

February 9, 2019 by ardaigle 1 Comment

The monthly selection for my local library book club was new to me, and I went into it with an arched eyebrow and a prepared groan: a romance. Not my chosen genre, and one often prone to crazy plot climaxes and “will they won’t they but you know they will” feet dragging. So, I entered prepared and preordained not to like this book, but was pleasantly surprised to find it charming and a new take on an old standard. Through subtle plot devices we are, […]

My fluffy summer read

September 3, 2018 by llp Leave a Comment

I am pretty sure I saw this book recommended on Twitter or something similar, something associated with CBR. I don’t read very much romance, but always want to try something new to me and this seemed like a good summer fluff book. This book was so fun! The Rosie Project was published in 2013, so I assume lots of people have already read this and I am just late, but I am glad to have found it now. Our lead is an Australian genetics professor […]

Just One More Strike Against Standardized Tests

March 13, 2015 by Jenny S Leave a Comment

If you crossed The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night Time with a Jennifer Crusie romance, you might end up with something like this novel. Simsion tells the story of Don Tillman, a genetics professor at a university in Australia, whose precisely ordered and scheduled life and lack of social awareness suggest to the reader that he’s on the spectrum, long before Don comes out and says it directly. Don decides he needs to find a wife so he develops a questionnaire that […]
