In the 3rd book of the series we have moved on 11 years and the baby in the second book is in his final year at primary school. Don is keen that he finds a way to fit in at school and has a happier time than he had experienced.
I have found all three books a fascinating insight into how people with autism see the world and how neurotypical people expect them fit in..

The best one yet!
I just love this 'Rosie' series, by far the best books and series I have ever read.
I am going to miss Don, Rosie and Hudson, the characters were so alive and jumped from the pages.
Reading this series, I found I could not stop talking about it to my friends and family.
The author handled what can be a sensitive topic very well I feel, I learnt a lot myself in reading this.
Please can we have a book number 4- pretty please?

Don is back! Now living in Melbourne with is his wife Rosie and their 11 year old son Hudson who is struggling at school, he is socially awkward and doesn't fit in. Join this lovable, quirky and entertaining cast of characters as they embark on helping Hudson. Simsion ask's whether we should label children 'autistic' and whether anyone should be made to 'fit in'. It big hearted, funny and leaves you with that warm fuzzy feeling, the perfect conclusion to the series. You don't need to have read the other books in the series to enjoy this one (but you would be doing yourself a disservice!).


Thanks to Penguin Books UK & Netgalley for sending me this in exchange for an open and honest review.

This is a fantastic end to the series! I have thoroughly enjoyed the trilogy and I'm glad that the writing and the characters remained wonderful to read throughout this final novel. A brilliantly uplifting book to make you fall in love with these books all over again.

A fantastic conclusion to the trilogy!

Don is a scientist with Aspergers and his relationship with Rosie is just wonderful. Especially considering where Don started out from, and all the hurdles he had to overcome. Seeing him now with his child, and still going strong with Rosie after 13 years made me love him even more. Personally, I love it when kids are part of a story. Even better if the kid is like Hudson, a mini Don, with all his complexities.

Don and Hudson are characters who struggle with every day occurrences, social niceties, and an overall way of thinking differently in a world that isn’t very forgiving or tolerant.

The Rosie Result is all about Don trying to make Hudson’s life at school easier. The way he goes about this is heart warming and so “Don”. Hudson, eleven years old, has a mind of his own, and a very strong personality. And I loved how the author took the offerings and advice of a village to resolve it all.

Don’s problem solving as always made me grin and chuckle. He still struggles with some aspects but he has Rosie to guide him when unsure. I truly love their relationship. The outspokenness, openness, and honesty between them works wonders.

Also incredibly fascinating was the interaction between school and parents, all the small dramas and school politics, especially in regards to Autism. It was a bit eye-opening too if I’m honest. But I loved how united Don and Rosie were in all things Hudson. I could talk for hours about the way Don and Rosie made me smile whenever they played good cop and bad cop – at least their version of it.

Really enjoyed this. A bit different form the norm and much more engaging as a result. Nicely written and an author I would love to follow.

Four and a half stars!!
Having read The Rosie Project and enjoyed it I was delighted to receive a digital copy of The Rosie Result to review before publication. I had not realised that I had missed a second in the series, The Rosie Effect, and will be rushing to the library to get a copy. The Rosie Result was a wonderful read from start to finish - it made me laugh, it made me cry and made me so much more aware of the difficulties people on the Autism spectrum face - not so much from their own problems (which I think is not always a problem for them) but the way they are perceived and (mis)treated. This was so cleverly written with wonderful characters drawn in such a way they were often superior to those around them. The episodes that Hudson faced at school were very telling! Graeme Simsion has almost made Asperger's/Autism an acceptable and positive condition - what a wonderful achievement! I can only hope that Don and Rosie - and Hudson - will make a reappearance some time in the future!
Very many thanks to Netgalley/Graeme Simsion/Penguin UK for a digital copy of this title. All opinions expressed are my own.

absolutely loving this book, I'm writing this review halfway through, so I can't comment on the ending - I get the impression from other reviews it is satisfying, but I'm enjoying the reading too much to want it to end. I haven't read the first 2 instalments, but this is good, funny and thought-provoking enough to make me want to buy them immediately. Recommended.

THE ROSIE RESULT .
After my recent post apocalyptic read (The Dreamers), I was looking for something a little bit more uplifting. And I’m so pleased I picked this one up 🙌🏻
The final instalment of The Rosie series, THE ROSIE RESULT sees Professor Don Tillman navigating a complicated work situation, Rosie with a challenging co worker, and their awesome 11 year old son Hudson navigate the complicated point between primary and secondary school. Set in Melbourne, this novel is laugh out loud funny.
.
Don makes scientific considered life decisions, and approaches everything with such certainly, that it comes as a surprise when things go wrong. He is such a loveable character, bumbling through challenge after challenge. Always remaining positive and upbeat, this uplifting novel was exactly what I needed to read 🤗
.
It’s a novel about fatherhood. About stereotypes and labelling, and conformity. But also about surprising everyone around you, and succeeding. And the importance of just being you.
I loved the characters, I loved their story, and I recommend The Rosie Result.
.
It’s being published on the 4th April.
Thank you netgalley and penguinrandomhouse for the advanced readers copy in exchange for an honest review

This book continues the story of how Don Tillman navigates through life and it's complicated societal rules. he is married to Rosie and they have a son Hudson, nearing the end of his junior school year.

The third in a trilogy, I was really excited to be given an opportunity to read an advance copy, as I thoroughly enjoyed the previous two books. This one tried hard to match the quirky humour and brilliance of the previous two, but I thought it never quite did. Having said that, I did thoroughly enjoy reading it and catching up on the family.

This time Don is trying to support his son Hudson who may have traits of autism, find out how to be accepted in school life and what is 'normal' in society. The way these views are challenged is really enlightening and Hudson's results and the way he resolves the situation are very entertaining.

I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this book to everyone.

I read the Rosie Project when it first came out and absolutely loved it. I read it twice as it was our book club choice and would I happily have read it all over again. I was delighted when the second book came out, and now I thank #NetGalley, Graeme Simsion and Penguin UK for the opportunity to read book three. It was like getting together with an old friend and having a good old catch-up.
The characters, plot and humour were all present, along with the authors exceptional understanding of autism.
If you haven't read the first two books - do, You won't regret it. The Rosie Result does stand alone however, so don't let it put you off if you haven't.
I feel sad that we now leave Don and Rosie, as this is the last book. I will miss them.

Fabulous book- Certainly enjoyed reading this.
Highly recommended
Thank you to both NetGalley and Penguin UK for my eARC in exchange for my honest unbiased review

This book describes the ongoing journey of Professor Don Tillman and his wife Rosie. They now have a son 'Hudson@ who is 11 years old and at the beginning of the story are living in New York. Due to changing circumstances they move back to Australia and 'The Hudson Project' begins following difficulties noted at his new school. In the acknowledgements for the book Graeme Simsion indicates that '"The last few years have seen a significant escalation of the discussion around autism and in the participation of autistic people in that discussion." In writing this book this subject has been examined. Questions such as whether or not a diagnosis or label of autism is a good or a bad thing and why should a person with autism have to fit in with the norms of society are asked. I enjoyed the book and following the ups and downs, highs and lows in this family with the support offered from their friends. It was a great read and very thought provoking.

Sheer brilliance. I read the first of these books when it came out and loved it, then missed the second entirely. I am now going to go back and read them as an entire trilogy. Beautiful characterisation, fabulous writing. The highest of recommendations.

I guess the best illustration of how I felt about this book is this: I read 2 chapters then bought the previous 2 books in the series so I could read Don’s whole journey from the beginning.
This one was probably the least humorous of the 3, but still enjoyable, there is so much more to these books than the comedic elements. Whether you know anything or nothing about autism or “the spectrum”, there is a lot here to inform, entertain and emote. There is a significant passage of time between each book and I do wish we had been able to enjoy Don and Rosie’s experience of dealing with a new-born or toddler. However, the story recommences with Don observing his 11-year-old son’s behaviour and reflecting on his own experiences at that age, which do at times influence his actions. Hudson certainly is a super character and I could see his journey to high school and beyond being its own book.

I have loved all the books in this series and this one is no exception. Read them in order to fully get the background.
Don is a great character who wants the best for his family. He always acts with honesty and integrity, which makes the reader think and laugh in equal measure.
All of the characters are well developed and make us feel like we know them. I already miss them even though I only finished the book a few minutes ago!

This is the third in a series of books written by the author, Graeme Simsion. I must confess that I haven’t read either of the previous two novels,‘The Rosie Project’ or ‘The Rosie Effect’, however, this - “The Rosie Result” - proved to be a fantastic read. Whilst I may well have benefited from reading the other two first, for me, it worked fine as a stand-alone story.

Don Tillman is a genetics professor with a scientific approach to everything. However, he's about to face a set of human dilemmas tougher than the trickiest of equations…

Graeme Simsion’s portrayal of Don was exceptional with regard to his autistic tendencies and higher than average intelligence. There are many wry and witty moments, however, there is very little in this novel about Rosie’s personality.

This humorous tale about living with autism was a great and hilarious read with lots of special moments and touching scenes. It is particularly poignant if you know anyone with autism, as you'll certainly recognise some of the scenarios!

Having read and enjoyed “The Rosie Result” I will make sure to get to the other books in the series.

{Thank you to #NetGalley and Penguin UK/ Michael Joseph for the free copy of #TheRosieResult and for giving me the opportunity to provide an honest review.}

Somewhat back to front, the Rosie Result is the first of the Rosie series I have read, and I was captivated, moved and entertained by this extremely well-written and researched book which manages to take a sensitive topic affecting many families and treat it with compassion, insight and humour.
The characters are well-developed, and the plot is sufficiently self-contained, and referenced to previous occurrences, even for someone who has not read the earlier books, that there is no sense of lack of history. It is a beautiful balance of tackling important issues and a fine account of family life and personal growth, with a mix of pathos, lightness and accurate details.
Perhaps the most telling outcome is that on completing The Rosie Result, I went straight off to buy the first two volumes, The Rosie Project and The Rosie Result, both of which are equally full of laughter, nd kept me reading well into the small hours.
Graeme Simsion is a most accomplished author and I hope he continues his series.

Another wonderful, laugh out loud instalment in the life of Don & Rosie - and now, of course, their mini-Don son, Hudson. An absolute joy. I’m a total Don & Rosie devotee and I can’t believe this is the end of the story. We really need to know how Hudson gets on in High school. So one more at least please - and then some. If Alexander McCall Smith can keep 44 Scotland St going to book 12 and beyond then Graeme can surely manage a fourth story to keep these wonderful characters alive and well for a few years more. .

This is the third book in the series and has a sense of finality to it, and I do not think the author would probably build on this any further. It can be read as a standalone since most of the previous data is repeated at some point but that would mean a lesser bond or connection to the characters

Just like the time between the previous book and this, significant time has lapsed in Don's life. They have lived in New York for twelve years now and have an eleven year old son. Their son takes after his father in the need for order and systems that make logical sense to him as well as the social awkwardness. He therefore does not deal well with a complete move all the way back to Australia. There is a lot of interaction between the varying members of the cast that we have been introduced to in the previous tales and they have not gotten any less entertaining in the years since we last saw them.

There is a lot of heart in this one as Don and Rosie as a parental unit and Don as a father (we do not have access to Rosie's private thoughts so we cannot actually know what she thinks) as well as finally having that hovering conversation about autism that was introduced all the way back when Don gave his speech in the first book and continues to wait in the background all this time. There is a lot of reflection about motives and expectations all the things related to those emotions. People who are family get involved in trying to help Hudson get to a place where he would be happy with the life he is leading. I shed a lot of tears and mentally cheered many instances and revelations and thoroughly enjoyed this book. I would highly recommend it to anyone who wants to read a feel good book with heartwarming characters.
