A wry and, at times, funny look at a family dealing with autism. Rounding off the series in typical fashion this book doesn’t disappoint.

I suspect you will need to have read the other 2 books as Don and their son Hudson take centre stage, not so much about Rosie.

Balanced and well written

A wryly humorous take on living with autism

I haven't read The Rosie Project or The Rosie Effect, but this book works well as a stand-alone. However, you don't find out much about Rosie herself here, although her decisions are instrumental to the plot. Her husband is Professor of Genetics in an American university. From the first page, you recognise both his high intelligence and his autistic traits: literal answers to questions, love of routine and a certain amount of social ineptitude. Their ten year old son, Hudson, has these same traits.

When Rosie accepts a new medical research job, the family relocate to Australia. Don takes on the role of house-husband. This enables him to teach Hudson the survival skills he wishes he had been taught during his own miserable school years. This is where most of the humour lies. We see Don trying to teach Hudson everything from accepting the fact that his Dad would now be taking on his Mum's role (by trapping him in their Porsche where he has no option but to listen) to helping him learn to ride his bike (in a remote location, where he won't be spotted by anyone from school).

A good read with lots of fun moments and touching scenes, but a bit slow at times. If you know a person with autism, you'll certainly recognise some of the scenarios!

A fantastically quirky conclusion to the Rosie series. I’ve read the first two books some time ago and enjoyed the premise and the story. This book rounds off the series well. Highly entertaining and well written giving the perspective to see the world from a different view point. I’ll miss the Tillman’s!

I didn't realise this was the third in a trilogy. I'll make it my business to look out the other two books. I enjoyed this very much and hope the other two live up to this standard. It was well written and engaging and I loved the characters.

Thank you to NetGalley and to the publisher for allowing me to read a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Amusing and readable but doesn’t quite have the magic of the other two in the series. Still, there are worse ways to spend the evening and a couple of bits made me laugh out loud.

Thank you to NetGalley for this book.

I am so happy that there was a 3rd book in the series and that we could catch up with Don and see his world from a more advanced perspective than the first books.

He and Rosie have been married for 13 years and have a 10 year old son, Hudson. They move back to Australia and this is where the book primarily takes part.

There are many characters from the previous books that turn up - like Claudia and Dave.

Hudson is having some issues at school so Don makes a project of helping Hudson learn more life skills to navigate the world and feel better in himself when dealing with school and fellow students. This has some good and bad results.

This is one of those novels that will make you laugh, and cry, and it’s a feel good book but with a lot of substance. It’s a good series to read if you’re interested on works about people on the spectrum.

I was delighted to read the final instalment in the Rosie trilogy. Words cannot convey how entertaining this book is. It kept me laughing from start to finish with its quirky humour and great characters. Don and Rosie now have a son, Hudson who is definitely his fathers son. This book is focused around Hudson’s difficulties from being on the spectrum but it all ends well in the end. If you want a book that you won’t be able to put down then this is the book for you.

This is the third book in ‘The Rosie Project ‘ series of books and I was pleased to rejoin Don and Rosie. It felt like I was meeting up with old friends and I had forgotten how much I enjoyed their company. This is a jump forward in time and their son Hudson is the main focus of this story. The similarities between Don and his son are impossible to miss, giving us a close up view of the difficulties he has (and Don had) in school, where being different doesn’t go down well.
I loved the book, as I have loved the other two in the series. I was disappointed to finish and I’ve no idea if Graeme Simsion intends to write any more ‘Rosie ‘ books but I’d be delighted if he did.
I thoroughly recommend them all!

As a huge fan of the two previous outings of Professor Don Tillman, his wife, Rosie and their various friends and family members, I was hugely excited and full of anticipation to re-engage with what are for me, much-loved characters. I was not disappointed in any way. Don's quirky and original voice is as engaging as in the prior novels The Rosie Project and The Rosie Effect. This final novel in the trilogy focuses largely on Don and Rosie's son, Hudson, who shares many of his father's traits, and we follow their journey as Don helps Hudson to navigate his way through his teenage years and an often confusing 'neurotypical' world. Hudson, like Don, is possibly autistic, and through their interactions, the reader is able to see a new side to Don, a side which is compelling and a fitting conclusion to the trajectory of his journey from a socially isolated bachelor to married family man.

Having been a big fan of The Rosie Project when it came out, I approached this book with both anticipation and trepidation. Could Graeme Simsion manage to write a third book as good as the first? I needn’t have worried - it was obvious from the first few pages that The Rosie Result was going to be just as big a hit as Don tries to complete a performance review form, and the rest of the book continued in the same fashion.

Time has moved on - Don and Rosie have been married for 13 years (his choice of gift for their lace anniversary made me laugh aloud) and have an eleven year old son, Hudson. He is struggling at school and only has one friend. The school want him to be assessed for autism but Don and Rosie resist. Can Don, with a little help from his friends, help Hudson learn the life skills necessary to fit in?

A real page turner that I didn’t want to put down.

I loved the first book The Rosie Project, missed the second and jumped straight back in with the third which had all the charm of the first.

A really great 4 star read which I'll be recommending to others.

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for my ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Don's latest adventure!

Reading The Rosie Result was a real joy, with all the fanfare. There are a lot of surprises in this one but Don is, as ever, the quirky gentleman who finds himself in one mishap after another. He remains misunderstood- frequently. But we also see growth: the funny kind that you only achieve after embarrassment or, a Don-Tillman-kind-of-disaster!

Don's wife, Rosie, a doctor in psychology, has come to expect 'constant craziness' from Don. But in this one, it's fair to say, we are all surprised by the blows he's dealt and how he navigates them. We meet some new characters, and are reunited with the old, but the 'constant craziness' remains at optimum level.

There's a crazy lot to laugh about in this one, but a lot more to learn. How Simsion manages to flesh out his characters, so entirely, is beyond me! Don possesses such rare insight and self-awareness, so when he does make a mistake it is doubly hilarious. Indeed, I'm sure that by this point, readers will be able to ask 'What Would Don Do?' We have plenty of material to work with!

...All the witty, and well-timed, one liners; Don's attempts at telling jokes; his ability to start afresh- it made this a fantastic book. Uplifting, minus any condescension, and a story as memorable as the two that came before.

One of the best book-series out there!

I received this title through Netgalley for review consideration.

I thought the first book of the series “The Rosie Project” was amazing and is one of my all-time favourites. I was pleased to read this latest episode in Don Tillman’s life as he helps his son ‘fit in’ to what he thinks is expected. A great book that gives insight into the way an autistic person may see the world. Not as good as the first book but I am so pleased I read it. A must for all Don Tillman fans.

The final installment of the Rosie Project, and I feel that this was a great ending. When I read the Rosie Effect I was, to be honest, disappointed. I felt it tried too hard, felt a bit flat, but this was a return to all of Don Tilman's finest glory. And I felt that Graeme Simsion also really cleverly addressed sensitive issues that unless we are directly affected by then, don't often think about too much.

It's over a decade since we left the Rosie Effect, and Hudson is now a sprightly 11 year old, full of personality, charm and quirks, lots and lots of quirks. The family are adjusting to moving back to Australia so that Rosie can prioritise her career. But Hudson's ability to adapt is somewhat lacking, and so the Hudson Adjustment Project begins. It helps that Don finds himself in some deep water, and a change in situation is required.

What I loved here is the mirror images that are created between characters, and the personal growth of all of the characters, however big or small. This is a laugh out loud finish, and a perfect end to what has been a wonderful story of finding yourself.

I adore the "Rosie" series and I am so sad this is the last installment. Please consider adding more to the series! I would love to find out what happens to Hudson as he starts secondary school and grows into a young adult.

Don's character is one of my favourites in contemporary fiction and I will miss him tremendously. The third installment of the series focuses on Don's son, Hudson, as he experiences issues fitting in at school. Having experienced similar issues himself, Don takes it upon himself to teach Hudson what he's learned.

Lots of adventures ensue including Don getting involved in a scandal that spreads across social media, and then quitting his job and opening a cocktail bar. I loved this book and thought it was excellently written and well paced.

I’m a huge fan of the Rosie series of books so I was so excited for this- the third instalment. I love our narrator Dons voice, it reminds me so much of Sheldon from the Big Bang Theory. I was a bit worried to begin with that his ‘voice’ seemed to have got lost- it didn’t seem as strong as in the first two novels, but a few chapters in and it started to come through more. This book centres on a move to Australia for Rosie’s work, and on trying to help their 11 year old son hudson fit in at school and be happy. Lots of hilarity, misunderstands and special moments ensues. A great book that really focuses on how we treat each other and whether we should be expecting people to fit in or whether we should be changing our expectations.

I loved this book and found it really interesting. I loved The Rosie Project and The Rosie Effect so I had high hopes for this one. I like the relationships between the main characters and between Don and Hudson. There was some humour in the book which I liked and I found the information about autism interesting. I would recommend this book.

The Rosie Result is the third novel about Don Tillman and his now wife Rosie. We jump forward with them ten years, and Don has new projects - trying to help his son, Hudson, fit in at school; setting up a cocktail bar; and not getting sacked after the Genetics Lecture Outrage. In this final book of the trilogy recounting his life, Don is as charming and hilarious a narrator as ever and seeing the world through his eyes remains a delight.

While not quite matching the brilliant concept of the first novel where we met Don, seeing him deal with the challenges of fatherhood is still worthwhile. Graeme Simsion once again has brought to life a brilliant cast of characters and written so beautifully about relationships - particularly between Don and Hudson, Don and his father, and Hudson and his friends - that they feel utterly real. A lovely story that I read greedily.

A disappointing conclusion to the 'Rosie' books. Should have left it at one book. This book had it's ok moments but for the most part it dragged and just didn't hold my interest.

The Rosie Result is the finale of Graeme Simsion’s Rosie trilogy.

The story finds Don and Rosie, together with their adolescent son Hudson, relocating from New York to Australia.

The Rosie Result details a journey of change – new jobs, new challenges, new friends, alongside a journey for discovery for Hudson as he explores where he might sit on the autistic spectrum.

If you enjoyed the first two Rosie books you’ll probably enjoy this one too – but I also think it’s a good place to leave Rosie and the Tillman household, and that the story has run its time.
