Ik weet niet zeker of het komt doordat mijn smaak is veranderd, ik de vorige boeken te lang geleden heb gelezen of dat dit boek gewoon minder goed is, maar dit boek vond ik tegenvallen. Het was okey, snel door te lezen en af en toe heb ik zeker gegniffeld. Maar geen een keer hardop gelachen zoals bij de vorige boeken. Ik voelde weinig verbinding met het verhaal en de hoofdpersonen in tegenstelling tot de eerder boeken. Jammer, maar gelukkig heb ik hem geleend van de bieb in plaats van te kopen wat eerst mijn plan was.

Another great book by Simsion.
I've loved all the Rosie books and this is another that didn't disappoint. As Don changes careers and things are changing for Hudson who is now eleven. This story is a laugh out loud fiction, as Don and Rosie navigate their way through parenthood, opening a cocktail bar, and coping with Hudson who is extremely like his father. It also touches on other important topics - to label or not to label, is medicating children the answer, how can we cope with anxiety, and should all children be made to fit in?
Clear your diaries before reading this, as once you've started you won't want to stop.

Loved revisiting Don and Rosie several years on. Their son Hudson is now 11 years old, and struggling with fitting in at school. Don is having his own problems at work, and decides to quit his job to take on ‘The Hudson Project’.
I loved this book, with its themes of parent-child relationships, autism, fitting in, forgiveness and growing up. Such an insightful series; I’d recommend them all.

The Rosie Result is the final book in the Rosie trilogy. It fast-forwards eleven years from the end of The Rosie Effect. Don and Rosie are raising their son Hudson, who seems to have inherited Don’s quirks. His school is pressing Don and Rosie to have him tested for autism, but Don decides to take matters into his own hands first.
There is a lot going on in this final installment of the Rosie series. In addition to dealing with Hudson possibly having autism, both Don and Rosie are having trouble at their workplaces. Hudson has made friends with a girl at his school who has albinism and Don with her mother. That family has their share of problems as well. The theme of The Rosie Result is misunderstandings. It was a little stressful reading it, while everyone was trying to figure out what was really going on! But, it was also enjoyable because that’s where the humor came from.
While The Rosie Effect was a tad disappointing, The Rosie Result is on par with The Rosie Project. I feel like Don, Rosie and I are friends now and it’s been fun to watch them grow as people throughout the series.

This book lacked the charm of the first two books in the series. The author took what has been a quirky series and tried to change it into a lesson on autism. Meanwhile, I can’t figure out why everyone seemed so concerned with Hudson’s behavior in the first place. The teacher thinks he is autistic because he’s bad at sports?
The main character in all, Don, is a Sheldon-from-Big-Bang type character, a very analytical thinker, and in this book he and his wife are presented with their child having difficulty in school. Because of how Don’s brain works, his solutions for problems are different than most(though affective) and it makes for an enjoyable story with a sweet ending.
This is the third book in a series. It could stand alone, but I recommend reading all three. I read them a while ago, but remember loving the first, feeling meh about the second, now I’ve really enjoyed this third.

Don Tillman, geneticist and problem solver is back for the final book in this series. Don is married to Rosie, and has a son named Hudson. The family relocated from New York to Australia due to Rosie’s new job and Hudson is having a hard time navigating the school system , as well as making friends. To add to the troubles, Rosie is having some challenges with a coworker, and Don is in hot water after a lecture goes off the rails. When he gives up his job to focus more on Hudson, he is forced to do some self reflection, and of course open a cocktail bar.
I really enjoyed Hudson in this book. His bluntness definitely had me laughing, as does Don. It’s not an easy road trying to advocate for your children, but I feel the characters in this story did a good job doing this. I enjoyed this series, but this book was my least favourite. I laughed at times but just lacked the connection with the characters that the previous books provided me for some reason. I did love how committed Don was to helping Hudson, his lessons for him really made me smile.
