Nice follow up
I still prefer The Rosie Project, but this was an interesting read. I got a little tired of the misunderstandings, miscommunications, and resulting tough situations in which Don would find himself, but maybe that was the point? I assume people on the Autism spectrum have issues navigating life that result in unexpected consequences. Hopefully not as extreme as what happened to Don. Overall it was a worthwhile read.

Don reminds me alot of Sheldon from the Big Bang Theory, very tastes and similarities. I personally do not enjoy BBT which resulted in me not enjoying this read. I found the first two thirds of the book dry and repetitive. The ending was dull and left the reading guessing.
Between 3 and 4 stars, but I'm feeling generous today. Not as good as the original but still an enjoyable read.

I really enjoyed the Rosie Project, but this sequel seemed like a bit of a rehash. It failed to feel as fresh and innovative as the first book. I guess the author is planning a whole series of books about Don. I am not sure I feel invested enough to follow this character through any more books.
Cute continuation to the Rosie Effect. The situations that Don finds himself in are hysterical and I enjoyed finding out how it all resolved itself.
Really liked the Rosie Project (read several years ago), so picked up this sequel, however, it's largely unsatisfying -- Don's foibles & personality are still mildly entertaining & amusing & occasionally touching, but the book is pretty long and it's like a one-trick pony trying the same trick over and over again.
