The Rosie Effect

3.45 AVERAGE


Alweer een bevestiging dat vervolgen nooit tippen aan het eerste boek. Het Rosie Effect is langdradig en de humor is zoals in een slechte komedie: zo goedkoop dat het zelfs geen mondhoekkrulling ontlokt.

2.5; didn't like as much as the first.

Wonderful and very humorous, but not as a strong as the first book. Still an enjoyable read. Laughed quite a bit.

nada de especial, o fim pareceu demasiado "chick flick" em que tudo (aka um casamento que já anda a falhar desde o meio da história) se resolve com um pequeno gesto (o gajo brinca com Uma criança). not to mention que achei o conflito demasiado forçado, ou se calhar demasiado complexo para aquilo que o autor queria fazer, pelo que pareceu superficial e não natural. mas prontos, não é mau de todo, tem umas piadinhas no meio

Disappointing after such a great first book. Same tired scenarios and very contrived.

Okay, kind of drug in places.

lzad's review against another edition

DID NOT FINISH

Don was no longer quirky but unbearable.  The book had absolutely no charm

3.5 stars
3 stars for the plot and 4 stars for Don (I can't help it, I love him as a character).

I didn't like this quite as much as the first book but it was still very good. I enjoyed being in Don's head again.

it was ok but not as cute as the first one

The Rosie Effect by Graeme Simsion is a sequel and assumes knowledge of The Rosie Project. This book does not have the joy and humor that the first book did. Perhaps, that is the nature of life. The first book was about the first rush of romance with its rose-colored glasses; this book is about life in a relationship, with its ups and downs and its dose of reality. Either way, this one's a little disappointing after the first.
