I really wanted to love this book, and as for the beginning and the end, I did. Don's quirks and projects were just as amusing as the first book, and I didn't feel like he was overdone at all, as other reviewers felt. What made it a 3 star for me was Rosie. She was passive-aggressive, moody, and unable to see that she was as much of a contributor to their relationship problems as Don was. She had already made her mind up about him before giving him a chance. I found this incredibly frustrating, and untrue to her character. I can't elaborate any more without giving spoilers, but it has been a long time since I've been so intensely frustrated with a character. I really hope there is a third book, because Rosie needs to redeem herself. And I of course want more Don Tillman!
Good...probably 3.5 stars, but not as good as the first one.
I enjoyed this in the sense that it was entertaining and rattled along - but I kept getting disconnected from the story by how shallow a character Rosie was- I get that Don is emotionally repressed but we couldn't get to know her at all. Also I was a bit blindsided by the rapid way the potential dissolution of the marriage was totally solved at the end for reasons I didn't really understand... Because Don ran off to save George's son?
Still loved Don, but Rosie was getting kind of annoying at some times.
Meh. I really wish I would not have wasted my time. Painful.
Although it didn't have the same freshness and originality of the first book (which would be expected), I still found it to be a fast read and I enjoyed seeing the next chapter in the Rosie and Don journey. Still fun and still different from a lot of other fiction and I feel like the author's ability to develop the characters continued strongly.
The perfect humorous distraction that I needed this weekend as my world and the world in general both seem to be spiralling out of control.
Could the central protagonist, Don Tillman, apply his analytical and scientific approach to the pending birth of "BUD" to give us all hope of achieving world peace and harmony?

Too much of the author trying to follow a pattern from the first book. Not nearly enjoyable.
I loved the first book, but this one fell flat for me.
Nothing can top The Rosie Project, not even the sequel - but it was a grand attempt. Don and Rosie's story continues in a new town with new friends and new obstacles. With book 1 now getting a movie screenplay make over, book 2 is destined for the best sellers list
