Silly fun. not sure I liked the bit about getting someone to impersonate his partner. Felt out of character to take on that level of risk, and the whole escalation kept increasing the cringiness of it
I am an easier reviewer. I almost always give books 5 stars, maybe a 4. But for me to give it a 3, something is wrong.
Maybe it is me, but after reading this book I almost want to take back my 5 stars I gave the first book because reading this book changed the way I viewed the first.
I loved "The Rosie Project" a story of Don Tillman, a textbook Aspie who wasn't an Aspie trying to find a wife. I loved the roadblocks, the friendships, and whom he ultimately ended up with *hint her name is Rosie. So naturally I wanted to love "the Rosie Effect" which is the story of their marriage, an unplanned pregnancy, and how Don copes with impending fatherhood but I didn't love it. It was painful to watch Don constantly run into people who didn't believe he would be a good father while he was doing his best to show that he would be a great father.
Narrated in my head by Sheldon Cooper once again, I just found myself wanting to pound every person who tried to block Don from being the best he could be, including his selfish hormonal wife, Rosie.
I wanted to like this book so much more than I did. I wanted it to be a great sequel. But it wasn't. It was a stain on the fictional life of Don Tillman and his bitchy wife, Rosie who is supposed to be the prize for him. Poor Don.

I didn't remember liking this book much the last time I read it, but I did this time around. Don is still Don.

Don und Rosie erwarten ihr erstes Kind. Don versucht sich vorzubereiten in dem er sich alles nötige Wissen aneignet. Theorie und Praxis sind aber nie dasselbe, was immer zu komischen Situationen führt. Obwohl Don alles analytisch betrachtet und Emotionen nicht seine Stärke sind, sind es doch schlussendlich seine Gefühle, die entscheidend sind.
Sehr locker und leicht zu lesen, bringt einem immer wieder zum Lachen. Ein richtige Gute-Laune-Buch.
