After reading The Rosie Project back in February I knew I needed Don Tillman back in my life and I wanted to see where Don and Rosie were at in their lives. The wife project was complete. Next project was baby on the way as Rosie is pregnant. This book had me in stitches. Don is just hilarious. I didn’t like Rosie as much in this book, she just seemed over Don. But I’m glad it all came together at the end
I was a little disappointed by this second book in the Don Tillman series & found the characters & plotline less engaging. Rosie doesn’t really feature for much of the book & when she does I hardly recognise her from the Rosie Project. Don’s antics gaining ‘parental experience’ border on the farcical. Overall It all felt rather laboured compared to the first. Still many lovely and very funny moments, perhaps I had too high expectations, still a very good read, but no where near as charming as the first in the series.

Dragged a lot more than I thought it would. I like all of the new characters but found Rosie and Don to be nowhere near as entertaining. The ending (while not as intricate/satisfying as the ending of the first book), was still quite enjoyable

I so enjoyed The Rosie Project and gave it five stars. However, this one was just okay. I found myself skipping parts and reading every days to get through it. I don’t think I will read the next one.

Reading the Rosie Effect just wasn't the same as the Rosie Project. I feel like the characters/story lost some of the charm from the first book. I still enjoyed seeing the world through Don's eyes. The story just felt forced and I missed Rosie, who didn't participate as much in this novel.
It was fine. I didn’t find it as compelling as the first and I don’t think I’ll read the third. The character of Rosie felt really disjointed in this one. Overall it seemed to lack the depth of the first. Maybe it’s just that the jokes were old? Or the behaviour became predictable. Either way perfectly enjoyable but wouldn’t really recommend it like I would the first.
I really enjoyed the first book and looked forward to his adventure in a relationship. The style of language in this one is much more formal (scientific and rather rigid as expected of Prof. Tillman) so it didn't come off as easy reading as the first book. Nevertheless I still liked it a lot. The many misunderstanding in communication due to how an Aspie think compared to typical person still came through really well. Many of the scenes and descriptions of his thought definitely made me realise what a minefield it must be the common world is for Aspies to navigate. oh, and Social worker was annoying in this one though I could empathise with her reason at the end.
