elga_sii 's review for:
The Rosie Effect
by Graeme Simsion
Heartbreaking in a good way. This would be a fine Christmastime read. I think what Graeme Simsion is doing for people like Don, who think and feel "unconventionally" (Don's own words!), is amazing. Even if the main character himself isn't the best at recognizing emotions, he is really good at inducing them, feeling them and creating empathy for the unique ways he's experiencing it. This is a feel-good read, yes. It's also so much more than the typical chick-flick love (even if it follows the storytelling patterns of the genre). The ending was a bit too sweet and synthetically happy for me, and too generic, therefore reducing the credibility, pleasure and insight of the story. Still in love with the most part of the Don Tillman concept though.
