andrea0301 's review for:
The Rosie Effect
by Graeme Simsion
I feel like 3 is a bit low for this book, for I found the beginning and some of the instances early on rather comical in nature and the ending was very sweet. If I could give an unusual rating, I would give it a 3.8--not quite 4. This is because although I loved revisiting Don and Rosie, I felt that it didn't pack the punch that the initial book did. There were times I was like yeah, yeah and it felt rather formulaic. I was looking for a "lighter read" and felt a wee bit cheated, because I became frustrated with the flow at times.
Overall, I felt satisfied in revisiting an unusual character and I didn't feel sad having read this novel, I just wish the middle at times wasn't so predictable. I see there is a 3rd novel following Don further and given I enjoy the character enough, I will be reading it. Seeing him with a child and interacting with fellow parents will be amusing to say the least. If you enjoyed the Rosie Project, I recommend reading this one as well.
