saarahnina 's review for:
The Rosie Result
by Graeme Simsion
Don's latest adventure!
Reading The Rosie Result was a real joy, with all the fanfare. There are a lot of surprises in this one but Don is, as ever, the quirky gentleman who finds himself in one mishap after another. He remains misunderstood- frequently. But we also see growth: the funny kind that you only achieve after embarrassment or, a Don-Tillman-kind-of-disaster!
Don's wife, Rosie, a doctor in psychology, has come to expect 'constant craziness' from Don. But in this one, it's fair to say, we are all surprised by the blows he's dealt and how he navigates them. We meet some new characters, and are reunited with the old, but the 'constant craziness' remains at optimum level.
There's a crazy lot to laugh about in this one, but a lot more to learn. How Simsion manages to flesh out his characters, so entirely, is beyond me! Don possesses such rare insight and self-awareness, so when he does make a mistake it is doubly hilarious. Indeed, I'm sure that by this point, readers will be able to ask 'What Would Don Do?' We certainly have plenty of material to work with!
All the witty, and well-timed, one liners; Don's attempts at telling jokes; his ability to start afresh- it made this a fantastic book. Uplifting, minus any condescension, and a story as memorable as the two that came before.
One of the best book-series out there!
