The Rosie Result: 3 by Graeme Simsion, Dan O'Grady
3.75
Wrapped up this series. I liked it. Here, it has jumped forward about 10 years from where the last book ended. Don and Rosie are still together, raising their son Hudson. Is Hudson autistic (is Don?) ... much of the book circles around this question, and the pros and cons to its answer (whether yes or no).
I had the kindle copy, but didn't really refer to it (checked proFanity ... x 16, some talk of sexual stuff). Despite some serious discussion of autism, this was a "light" read for me, just for enjoyment. There were a couple quotes to save ...
“I had observed that neurotypicals criticized autistic people for lacking empathy… but seldom made any effort to improve their own empathy towards autistic people.”
“It’s better to learn from people who have had to work hard to achieve their skills, rather than the naturally talented.”
“None of us is expert in all situations. It is a sign of intelligence to recognize our limitations and of maturity to seek help when required.”
Went with the audio edition - same narrator, which is good, as his voice IS Don at this point. I did not care for his voicing of Hudson though. It sounded like an old man most of the time, not an 11 year old boy.
I was happy this series was readily available from the library, and that I could get all three books for back-to-back consumption.
