This definitely lives up to the joy of the previous books in the series. Wonderful and life affirming.

Don Tillman is back! I loved The Rosie Project but felt The Rosie Effect fell short. The Rosie Result is Graeme Simsion back on form.

Hudson Tillman is now 11 and grappling with issues at school. In his usual way, Don assesses the problem and finds a solution. With some new characters along with all of our old friends, the result is a heartwarming and uplifting story.

I found the underlying theme of autism diagnosis and the pitfalls and benefits particularly interesting. There was a lot of food for thought and it was sensitively handled.

All in all I loved this book and it was a very satisfying end to the trilogy. Thank you to NetGalley and the publishers for my copy of this book.

I was pretty sure I'd like this having read the previous Rosie books and I was right. It's really nice to pick up the story again and find out what's happening.

I felt like I knew the characters really well and was really invested in their story already. This time however I was also invested in Hudson who is now 11.

I think for those who have read the earlier books this rounds it out nicely. For those new to the story this might not be the best book to start with.

This is a the ending to the trilogy starting with the Rosie Project but the first one for me is the best. I found I was losing interest in parts and the story was a bit disconnected. However there were bits that made me laugh and it was enjoyable overall.

Don and Rosie have a new project; their 11 year old son Hudson.

The Rosie Result is a fitting and satisfying conclusion to Graeme Simsion’s series. It’s been a long time since I read The Rosie Project and The Rosie Effect, but Don’s narrative voice was immediately recognisable and familiar, so that I felt as if I were catching up with an old friend I hadn’t seen in a while. Graeme Simsion’s style works effortlessly in conveying Don’s character in fatherhood, the action and the themes.

The plot firmly centres on Rosie and Don’s son Hudson, and his experiences in school, as he attempts to be ‘normal’, but this is also an effective means by which Don makes continued self discovery as he deals with day to day life. Hudson’s responses and attitudes are an echo of Don’s and peel back the layers of both personalities, but in a way this felt secondary to me. What is so important, and frequently quite affecting, is the overall exploration of identity.

Graeme Simsion understands, and conveys so convincingly, the difficulties facing those who do not conform to accepted societal stereotypes. He shows how ignorance can offend just as much as prejudice and intolerance and I finished the read contemplating whether I have behaved thoughtlessly towards others even when I hadn’t meant to create discomfort for them. I love the way in which the themes in the book, from love and friendship to puberty and adulthood, for example, are woven throughout and occasionally resolved, without sentiment and a saccharine sensation. I think it is because Don still manages to behave unconventionally and inappropriately even at the most poignant moments so there is humour and balance in the writing.

Although the title refers to Rosie, she is less of a presence this time and again I fell this works effectively within the context of the storytelling. Both Hudson and Don behave as they do ultimately as a result of having Rosie in their lives. I can’t remember if Hudson’s name is explained in the previous book but it felt right to me that his name is also a river suggesting something fluid, ever changing and with the potential to travel beyond conventional confines.

I’ve thoroughly enjoyed the Rosie series of books, because they entertain whilst conveying a highly important message - we can never fully know others and everyone has potential to be the individual they want to be, not the person others might force them to become.

I'm terribly sorry, I requested this book but at the present time I won't be able to read/review it, also, as there's a requirement to leave a 'Star' rating I've had to select only one star and this doesn't represent my opinion on the book.

I had really hoped for more from this book.
I had such high hopes but I was left feeling rather disappointed.

There has been a significant gap between me reading The Rosie Project, the first novel in the series, and The Rosie Result, the third and final book, but I was pleasantly surprised to discover that this book is the best in the series. The author has managed to create and sustain a believable set of characters, compelling storylines and a purposeful plot that have thoroughly entertained me for three novels.

This novel brings us up to date with the life that Don and Rosie (and their son, Hudson) have built together, providing humour and entertainment but also education and empathy. Don is one of my favourite literary characters and a lovely introduction to the (very wide) autistic spectrum - he is the perfect narrator.

I wholeheartedly recommend the entire series!

I had previously enjoyed the first 2 books so when I heard there was going to a third one I was thrilled. I did enjoy this read, it was nice to have another bit of the story and was well written as always. I was not disappointed.

Rosie Result is probably best to read as the final instalment of the trilogy. I must confess having read about 33% of the book I can’t really face going back to it. It just didn’t capture me. Maybe you need to be invested into the story.

Thank you for the opportunity to read this book NetGalley.

A nice, satisfying end to this series. A warm and and funny read, best enjoyed if you have read the first two books, but would be ok as a stand alone too.

I absolutely loved The Rosie Project and The Rosie Result easily reaches the same levels of humour and compassion. I devoured this in a single day and it was so great to return to Don's world. You can really see the research the author has put into this title, it comes across clearly in the nuanced views of the characters.

Having read the first books in this series i was very excited to read this and it didn't disappoint. Such an interesting read. I love the characters and their development. I would absolutely recommend it to anyone!

Living in an entirely autistic household, I was really excited about reading "The Rosie Result." Although I haven't read the first two books in the series, they're on my wish list and I figured I'd go back and read them later since I had the opportunity to read this.

I won't bother now.

I found the whole thing stuffed full of cliches with no nuance at all. Just because you're autistic doesn't mean you're boring and I found the entire book to be reliant on lazy tropes (such as the deluded anti-vax naturopath) when it could have taken a far more nuanced approach to the various subjects and themes.

With all the potential this had, it was such a disappointment it was so poorly executed.

Thanks to Netgalley for the ARC without obligation.

I loved this! A heartwarming, funny, thought provoking insight into living with autism. I’ve worked with autistic children, and this was very true to life, yet very, very readable. It’s a shame there isn’t going to be more.

The Rosie Result is a book to savour. I enjoyed it as much, if not more, than the previous two Rosie books. It’s funny, witty and full of interesting and complex characters. While it’s written in a relaxed style, the focus on Autism is handled so well with some serious misconceptions revealed as part of the storyline. I thoroughly recommend reading all three books.

Professor Don Tillman is back, more than a decade after we first met him in The Rosie Project. This time, he has a new project – helping his son Hudson to settle into school (and neurotypical society). Hudson’s teacher thinks Hudson may be autistic. Don and Rosie need to decide whether to seek a formal diagnosis. And, while they’re at it, whether Don should be classed as autistic himself. While The Rosie Result is the third in the trilogy, it can be read as a standalone novel. A warm, humorous, thought-provoking read.

Thank you for the opportunity to read 'The Rosie Result'.

I was so pleased to read the third Rosie book - loved the first one, was underwhelmed by the second and enjoyed the third. Dan and Rosie are trying to work out how best to bring up Hudson who has clearly inherited some traits from his father. The book is funny and positive and a lovely way to round off the series.

When Rosie gets a new job offer in Melbourne, she and her husband Don and son Hudson leave the US and return to their home. Don gets a job as a lecturer at the university and Hudson started a new school, but Hudson isn't happy he doesn't like change and he doesn't fit in at his school. Don knows how he feels as he has never really fitted in either and so when he makes a social error at work and is faced with suspension he decides to leave and devote himself to the Hudson project giving him life skills to fit in!

An interesting book with Hudson and his father both deciding whether to face up to tests for autism, my godson is autistic and so it was very interesting to read about so many similar characteristics and rituals possessed by him

A very satisfying conclusion to one of my favorite series of all time. So sad it's over but looking forward to more from the author.
