Reading this book was like visiting old friends I hadn't seen in a while. They were just the same funny, quirky people as I had remembered them to be.
Adding the 11 year old Hudson into the mix was a joy, to see how he was developing in his life.
I didn't have quite as many laugh out loud moments in this book as I did in the previous two, but I enjoyed it greatly none the less.
A lovely light read, but incorporating some very serious and relevant issues, all done in a humorous way.
Definitely one to recommend.
Thanks to NetGalley for a copy of this title in exchange for an honest review.

What a delightful book - as easily as delightful as the other Rosie books. This one concentrates on Hudson, alike his dad as ''peas in a pod. Is Hudson really exactly as his dad or is he in fact not. Is his behaviour nature or nurture? Hudson is growing up and finding school not as easy as some kids so mum and dad feel they should do something to help. Helpful parents aren't always very well, helpful....... I learnt so much from this book. I laughed and I nodded and enjoyed it all. I cannot recommend this book more highly but I don't really need to say it - everyone knows it will be wonderful.

Heartachingly, heartbreakingly fabulous. For all the readers out there that know or love someone who has there own ‘ways’. My son is somewhere on the spectrum but has never let it define him. Finally, a well written and witty novel that refuses to let certain behaviours be pigeonholed. A masterpiece.

A fitting end to the Rosie trilogy. Having read both previous books I was looking forward to this final instalment. I was not disappointed!
Don relocates to Australia after a genetics dispute and takes it upon himself to help son Hudson to fit into his new school and with his peers. With Don’s unusual outlook on life the results of his interference do not always have the required outcome.
Touching upon other delicate subjects this book informs just as much as it entertains.
Highly recommended.

I liked this. I made the mistake of reading it without realising it was book 3 in a series. I'd read book 1 but not book 2. Still, it didn't take long to catch up. It was good seeing the main characters again - like old friends. The narrative style is short and punchy and you get a real feeling of being right inside Don's head. Funny and sharp, but with heart.

A great end, to a great series. It was really lovely to catch up with Don and Rosie and find out how they are coping with marriage and parenthood. Their son Hudson is now 11 and is facing his own set of challenges, not dissimilar from his Dad's. Don, in typical fashion, decides that 'The Hudson Project' is necessary and puts his all into helping his son with his problems. It results in hilarity and misunderstanding but ultimately shows the absolute devotion Don has for his family, which is really moving.
If you loved the first two Don Tillman books you won't be disappointed.

I really enjoyed this. After finding the second book in the trilogy somewhat lacklustre, this final book takes us back to the hilarity and poignancy of the first book. This is set 10yrs after the second book and Don Tillman's son, Hudson, is running into difficulties at school especially with social interactions. Don, predictably, turns it into a project, drawing on his own experiences. If you've read the rest of the series, I need explain no further for you to see where this is going. It's a beautiful closing of the circle with all the funniness and warmth of the original novel. I also felt that representations of neurodiversity were more nuanced this time too. Really loved this book.

‘The Rosie Result’, is the final instalment in Graeme Simsion’s trilogy about geneticist Don Tillman and his wife Rosie. This book takes place ten years since we last visited these characters and now Hudson, Don’s son, is a ten year old who is having similar issues in school, with social interactions and following strict routines as Don himself had had at that age. Don tries to parent him and creates ‘The Hudson Project’ with his own experiences in mind, thus in a way completing a full circle.

I loved this book. It was definitely the best developed and most engaging for me out of the series. In my previous reviews of the first two books of the series I had expressed concern over the portrayal and stereotypes of autism within literature. However it felt for this one, it really moved away from this and explored many issues that are currently important topics of debate within the neurodiveristy community; the use of ABA therapy, medicating autistic children, language i.e. autistic person versus person with autism, antivax movements, how adults are treated on the spectrum, sensory issues etc. I was really impressed with how these issues were handled and it was fantastic to see them raised within a very much mainstream popular fiction book. Hopefully this book will lead to further discussions on these issues within a wider community and potentially help take some of the neurodiversity movement further. Thank you very much to Graeme Simsion for including these issues and portraying them so well!

A fitting conclusion to the trilogy, with all the warmth and humour we have come to expect. Utterly wonderful - if you don't read these books, you're missing out.

Absolutely gutted this series has now ended, its such a great series!
This particular book is an incredible story of a father discovering who he is while trying to guide his son through a confusing and sometimes misleading world. Its done in such a gentle way but oh so well.
Occasionally you get a rare book where you actually have to go out and buy a paper copy despite having a copy on your kindle because the book is that good you want to be able to have it on your bookshelf to pick up anytime to reread over and over.. This is one of those rare amazing books

Having also read The Rosie Project, I really enjoyed the last book in this trilogy. Although much of Don Tillman's life is a peak enjoyment and efficiency, he is concerned that his son, Hudson, might be exhibiting some of the same traits that made growing up so difficult for Don, although he has never been officially diagnosed.

Alongside other issues - such as the Genetics Lecture Outrage - Don embarks the Hudson Project, to provide his son with the skills and attributes that he lacked as a child, and made things particularly challenging for him.

The book is witty, quirky and funny, whilst raising serious points about ASD, including whether someone 'is' or 'has' autism, and the importance of 'well-meaning'. Great story, although the mother plays a more 'supportive' role, often backing up Don's decisions, or enabling them, despite her own personal challenges, which take less of a central role.

Many thanks to NetGalley and Penguin UK/Michael Joseph for the opportunity onto read The Rosie Result.

I absolutely adored The Rosie Project - one of the funniest books I've ever read. Its sequel, The Rosie Effect, was fine, but not as good as the first book; I'd hoped this would be a return to form. Although I read through it quickly, it still wasn't in the same class as The Rosie Project. The plot, which revolves around Don's efforts to help his 11-year-old son Hudson integrate better with his peers, had plenty of potential, but it seemed to meander along covering the same ground over and over again. I didn't find Hudson to be a convincing 11-year-old. Some moments of humour and some thoughtful insights, but this just didn't quite work for me and I doubt I'd want to revisit this series should more be published.

But, oh - what happy times I had reading The Rosie Project - a book in a million.

I won't leave reviews on Amazon or Goodreads as I don't Ike to leave reviews that are less positive..

I enjoyed this so much that I finished it in one day, all chores went out of the window!
It's a perfect conclusion to the trilogy - I love how the characters have developed and Finch was wonderful. Personally I'd recommend reading the previous books first, but you could probably read this as a standalone if you were just interested in the child with autism aspect.
There are so many issues dealt with here, in a honest and respectful way, and I found the whole thing very informative and entertaining.

The Rosie Result, the third in this series rounds the story off beautifully. Dons wife Rosie accepts a new post in Australia and so they locate from New York with their son Hudson, Don is accepted as professor of genetics at the local university.
They enrol Hudson in a public school feeling that would be a better fit, like his father Hudson hates change and is not happy with the relocation. Hudson’s teachers approach Don and Rosie with their views that they feel Hudson may have autism, Don can not understand this as he believes Hudson is just like his father.
Don himself is suspended from the university after answering a students question on race and genetics in his own inimitable way the
student accuses him of been racist Don argues that he gave a valid answer to the question but to no avail with the powers that be.
Now having time on his hands Don decides to focus everything on his son and so begins the Hudson project, especially as he remembers how he was treated at school.
Gradually Don begins to be self aware of his own autism, there is a lot of detail about autism which enhances this story and gives the reader a better understanding of this subject.
As in the previous books there is much humour and some really touching scenes as Hudson and his fathers relationship grows and becomes closer.
Highs and lows, some laugh out loud moments this is a lovely entertaining conclusion to the series.
My thanks to net galley and publisher for the opportunity to review this book honestly.

Professor Don Tillman moves now to apply his logical problem-solving skills to the Hudson Project.

The third book in the series, Tillman, wife Rosie and his 11 year-old mini-me son Hudson have moved back to Australia from New York to enable Rosie to pursue her career as a cancer researcher.

Hudson is finding it very difficult to adjust to his new school. Don gives up academic work to devote himself to helping his son, while also allowing his wife to work full time.

Autism is explicitly discussed in this book, and I'd be curious to know how people with autism view the portrayal of Don and Hudson.

Quirky and wryly funny, though it feels rather like more of the same, both as a series and as the book progresses.

I read the first in this trilogy about Don and Rosie, but not the second. This third novel is a fitting end to the series. Don, Rosie and their son Hudson move to Australia and after Hudson has some issues at school Don decides on a Hudson Project to help his son fit in more.
This then is a story of difference, acceptance and problem solving. There are a lot of laugh out loud moments along the way as well as a huge amount about autism - I learned a lot.
I’ve given 4 rather than five stars as it does become a little trite towards the end though this doesn’t detract a lot from a very good read.

Another funny and honest look at life and families dealing with autism. Not quite as good as the first two books and you need to read them to understand fully what is happening. But another entertaining and touching read

Thanks to netgalley and the publisher for a free copy for an honest opinion

A wry and, at times, funny look at a family dealing with autism. Rounding off the series in typical fashion this book doesn’t disappoint.

I suspect you will need to have read the other 2 books as Don and their son Hudson take centre stage, not so much about Rosie.

Balanced and well written

A wryly humorous take on living with autism

I haven't read The Rosie Project or The Rosie Effect, but this book works well as a stand-alone. However, you don't find out much about Rosie herself here, although her decisions are instrumental to the plot. Her husband is Professor of Genetics in an American university. From the first page, you recognise both his high intelligence and his autistic traits: literal answers to questions, love of routine and a certain amount of social ineptitude. Their ten year old son, Hudson, has these same traits.

When Rosie accepts a new medical research job, the family relocate to Australia. Don takes on the role of house-husband. This enables him to teach Hudson the survival skills he wishes he had been taught during his own miserable school years. This is where most of the humour lies. We see Don trying to teach Hudson everything from accepting the fact that his Dad would now be taking on his Mum's role (by trapping him in their Porsche where he has no option but to listen) to helping him learn to ride his bike (in a remote location, where he won't be spotted by anyone from school).

A good read with lots of fun moments and touching scenes, but a bit slow at times. If you know a person with autism, you'll certainly recognise some of the scenarios!

A fantastically quirky conclusion to the Rosie series. I’ve read the first two books some time ago and enjoyed the premise and the story. This book rounds off the series well. Highly entertaining and well written giving the perspective to see the world from a different view point. I’ll miss the Tillman’s!
