Sinossi
Il «Progetto Moglie» di Don Tillman, professore di genetica australiano in trasferta a New York, sta andando alla grande. Felicemente sposato con Rosie, la ragazza che come un ciclone ha travolto la sua vita, Don sta scoprendo che si può vivere sereni anche in un appartamento pieno di inutili oggetti decorativi, e con un frigorifero invaso di cibi dimenticati. Niente di tutto questo è facile, per il professor Tillman, perché da sempre, per la sua stessa conformazione mentale, è abituato a programmare ogni aspetto della sua vita: dal consumo dei pasti agli spostamenti casa-lavoro effettuati in nome dell’efficienza. Ma Rosie – la «donna più bella del mondo» per Don – ha portato nella sua vita un tale grado di felicità da compensare anche i piccoli fastidi di una vita disordinata. E in fondo, Don sapeva fin dall’inizio che l’amore è un progetto pericoloso, e non può fare a meno di chiedersi ogni giorno se Rosie non sia vittima di un macroscopico abbaglio. Don teme che arrivi il momento in cui Rosie si renderà conto di non poter stare con un uomo così maniacale, rigido e refrattario agli imprevisti. Anche perché è in arrivo l’imprevisto degli imprevisti, il progetto più pericoloso di tutti. Ed è quando sente Rosie pronunciare le parole «Siamo incinti» che Don capisce di dover affrontare la prova più grande: dimostrare di essere pronto a fare il padre... State per fare la conoscenza di un irresistibile combinaguai, un uomo che sfida il concetto (o il preconcetto?) di normalità in modi spesso esilaranti, a tratti commoventi, di certo sempre intelligentemente provocatori. Don Tillman ha conquistato il cuore e la mente di milioni di lettori in tutto il mondo e anche per voi sarà indimenticabile.

After the success of The Rosie Project last year, it was inevitable that we’d get a sequel, though so soon was surprising. In The Rosie Project we followed the adventures of Don Tillman, a genetics professor (with probable Aspergers) who went looking for a wife and found one in Rosie, who drew him i Leggi tutto
I loved The Rosie Project . Don Tillman was a character unlike any I had ever encountered before. Honest, hilarious, and easy to love (for the reader, not necessarily for the characters in the book). I was beyond excited when I heard there would be a second book. I was also a little apprehensive, whi Leggi tutto
Find all of my reviews at: http://52bookminimum.blogspot.com/ Well, rats. Maybe my expectations were just too high after falling head over heels in love with The Rosie Project last year. Maybe there wasn’t enough magic left to make a worthy sequel. Whatever the case, I’m bummed I didn’t enjoy thi Leggi tutto
Is the magic gone? It feels like it is. Last year, I remember thinking that “The Rosie Project” was my favorite chick lit book ever, which was ironic because it had been written by a man. I thought it was hilarious and original. This year, after reading “The Rosie Effect,” I am asking myself – was the Leggi tutto
What a misnomer. There was hardly any "Rosie" in this book, only Don Tillman and the rest of the guys. Also troubling, the women were portrayed as incubators, SJWs, inconsiderate and unreasonable. How did we go from adorable Don to Narcissistic Don in less than a year? *facepalm*
'The Rosie Effect' is the sequel to Graeme Simsion’s 2013 internationally best-selling novel 'The Rosie Project', which I enjoyed immensely (as did Bill Gates ). I had been very excited to read its sequel and revisit Don and Rosie – and I said as much in my 'Rosie Project' review. But now I have read Leggi tutto
I raced through this book and enjoyed every word. There were many laugh aloud moments and lots of those delightful sequences where Don manages to land on his feet despite everything. This book becomes much more serious than The Rosie Project though and there are some sad and some stressful moments t Leggi tutto
Ugh. This was a disaster from start to finish.
(3.5) I was wary after the Guardian review called this sequel “twice as long and only half as good” as The Rosie Project , but I actually enjoyed it just about as much as the original. In a new NYC setting, Rosie’s unplanned pregnancy has Don Tillman – and everyone else around him – assessing his sui Leggi tutto
Don Tillman what a guy. Graeme Simsion what a guy. I attended the Sydney launch of this book, so was really happy and interested to hear the background story of the author, and how The Rosie Project was bought to life, as well as this lovely second half. Don Tillman is such a quirky character, that
