Review:

"[Don Tillman] has almost transcended the boundaries of fiction to become a geek icon."―The Guardian

"One of the most endearing, charming and fascinating literary characters I have met in a long time."―The Times

THE ROSIE PROJECT

"Sometimes you just need a smart love story that will make anyone, man or woman, laugh out loud."―San Francisco Chronicle

"Move over, Sheldon Cooper. There’s a new brilliant, socially inept scientist poised to win over a huge audience, and his name is Don Tillman."―Entertainment Weekly

"Simsion’s attention to detail brings to life Don’s wonderful, weird world. Instead of using Don’s Asperger’s syndrome as a fault, or a lead-in to a tragic turn of events, Simsion creates a heartwarming story of an extraordinary man learning to live in an ordinary world, and to love. As Don would say, this book is ‘great fun.’’―USA Today

"An utterly winning screwball comedy. . . This charming, warmhearted escapade, which celebrates the havoc―and pleasure―emotions can unleash, offers amusement aplenty. Sharp dialogue, terrific pacing, physical hijinks, slapstick, a couple to root for, and more twists than a pack of Twizzlers."―NPR.org

"Filled with humor and plenty of heart, The Rosie Project is a delightful reminder that all of us, no matter how we’re wired, just want to fit in."―Chicago Tribune

"One of the year’s most promising and original novelists."―The Wall Street Journal

"A high-functioning but emotionally illiterate guy like Don makes a perfect unreliable narrator. . . . Happily, Simsion doesn’t give Don an unbelievable emotional makeover. Our man just learns to live by a more complicated algorithm."― Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel

"Funny, touching, and hard to put down, The Rosie Project is certain to entertain even as readers delve into deep themes. . . immensely enjoyable."―Booklist (starred review)

"Read-out-loud laughter begins by page two in Simsion’s debut novel about a thirty-nine-year-old genetics professor with Asperger’s―but utterly unaware of it―looking to solve his Wife Problem. . . . What follows are his utterly clueless but more often thoroughly charming exploits in exploring his capacity for romance. . . . This novel is perfectly timed."―Publishers Weekly (starred review)

THE ROSIE EFFECT

"In his bestselling debut, The Rosie Project, Simsion introduced the delightfully original character of Don Tillman, an Australian geneticist with Asperger’s syndrome who sets out to find the perfect wife by using the scientific method. In the sequel, set in New York, Don takes on impending fatherhood in the same clumsy yet endearing way, with results both funny and moving. This charming new chapter in the Tillman chronicles leaves you hoping it won’t be the last."―People

"Though painfully aware of his emotional shortcomings, Don determinedly sets out to be a good dad. Hilarity ensues. . . .Simsion’s tale offers a playful look at a how a family of two fare when a third. . . . enters the mix. . . .There’s a moral to this quirky story: The best things in life can’t be planned on a spreadsheet."―Good Housekeeping

"Loveable science prof Don Tillman’s perfect (-ly concocted) marriage is about to hit a major bump."―Cosmopolitan

"The hilarious follow-up to The Rosie Project, one of the best novels I’ve read in ages. . . . Simsion brings back some of the best characters and gags from the first novel while also bringing in enough new elements to keep it fresh. It’s a funny novel that also made me think about relationships: what makes them work and how we have to keep investing time and energy to make them better. A sweet, entertaining, and thought-provoking book."―Bill Gates, "Top Five Books of 2014"

"Don and Rosie are back!...Readers who loved the first book are in for another treat."―Library Journal (starred review)

"A celebration of the best attributes to be found in a friend, a husband, or a father, regardless of the way they are expressed."―Booklist (starred review)

"Just as smart, funny and heartwarming as the original."―Washington Post
