About this listen

The unabridged, downloadable audiobook edition of The Rosie Effect, by Graeme Simsion.

With the Wife Project complete, Don settles happily into a new job and married life in New York. But it's not long before certain events are taken out of his control and it's time to embark on a new project . . .

As Don tries to get to grips with the requirements of starting a family, his unusual research style soon gets him into trouble. To make matters more difficult, Don has invited his closest friend to stay with them, but Gene is not exactly a prime example of marital happiness, and as his life with Rosie continues to be unpredictable Don needs to remember that emotional support is just as important as his practical expertise . . .

 Contemporary Family Life Genre Fiction Literature & Fiction Women's Fiction Funny Witty Feel-Good Heartfelt Comedy

Critic reviews

All three of the Rosie novels made me laugh out loud. Ultimately the story is about getting inside the mind and heart of someone a lot of people see as odd, and discovering that he isn't really that different from anybody else (Bill Gates, 2020 Summer Books)
Funnym endearing, and pure wonderful escapism
A poignant, funny novel about how you don't find love, it finds you
Warm-hearted and perfectly pitched, with profound themes that are worn lightly, this very enjoyable read promises to put Don Tillman on teh comic literary map somewhere between Mr Pooter and Adrian Mole
All stars

I loved the Rosie Project and wasn't expecting the sequel to match it but I surpassed expectations. Laugh out loud good and even shed a little tear.
The two books will be my no.1 recommendations to any other audio book listener. Brilliant.

The best audiobook yet!

Would you consider the audio edition of The Rosie Effect to be better than the print version?

The narrator of this audio book is excellent, but I would enjoy the written book equally as well. I loved the first Rosie novel and was not disappointed in this one

Which scene did you most enjoy?

Would be difficult to point out any particular scene, there were so many laugh out loud moments. Schene where Don is watching the children at play, although with an obvious outcome, was priceless.

Any additional comments?

Graeme Simsion has done it again. Yet another joyful book. Hated getting to the end of it, but couldn't wait to hear more.

ABSOLUTELY LOVED THIS BOOK

This sequel perhaps lacks the surprise element of The Rosie Project, and it may be a little more overtly didactic, but I enjoyed it just the same. There are some very funny bits. The narration is just right.

Good

Read the Rosie Project and then read this! Both fabulous. I couldn't put this down.

Brilliant

I loved both this book and the Rosie project and cannot recommend them enough. They both had me in tears laughing which was sometimes quite embarrassing on the train.

The books are so unique and the narrator is excellent... I feel slightly lost now the book is over. Five stars

Worlds best audiobook
