Summary
Penguin presents the audiobook edition of The Rosie Result by Graeme Simsion, read by Dan O'Grady.
The Rosie Result is the triumphant final instalment of the internationally best-selling series that began with The Rosie Project.
Until 12 years ago, geneticist Don Tillman had never had a second date. Then he developed The Wife Project and met Rosie, 'the world's most incompatible woman'. Now, having survived 4,380 days of marriage, Don's life-contentment graph, recently at its highest point, is curving downwards.
Rosie has just returned to work and is struggling with an obnoxious co-worker. Don, meanwhile, is in hot water after his latest lecture goes viral. But their real worry is their son, Hudson, who is having trouble at school: his teachers say he isn't fitting in with the other kids.
For Don, learning to be a good parent as well as a good partner will require the help of friends old and new. It will mean letting Hudson make his way in the world, and grappling with difficult truths about his own identity.
It will also mean opening a cocktail bar.
Hilarious and thought-provoking, with a brilliant cast of characters, The Rosie Result will have readers cheering for joy.

Loved it! I've really enjoyed the series so far.
Don Tilman, the main character is the best! The story was hilarious at many points and was awesome to listen to. It was also a great way to gain some understanding about autism and its nuances.
The voice acting definitely enhanced the story for me.

Amazingly insightful
Would recommend this to everyone. Whether on the spectrum or not (I am) this helps to understand “diversity” and how labels can skew things. The Medical Model has a lot to answer for (I’m a Medical Doctor) and as per people with disabilities changing the discourse I’m heartened to see this with the Autistic Spectrum. This has really helped me on my journey of realisation…

A fitting finale to a wonderful trilogy
I started listening to The Rosie Project a few years ago, then The Rosie Effect and now obviously The Rosie Result. Sometimes when a trilogy spans a few years something gets lost but not with the Rosie books. Each one is brilliant in it's own right and The Rosie Result caps off this trilogy perfectly.
Dan O'Grady's narration over all the characters is spot on through all the books and he gives such life to the cast that parade through these wonderful books.
The Rosie Result is a fitting end but I will miss Don, Rosie, Hudson and the rest of the characters immensely.

Don rides again!
Loved this every bit as much as books 1 and 2, and in fact I'm now off to read them both again. I always loved the insight into the Autistic mind and the idea is expanded very nicely in this book. Narration delivered with perfection I really couldn't imagine anyone else reading Don as well as this. If you like clever plot lines, characters and unexpectedly funny moments then dive into Don he won't disappoint.
