The Rosie Result - Graeme Simsion

Blurb

'The phone call signalling an escalation in the Hudson Adjustment Problem came at 10:18 a.m. on a Friday morning . . .'

Meet Don Tillman, the genetics professor with a scientific approach to everything. But he's facing a set of human dilemmas tougher than the trickiest of equations.

Right now he is in professional hot water after a lecture goes viral; his wife of 4,380 days, Rosie, is about to lose the research job she loves; and - the most serious problem of all - their eleven-year-old son, Hudson, is struggling at school. He's a smart kid, but socially awkward-not fitting in.

Fortunately, Don's had a lifetime's experience of not fitting in. And he's going to share the solutions with Hudson. He'll need the help of old friends and new, lock horns with the education system, and face some big questions about himself. As well as opening the world's best cocktail bar.

Review

Don is back! Now living in Melbourne with is his wife Rosie and their 11 year old son Hudson who is struggling at school, he is socially awkward and doesn't fit in. Join this lovable, quirky and entertaining cast of characters as they embark on helping Hudson. Simsion ask's whether we should label children 'autistic' and whether anyone should be made to 'fit in'. It's big hearted, funny and leaves you with that warm fuzzy feeling, the perfect conclusion to the series. You don't need to have read the other books in the series to enjoy this one (but you would be doing yourself a disservice!). 

Thanks to Penguin Books UK & Netgalley for sending me this in exchange for an open and honest review.
