The Rosie Result

The life-affirming romantic comedy from the million-copy bestselling series

By: Graeme Simsion

Narrated by: Dan O'Grady

Penguin presents the audiobook edition of The Rosie Result by Graeme Simsion, read by Dan O'Grady.

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 for all the wrong reasons; 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 and 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.

Big-hearted, hilarious and exuberantly life-affirming, The Rosie Result is a story of overcoming life's obstacles with a little love and a lot of overthinking.

If you liked The Wisdom of Sally Red Shoes, Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine, and The Trouble with Goats and Sheep, then you'll love The Rosie Project series.

Critic reviews

This funny novel tackles tough questions about family and love with a light touch and a big heart

Fans of The Rosie Project will love this ... It's heart-warming and clever

Offers a touching and intelligent insight into autism, while Don's hilarious escapades keep the laughs coming

Graeme Simsion tackles some of the heavy issues of our day - autism, gender roles, political correctness - but his light touch makes this novel a fun and satisfying read

Hilarity is the order of the day in this joyful read

The final book in Simsion's much-loved Rosie series . . . Uplifting

A fast-paced, enjoyable journey. Genuinely heartwarming . . . He is certainly ending on a high note

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)

Superb. A perfect mix of humour, heart and insight

Excellent . . . beautifully and sensitively written, you will enjoy every sentence

Brilliantly insightful & thoroughly entertaining

Brilliantly insightful and thoroughly entertaining. Great narrator. I enjoyed this third instalment of the Rosie Project so much.

A look into the journey of autism for parents and tweens like none other

Whilst this is a work of fiction, it has inspired conversation with my autistic tween and his navigation through the difficult patch for all 12 year olds/ 6th graders and moving into a new phase of life, making friends, maintaining friendships and understanding the labels. It has helped me to look at him through the autism lens and then through the lenses that are not autism like a normal tween, also to see that he does not have to fit all the stereo types.
Being new to the autism diagnosis, there is still so much to learn and take in for all of us.
This final book certainly helped with that while being entertaining at the same time.
The themes of inclusion and diversity are great throughout and how we look at them.
Definitely worth a great rating.

Brilliant

Fantastically moving and funny.
The listen had felt like an empathy exercise. The characters created by the brilliant Grame Simson are lovely and unique. They solve loads of problems (technical and interpersonal) and take care of one another in the quirkiest and most lovable ways.

The most phenomenal series, I loved it

This series was amazing and I could not stop listening. Must read, must listen!
