Kari's Corner

The Rosie Effect by Graeme Simsion
            This is the second in a series featuring Don Tillman, a geneticist with Asperger’s syndrome.  In the first book Don was searching for a wife, and in this sequel his wife is now pregnant.  Don is coming to terms with becoming a father and researching pregnancy and parenthood in a way only Don could.
Don means well, but his well-meant intentions do not always go over very well.  Researching kids by studying them on the playground gives the wrong impression when he does not have any kids at the playground.  He researches what pregnant women should and should not eat.  Then he takes it to the extreme when cooking for his wife, which is not always appreciated when she craves something that is not on the healthy list.
Don’s well-meant intentions keep getting him in trouble.  You find yourself rooting for him and for everything to work out in the end.
