Hardly a shadow of the first book in the series. the humour is strained and deliberate, the narration saggy and the whole thing just makes you painfully aware of how good the first book was.
Sort of a 2 and a half stars. I was really annoyed with Rosie in this one. She knew what she was getting when she married Don, and although he causes many of his own problems, she cut him out from the pregnancy even when he was trying to help in is own unorthodox way. I may still read the third book, as I do like Don as a character and want to know where the story goes.
Simsion is a master at creating humorous and improbable situations. This second book in the Rosie series finds Don and Rosie married , with an unexpected pregnancy. As Don thoroughly researches gestation and parenting, hilarity and misunderstandings ensue. Sometimes like a Keystone cop routine and other times - in a manner that is just plain sweet. Definitely a fun lighthearted uplifting story.
A continuation of "The Rosie Project." Enjoyable, humorous sequel of Don's unexpected journey through Rosie's pregnancy and delivery of their baby. Leaves the reader with anticipation for the final book of the trilogy.
