The Rosie Result

Rating: 3.5/5 stars

Author: Graeme Simsion

This book is a sequel to the Rosie Project. I rated this book 3.5 out of 5 stars because it does include real situations in it such as Don and Rosie having to adjust their work schedules according to Hudson's (their son) schooling.

This book is about Don and his son living parallel lives. It brings us back to Don's upbringing and how he didnt want to have the relationship with Hudson how he had with his father.

Don and Hudson both self-identify themselves as autistic as they both struggled to socially fit in at school.

Don had helped Hudson fit In at school by helping him learn things that are neurotypical of nature such as learning how to catch a ball.

 Don also builds his own business known as 'The Library' which is a bar with a suitable atmosphere for Aspies. Hudson is very intelligent for his age and learns to code for the app and this brings success to the business as many customers order through the app. This was another way how Don had helped Hudson.

Hudson makes friends with a girl called Blanche who has Albinism. Don was critical of her parents because they were against getting their child vaccinated. 

There is a twist in this book as Hudsons best friend Blanche accuses Hudson of killing a bird which makes the school think he is autistic and might end up killing someone. However, Blanche opens up to the situation and Hudson helps her in the race which results in the school overlooking Hudsons autism. This was also what he talks about In the graduation ceremony. 

Blanche, Hudson and his other friend Dov got into the same high school. Hudson has a dream of becoming a lawyer so that he could help others who are not able to speak for themselves like he can.
