The Rosie Result by Graeme Simsion, 378 pagesIn this third book focusing on genetics professor Don Tillman, we find Don, his wife Rosie, and 11-year-old son Hudson all struggling with awkward transitions in their lives. Rosie is attempting to convince her male colleagues that she's more than capable of being a mom and working full-time; Don has landed himself in hot water at work after committing a horrible race-related faux pas; and Hudson's teachers are pressuring Don and Rosie to have their son evaluated for autism. As he has always done, Don attempts to solve all of these problems methodically, with varying results.
After a bit of a dip from the second book in this trilogy, I'm happy to see Simsion return to form. Don's awkward but likeable; Rosie's understanding and strong; and Hudson seems like the kind of kid I'd like my own kid to hang out with. I think this series ended on the right note.
