![]() ![]() Don had a number of other characters to relate to in this book. Rosie felt like a shadowy character in this book, she was there in the background, but not really fully fleshed. ![]() ![]() The decision that Rosie came to in the course of events was something I felt might be inevitable. I wasn't that keen on the relationship between Don and Rosie in this book, except perhaps towards the end. What Don neglects to do is give Rosie the support she needs and fails to be involved in ways that Rosie sees as essential. You don't want to know his version of a pram and cot. He becomes an expert on the total nine months and all birthing possibilities. And when he has finished with that he turns to the practicalities of preparing a baby. Don is totally thrown when he learns that he and Rosie are expecting a baby. To me he is the voice of Don Tillman! His voice, his phrasing and emphasis on certain words just brings this story so alive. Like the first book I chose to listen to the audio version because Dan O'Grady totally nails the narration. I am still undecided about how much I liked The Rosie Effect. The Rosie Effect follows on from The Rosie Project, and as I enjoyed the latter very much, I didn't wait too long to listen to the second book. ![]()
