The Rosie Result

 I borrowed and listened to The Rosie Result by Graeme Simsion before I knew it was the third in a series about a guy named Don Tillman. I think I will borrow the other two as well but read them in order. In this book Don is married to Rosie and the father of a ten year old boy named Hudson. They were living in New York but moved to Melbourne, Australis for job opportunities. Rosie is a psychologist and a researcher. Don is a professor of genetic research. Their son, Hudson, has some troubles adjusting to his new school. The teacher, principal, and counselor are laughably inept. Don has a emotional support group of men who help him with his decisions. The book is humorous. Don quirky communication style leads to hilarious misunderstandings. Don and Rosie's efforts to help their son are loveable but ineffective. In the end they learn more from Hudson than he does from them.
