READ THE ROSIE PROJECT AND INTEND TO DO SO, BACK AWAY FROM THIS REVIEW IMMEDIATELY THERE IS ZER...Is the magic gone It feels like it is.Last year, I remember thinking that The Rosie Project was my favorite chick lit book ever, which was ironic because it had been written by a man I thought it was hilarious and original.This year, after reading The Rosie Effect, I am asking myself was the first book much better or I just read it at the time when I had a better mood for it I don t know But reading The Rosie Effect just wasn t the same I didn t find it funny, the jokes felt old and r Is the

delightful sequences where Don manages to land on his feet despite everything This book becomes muchserious than The Rosie Project though and there are some sad and some stressful moments too I was
