Penguin Shop: 3 Clothbound Classics for £33

Funny, charming and heart-warming, this debut is a gem of a novel about a rather awkward university professor's search for love. I loved this unconventional romance

Full of quirky humour and touching tenderness. Imagine the love child of Eleanor Oliphant and Bridget Jones and you have this book

Such a joy to read - I honestly can't think of many books that I enjoyed more. It's the definition of a comfort book - an easy and warm read with a lot of heart, and it made me laugh out loud more than any book before

Brisk, funny, and at times outrageous . . . A completely charming story that is as engaging as it is funny

A unique and heartwarming exploration of love and neurodiversity.

Funny, endearing, and pure, wonderful escapism

A sweet, funny rom-com . . . You'll be willing Don and Rosie on every step of the way

Touching and laugh-out-loud funny -- think The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time meets Silver Linings Playbook

A hilarious, unlikely romance with heartbreaking twists

Don Tillman is one of the most endearing, charming and fascinating literary characters I have met in a long time

I absolutely loved The Rosie Project -- original and clever, and perfectly written.The world is going to fall in love with Don and Rosie

A poignant, funny novel about how you don't find love; it finds you

Don Tillman will exasperate, delight and immerse you in a world so original, in a story so compelling, I defy you not to read through the night. Glorious

Adriana Trigiani, author of The Shoemaker's Wife

Beneath the fun and the fluff there is a quietly profound exploration of the assumptions around autism and what it means to have an atypical - or typical - brain

Adorable . . . Really funny and heart-warming, a gem of a book

If you like The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night Time you'll love The Rosie Project

Written in a superbly pitch-perfect voice, The Rosie Project had me cheering for Don on every page. I'm madly in love with this book! Trust me, you will be, too

Lisa Genova, author of Still Alice and left Neglected

The best, most honestly told love story I've read in a long time

Marvellous. Don Tillman is as awkward and confusing a narrator as he is lovable and charming

John Boyne, author of The Boy In the Striped Pyjamas

As well as being delightfully romantic, this is a very funny book and you'll be laughing out loud at Don's misadventures
