Love of Love Songs

Posted: 13 Dec 2009 09:58 PM PST

The reviews are starting to come in for Love Songs for the Shy and Cynical, and the critics love it! Here are a few examples:

Just finished this book and not for a long time has a book made me laugh out loud so much and so often. Some very dark and bleak humour in places and all the more superb for it. Read it. It's fantastic!
- D Gillespie, Amazon

Shearman runs with his ideas to places that are often wonderful, or sometimes awful but impeccably written. There are scenes of hideous embarrassment that would make The Office proud, dazzling conclusions that turn on the last line or word, and a few bits which you read again to check he actually dared to write that.
- Andrew Osmond, SFX

Throughout the book the author will have you remembering moments in your life; times of great happiness but most of all the toe-curling, embarrassing moments that result in the pursuit of 'love'... I cannot recommend Robert Shearman's Love Songs for the Shy and Cynical highly enough. Read it and see your life flash before your eyes.
- Fantasy Book Review

Order your copy now! Oh, and a quick reminder that Rob will be signing copies of the book this Saturday, 19 December, at The Corner Store, 33 Wellington Street, Strand, London, WC2E 7BN.

As well as signing, Rob will also be reading from the book. The event runs from 12pm-5pm.
