“It is rare that a book so hilarious is also so sharp about sex and manliness, memory and music. Many men and, certainly, all addictive personalities will find in these pages shadows of themselves. And most of us will hear, in Hornby’s acoustic prose, the obsessive chords of the past that more often lock up than liberate our hearts”
The New Yorker

“It is rare that a book so hilarious is also so sharp about sex and manliness, memory and music. Many men and, certainly, all addictive personalities will find in these pages shadows of themselves. And most of us will hear, in Hornby’s acoustic prose, the obsessive chords of the past that more often lock up than liberate our hearts” “As funny, compulsive and contemporary a first novel as you could wish for.”
GQ

“Hornby captures the loneliness and childishness of life with such precision and wit that you’ll find yourself nodding and smiling. High Fidelity fills you with the same sensation you get from hearing a debut record album that has more charm and verve and depth than anything you can recall.”
The New York Times Book Review

“One of the top ten books of the year.”
Entertainment Weekly

“Hornby’s seamless prose and offhand humor make for one hilarious set piece after another, as suffering, self-centered Rob ruminates on women, sex, and Abbey Road. But then he’s forced to consider loneliness, fitting-in, death, and failure and that is what lingers.”
Spin

“Keep this book away from your girlfriend it contains too many of your secrets to let it fall into the wrong hands.”
