Some terrific early reviews for Nick Hornby’s Juliet, Naked:

“Nick Hornby’s warmhearted Juliet, Naked returns him to the subject that animated his 1995 classic, High Fidelity: rock music and the obsessiveness of its more enthusiastic fans.” –Vogue

“Music geeks everywhere can finally quit jonesin’: Nick Hornby is back with Juliet, Naked. It’s the winning story of a musical genius in decline, an obsessive fan, and a woman who ends up loving—and sleeping with—them both.” –GQ
