Beautifully captures the thrill of youthful success and of
discovering your own talent * Daily Telegraph *
Funny Girl may be read as Hornby's latest defence of popular
entertainment against high-culture elitism. Funny Girl makes his
case for him eloquently and entertainingly ... both hugely
enjoyable and deceptively artful * Spectator *
I loved this hymn to the 1960s, their infinite creative
possibilities * Scotsman *
Vivid, sparky, a bit schmaltzy, and it rattles along * Independent
*
Endearing, humorous and touching. Hugely enjoyable * Sunday Mirror
