Highly entertaining . . . a beguiling, thoroughly enjoyable
read

Simply unputdownable
*Guardian*
Warm, funny, touching . . . winningly perceptive about human
relationships and changing social trends

So simple, so easy to read and yet so sensitive and profound at the

to leave

Like all Hornby's best work, it is both hugely enjoyable and
deceptively artful

Everything Hornby writes is addictively readable and clever, but
with Funny Girl he has surpassed himself

Nick Hornby is pretty much always poignant and hilarious
*Huffington Post*
Beautifully captures the thrill of youthful success and of
discovering your own talent

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
