Highly entertaining . . . a beguiling, thoroughly enjoyable read
Sunday Times
Simply unputdownable
Guardian
Warm, funny, touching . . . winningly perceptive about human relationships and changing social trends
Daily Telegraph
Like all Hornby's best work, it is both hugely enjoyable and deceptively artful
Spectator
Everything Hornby writes is addictively readable and clever, but with Funny Girl he has surpassed himself
Red
Hornby's sunniest novel
Metro
So simple, so easy to read and yet so sensitive and profound at the same time. This is a world that feels real and one you don't want to leave
Independent on Sunday
Nick Hornby is pretty much always poignant and hilarious
Huffington Post
Effortlessly engaging... Hornby's writing is so fluid, he has a great knack for capturing atmosphere and skewering a character with a killer phrase
Evening Standard
Nick Hornby's funny, winningly perceptive novel is a pleasure to read
Telegraph
Resolutely, winningly light-hearted
Observer
Everything he writes is addictively readable and clever, but with this one he just surpasses himself
Red
Fans won't be disappointed by this new story... endearing, humorous and touching, full of spot-on period detail, all brought to vivid life by a cast of very human characters. Hugely enjoyable
Sunday Mirror
If you devoured About a Boy and whizzed through High Fidelity you're going to love Nick Hornby's brilliant new novel. Hilarious and captivating, this is a fabulous read
Take a Break
There is something about Hornby's writing that is so simple, so easy-to-read and yet so sensitive and profound at the same time, that anything he writes turns out very special. The premise of Funny Girl is like a lot of Nick Hornby's irritatingly genius ideas: something so obvious you can't believe no one thought of it before.
