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

Hornby's sunniest novel

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

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

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.
