Reviews

A wonderfully assured writer * Sunday Times *
Juliet, Naked is ingenious, funny and moving * Daily Mail *
A comic delight. In Juliet, Naked the author once again deftly but affectionately anatomizes the foibles of flawed men and women * Evening Standard *
Sharp, funny, touching . . . Nick Hornby's triumph is to find infinite amounts of warmth and humour in this seeming world of desolation * Daily Telegraph *
