High Fidelity

Author: Nick Hornby

Teaser on the back of the book:

‘Reading High Fidelity is like listening to a great single. You know it’s wonderful from the minute it goes on, and as soon as it’s over you want to hear it again because it makes you feel young, and grown-up, and puts a stupid grin on your face all at the same time. If this book was a record, we would be calling it an instant classic. Because that’s what it is.’

Suzanne Moore, Guardian
