Story "Made
me laugh out loud more than any book I can
remember. Hornby writes like Martin Amis with a
heart or Roddy Doyle with an unfeasibly large
record collection..." (Tony Parsons - Daily
Telegraph) "Brilliant
... a very funny and concise explanation of why we
men are as we are. If you are male, you should read
it and then make your partner read it, so they will
no longer hate you but pity you instead" (Harry
Enfield - Independent on Sunday) We
Say A book which
simply gives appraisal quotes on the back cover
instead of a proper story introduction is either
being very brave or very cocky. 'Read me', it's
saying. 'Don't worry about the story - you'll like
it'. Rob Fleming owns
a small record shop in London, his girlfriend has
not long left him, and he's feeling a little unsure
about his past. So begins an adventure in
discovering the more uncertain part of our minds. I
say our minds because the focus is very much
on realising just how much of Rob Fleming is in
most of us. Chances are, you'll find yourself
relating to more of High Fidelity than you'd admit
amongst friends. The story has a
recurring backbone of music and the book can be
considered a lesson (or a reminder) of how
much music shapes our lives. Again, you'll probably
have to admit to more than you'd like. Extremely funny,
thought-provoking - High Fidelity is simply a
fantastic book. Review
