What to expect

In celebration of it's 20th anniversary, Penguin presents the unabridged, downloadable, audiobook edition of High Fidelity, by Nick Hornby, read by Russell Tovey.

Nick Hornby's first novel, an international bestseller and instantly recognized by critics and readers alike as a classic, helps to explain men to women, and men to men. Rob is good on music: he owns a small record shop and has strong views on what's decent and what isn't. But he's much less good on relationships. In fact, he's not at all sure that he wants to commit himself to anyone. So it's hardly surprising that his girlfriend decides that enough is enough.

Critics Review

  • Leaves you believing not only in the redemptive power of music but above all the redemptive power of love

    Indepedent
  • A triumphant first novel. True to life and moving

    Financial Times
  • Extremely cleverly observed

    Mail on Sunday
  • An instant classic

    Guardian
  • Fast, fun, and remarkably deft: a sharp-edged portrait that manages at once to be vicious, generous, and utterly good-natured
