Description

Nick Hornby's internationally bestselling first novel, available as a Penguin Essential for the first time.

Do you know your desert-island, all-time, top five most memorable split-ups?

Rob does. He keeps a list, in fact. But Laura isn't on it - even though she's just become his latest ex. He's got his life back, you see. He can just do what he wants when he wants: like listen to whatever music he likes, look up the girls that are on his list, and generally behave as if Laura never mattered. But Rob finds he can't move on. He's stuck in a really deep groove - and it's called Laura. Soon, he's asking himself some big questions: about love, about life - and about why we choose to share ours with the people we do.

A million-copy bestseller, and adapted into a 2000 film starring John Cusack, High Fidelity explores the world of break-ups, make-ups and what it is to be in love. This astutely observed and wickedly funny book will be enjoyed by readers of David Nicholls and William Boyd, and by generations of readers to come.

'It will give enormous pleasure at the same time as expanding in a small but worthwhile way, the range of English literature' Independent on Sunday

'Leaves you believing not only in the redemptive power of music but above all the redemptive power of love. Funny and wise, sweet and true' Independent

'A triumphant first novel. True to life, very funny and moving' Financial Times

Mittelmäßig gealtert, der Bedarf an Perspektiven egozentrischer, männlicher Mittdreißiger ist bei mir aber vielleicht auch einfach gedeckt.

Was soll ich sagen - nach vielen Jahren nochmals gelesen und für mich ist der Roman nicht gut gealtert. Oder vielleicht bin ich mittlerweile zu alt für die Story. Wer weiß….

4

Ein must-read für Vinyl-Fans, Musik-Aficionados und Leuten, die in ihrem Leben bisher nur vor sich hergebumnelt haben. Nerd in Midlife-Crisis meets the big Love. Oder auch nicht?

The only good thing about this book is that it shows you what kind of person NOT to be.

1

Five reasons why this book sucks: 1. Lists 2. Douchebag protagonist 3. Lists 4. Too much self-pity and selfishness in too many monologues 5. Lists

Tolles Buch. Tolle Charaktere. Musik

Ein sehr leicht zu lesenes Buch mit vielen witzigen Stellen. Die Story ist nichts weltbewegenes, eher Urlaubslektüre.

1

It was mostly self pity and not as funny as intended. I feel sorry about the end....

2

It’s not too bad you know, maybe a change of scenery in books but apart from the light entertainment i just didn’t like any of the characters which seemed pretty annoying… it’s kinda sad tho that I didn’t like it as much

A quick, uplifting read that made me feel good. This book reminded me about my own 'music nerd phase', when life was more carefree. And I liked that nostalgia. Would read again.

Well, I guess Nick and me aren't becoming friends in this live anymore.

Ein langweiliges Buch mit nervigen Hauptcharakter. Schade!
