APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
If you have strong feelings about whether Elvis Costello’s early records were punk or New Wave, High Fidelity is the romantic comedy you didn’t know you needed. And as much as we love the Americanised movie adaptation starring John Cusack, Nick Hornby’s London-set novel is even better. He perfectly captures the arrested-development voice of record-store owner Rob Fleming, who’s passionate about his vinyl collection and clueless about why his girlfriend Laura just dumped him. Hilariously funny and unexpectedly touching, this is essential reading for music geeks and those who love them.
