A rollicking read
*Sunday Express*
Sellers' biography is a jaw-dropping account of their twisted,
tortured, politically incorrect lives
*Daily Record*
Robert Sellers gleefully follows the seedy lives of the four
liver-abusing actors as they drink, brawl and shag their way
through the decades into eventual oblivion
*Metro*
The best book we've ever read involving binge drinking, botched
stage entrances, Hollywood floozies and British movie stars . . .
Sometimes the form of a piece so perfectly fits its content you can
actually hear the angels of accordance purr. Such is the case with
Hellraisers . . . The sprightly smash 'n dash of the prose so
wonderfully captures the wanton belligerence of both bingeing and
stardom you almost feel the guys themselves are telling the
tales
*GQ*
Unputdownable ... Sports book of the half-century, you might even
say
*Guardian*
