"As the colorful anecdotes collected in this book make clear, some stars are born rather than made."--New York Post

"Hellraisers takes us back to the glory days of stage and screen actors Peter O'Toole, Richard Burton, Richard Harris, and Oliver Reed."--Connecticut News

"So wonderfully captures the wanton belligerence of both binging and stardom you almost feel the guys themselves are telling the tales."--GQ
