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

OFF SCREEN THEY WERE LEGENDS

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

Like the rejuvenating martinis and blurry haze of cigarettes in Mad Men, Robert Sellers's nostalgic Hellraisers . . . amounts to an unapologetic celebration of the plastered and the damned.--The Wall Street Journal

A rowdy collection of greatest hits.--The New York Times

An incredibly entertaining series of anecdotes, interspersed with unpretentious and conversational interviews--all about drinking.--Los Angeles Times

The most outrageous film book of the season, by far.--The Buffalo News
