It’s a total cliché to say it but they don’t make ‘em like these guys anymore! Four of this nations most talented, respected and admired actors who could also knock back the booze like nobody’s business. This book chronicles some of their most outrageous behaviour; sometimes shocking, sometimes hilarious and some times just downright lunacy…and yet the public still loved them, one and all. Not that we advocate this kind of behaviour at Lovereading (!), but this is a fantastic book about four men who partied hard and seemed to have a whale of a time!
Hellraisers tells the story of four of the greatest boozers of all time: Richard Burton, Richard Harris, Peter O'Toole and Oliver Reed. Robert Sellers and Jake cleverly weave the four biographies seamlessly into one fast-paced adventure of drunken binges, orgies, parties and fun. Told through the eyes of Martin, a wannabe Hellraiser, the story begins in a typical London pub at Christmas time. One by one, each of the four Hellraisers take this disillusioned soul on a personal tour of their childhoods, rise to stardom and chaotic personal lives.
