What They're Saying
Critics Review
Insomnia could only be more of its time if it were hand delivered by Jack Nicholson and Liza Minnelli … it is class-A gossip, the seventies crème de la crème caught up in their most excessive, decadent pomp … intense, exciting, at times delirious fun. * THE TIMES *
Insomnia offers a thrilling inside story of wild times in 1970s Hollywood … The work they both did during that period stands for itself: some of the greatest art in their respective fields that the world has ever seen or heard. The beautiful, honest and insightful writing of Insomnia only adds to its lustre. * TELEGRAPH *
A bracing read, written with enough precision and velocity. * INDEPENDENT *
Insomnia is an energetic re-telling of a period that is crucial in the careers of its two main subjects. We can really feel the genesis of a great collaboration starting here, and the importance of each for the other at dark periods in their respective lives. It’s fun, insightful and a celebration of the work of both. 8⁄10. * CLASH *
In this tale of wandering and homecoming, of trying and failing and trying something else, Robertson’s humanity feels plenty generous. * MOJO *
The book chronicles a wild ride of drugs, hookups, and many movie viewing sessions, often over pasta or fine food. * ROLLING STONE *
