From the reviews of Hotel California:

‘A terrific account of the interface between idealism and squalor, art and commerce’

Guardian Guide

‘Takes you right into the backyards of Laurel Canyon…A masterful history’

Observer Music Monthly

‘A comprehensive account of the Golden State’s denim-clad, narcissistic heyday’

Mojo

‘Barney Hoskyns brings a genuine love as well as an outsider’s keen eye to the rise and fall of the California scene in the ’60s and ’70s. It’s a riveting story, sensitively told’

ANTHONY DECURTIS, Contributing Editor, Rolling Stone

‘If you are looking for the ingredients required of a good rock ’n’ roll story, Hotel California has got the lot…a murky tale in which a sprawling cast of A-list celebrities nurture their collective inner child with a steady diet of promiscuous sex, hard drugs and soft tunes spiced with appropriately confessional lyrics…an ambitious and authoritative account

which makes overdue sense of a spectacularly decadent period of pop history’

DAVID SINCLAIR, Guardian

‘The scene is small, intimate and hopeful, and Hoskyns writes about it with a similar delicacy and verve’

The Times

‘Fantastic’

PHIL JUPITUS

‘Brilliant’
