This book was funny, interesting and entertaining and can make you feel as though you yourself are a bit boring! Burton, Harris, O'Toole and Ollie Reed were the greatest drinkers of all time," Sellers tells NPR's Scott Simon.

As he was being wheeled out on a stretcher to an ambulance, he propped himself up on emaciated elbows and shouted "It's the food!At the height of their fame Burton, O'Toole, Reed and Harris could be found drinking in an average pub with your average Joe, not at a top class establishment surrounded by 7ft bodyguards. Robert Sellers, the author, initially set out with the idea of a reference book of hell-raisers, only to discover that it would have been too episodic. Hellraisers is the story of four of the greatest boozers of all time: Richard Burton, Richard Harris, Peter O'Toole and Oliver Reed.

We are extremely proud of our high editorial and production values and are known for successfully promoting our authors through our innovative press and marketing campaigns. Since he wasn’t required on stage during the early part of the first act, Lawson settled into the stalls with Burton to watch the opening scenes like any other audience member. It’s a story of drunken binges of near biblical proportions, parties and orgies, broken marriages, drugs, riots and wanton sexual conquests. I did quite enjoy the days when one went for a beer at one’s local in Paris and wake up in Corsica,” Mr.My life has been enriched now that I know that Peter O'Toole once smuggled a pair of valuable earrings out of Egypt in his foreskin. Burton became a movie star and made some great films and some incredibly awful stinkbombs, but he had presence, as did the rest. A portrait of four profoundly flawed yet awesome leading men, as well as a window into a time when glamour was sacrosanct and when stardom was achieved rather than manufactured. One of life’s oddities is how often a series of genuinely comedic incidents congeals into, if not tragedy, then tragic loss. Hellraisers is the story of four of the greatest boozers who ever walked - or staggered - off a film set and into a pub: Richard Burton, Richard Harris, Peter O'Toole and Oliver Reed.
