Fever Pitch Audiobook (Unabridged)

" It was a difficult book for me to get through. I had read some excellent reviews, and have read other pieces by Hornby, granted, most are short, but I did not find it very engaging. Maybe it's because I do not enjoy soccer very much, maybe it's because I would find someone so obsessed with one sport to be a bit annoying. I love sports as much as anyone else, in fact, more than most people, but an obsession like that is just irritating. Of course, I also am not familiar with soccer/football in England, so perhaps English people or other Anglophiles would enjoy it immensely. "

" another book I could not finish, actually had no luck in gettting started --- my mind kept wandering as I read. "

" A must-read for any football fanatic. So much different to the movie. Nick Hornby is mad, brilliantly mad. "

" I liked the movie better (the british, 1st Fever Pitch movie) because it added the element of sacrificing one's relationship for one's crazy obsession, but it's an interesting portrait of obsession nonetheless. "

" My entire book club apparently thought this was a novel when we picked it. We all love Hornby, but none of us could finish this book. One friend said it suffers from everything having equal weight. I agree. And no narrative arc whatever. Bah. Stick to the novels. "

" a book my girlfriend and I agree on. "

" Complicated book. Don't read it unless you are an Arsenal fan and you were born in the 50-60. "

" It's about growing up as an Arsenal fan, which I am not, so I don't understand most of the references! Well written though! "

" Nick Hornby introduced me to a new level of football fandom. :) "

" For an American who played soccer for 30 years, but only started to follow English soccer recently, this is a fine course in the culture and history of the Premiership. "

" in the middle of reading this book, jimmy fallon burst into my room and laughed at an inappropriate moment. horatio sanz (who is often a weekend houseguest of mine) found this hilarious. chris parnell, a consumate professional, was nonplussed. "

" As a neophyte Arsenal fan I found this book intriguing, if not a little intimidating. It was well-written, and of course, about more than just football. Thought it was great. Put my sports fandom in perspective. "

" this was one that i liked, but found myself missing out on parts since i'm not a brit. still much better than the american movie. "

" Nerdy and therapy characterized about boring Arsenal in the pre-Wenger era. Good fun and charming though, especially the listing of perfect match ingredients in one of the last chapters "
