Summary
Penguin presents the unabridged, downloadable audiobook edition of Fever Pitch, by Nick Hornby, read by Julian Rhind-Tutt.
As a young boy, growing up in the Home Counties and watching his parent's marriage fall apart, Nick Hornby had little sense of home. Then his dad took him to Highbury.
Arsenal's football ground would become the source of many of the strongest feelings he'd ever have: joy, humiliation, heartbreak, frustration, and hope.
In this now-classic book, he vividly depicts his troubled relationship with his father, his time as a teacher, and his first loves (after football), all through the prism of the game, as he insightfully and brilliantly explores obsession, and the way it can shape a life.

Chapters are in the correct order as of June 2018
The chapter order problem mentioned in previous reviews seems to have been sorted now. Enjoy this masterpiece. UTA

Not bad but messed up chapters.
Appears to be a problem with chapter organisation as the last couple of chapters appeared half way through the book. With audible sign off advert.
Apart from that couldn't fault the performance or the self contained stories and history

2nd half chapters play in reverse
Great book/story but at about Chapter 30, the audiobook jumps to the last chapter and plays the remainder in reverse, finishing in the middle.

Book is still broken (Jan 2018)
Chapters in wrong order as others have said. Audible should not be selling this.
Story and narration are excellent

Disgraceful Product
An amazing book and performance has been completely ruined. Halfway through the story the audiobook completely messes up and all the chapters become muddled. It destroys the story and is a complete disgrace. How has something so stupid been allowed to happen?

Fantastic
An excellently written journey through football before franchises, capturing perfectly the confusing complexities of an obsessive football fan. Wonderfully read, also.

Good read for any Arsenal fan
This book helps me feel okay about my Arsenal obsession. I've read a lot of books by former arsenal players so it was good to see the "view from the stands", to have a different angle of Arsenal's history (as I've only been a fan for 15 seasons)
