About this listen

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.

Excellent book, but the audio comes through quieter than others on here, which made it a bit quiet even on top volume on my phone.

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.

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

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)

Good read for any Arsenal fan

So close to the truth

For the true gunners fan

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?

Disgraceful Product
