A review by dubsington
Fever Pitch by Nick Hornby

3.0

You had best like yourself some Nick Hornby, or you'd better be a football (read:soccer) fanatic if you're going really dig this book. I happen to be quite a sports enthusiast so I was okay with it. The book is mostly a series of page-or-two vignettes that parallel Hornby's life with his football obsession. At times he is insightful about both life and football, and at other times both sides fall flat. As a fan of sport, it was interesting to get a clear glimpse into another fanatics way of life, but if you're not a big fan of sports, specifically football, this one may best be left on the shelf.
