‘A spanking 7-0 away win of a football book... inventive, honest, funny, heroic, charming’ Jim White, Independent‘I fell in love with football as I was later to fall in love with women: suddenly, inexplicably, uncritically, giving no thought to the pain or disruption it would bring...’For many people watching football is mere entertainment; to some it’s more like a ritual; but to others, its highs and lows provide a narrative to life itself. For Nick Hornby, his devotion to the game has provided one of the few contants in a life where the meaningful things - like growing up, leaving home and forming relationships, both parental and romantic - have rarely been as simple or as uncomplicated as his love for Arsenal.Brimming with wit and honesty, Fever Pitch catches perfectly what it really means to be a football fan - and in doing so, what it means to be a man.‘Funny, wise and true’ Roddy Doyle‘Hornby has put his finger on truths that have been unspoken for generations. Furthermore, he writes beautifully. A damn good read. Buy it’ Irish Times‘A sophisticated study of obsession, families, masculinity, class, identity, growing up, loyalty, depression and joy. Hornby should write for England’ Observer‘Utterly hilarious. Even football-haters will be beguiled’ Elle
