A review by lucahws
Fever Pitch by Nick Hornby

4.0

Absolutely hilarious, tender and bittersweet Fever Pitch confirms my suspicions that Hornby is one of my favourite writers. Reading this book feels like looking back through your parents photo albums, there’s a wonderful feeling of nostalgia that he recalls despite writing about 0-0 draws and defeats to Swindon and Wrexham. Hornby captures a very authentic experience of growing up being a football fan as both a teenager and an adult in a changing world. To quote Danny Rojas: “Football is life”.
