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 parents' 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.

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?

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.

The chapter order problem mentioned in previous reviews seems to have been sorted now. Enjoy this masterpiece. UTA
