– Som jente og ikke spesielt stor fan av fotball likte jeg denne boken veldig godt. Den handler om en gutt hvis liv er å gå på fotballkamper. Den største frykten hans er at laget hans taper sånn at han blir mobbet på skolen av de som var supportere av et annet lag. Han reiser fra forstaden han bor i inn til London hvor han på ta på seg en "arbeiderklasse aksent" for å passe inn med de andre supporterne.
Nick Hornby er en veldig flink forfatter og han har fantastisk morsomme skildringer av ting. Det beste er at man trenger ikke å vite noe om fotball for å like boken, men jeg innbiller meg at hvis man er iherdig fotballsupporter vil denne boken være enda morsommere og lese.

– If you are in any way interested in British Football, Fever Pitch is a must read. Hornby describes the process of his physical, emotional, and intellectual growth in the context of his love for the game of football. The detail and anecdotes are entertaining. It was easy to wade through this work, and even though as a US Citizen my detail knowledge of the games, players and rivalries was minimal, simply being a fan of the game will keep you turning the pages.. As fate would have it, I read the book during a recent visit to the UK. While there, I had the opportunity to watch two football matches in different London pubs. The excitement was infectious and provided an added layer of enjoyment to Hornby's work....

– This book offers a very good image of the extremes that fans go to for their addiction when it ocmes to soccer. As a soccer fan, I can see a glimpse of myself in the pages, though I am not as radical as the author ever was.
There is much insight into the feelings of soccer fans and their way of thinking. Particularly interesting and true is the feeling that only those that follow the team through the bad times should be allowed to cheer in the good times. Very true in myself included, I am afraid. However, given the deep focus on soccer, there is not much there for the non soccer fan. Even being a soccer fan, one needs to be quite familiar with English teams and the championships they play in order to fully follow the author. The book have benefitted from an explanatory appendix, but then again, true fans wouldn't need and might find it offensive if there were one.

– Nick Hornby tells his life story through Fever Pitch, but the emotions and struggles he describes will undoubtedly resonate with many a male reader. We learn all we need to know about English soccer, the Premier League, the Arsenal Football Club, and, most of all, Nick Hornby, in its pages.
The author's coherent weaving of sport into the larger tapestry of life is something that only a very abstract mind could have accomplished. I sometimes get out the section on the Arsenal footballer, Gus Ceasar, and read it aloud to whoever will listen as it sums up the fact that outside of athletic competition, few incompetent individuals are ever discovered or found out. I loved this book.

– Nick Hornby is now desevedly well known for High Fidelity, but in my opinion this book is even better. The story centers around his obsession with the English Division 1 football team Arsenal, but you don't have to like or care about the sport to really enjoy this book. If you happen to be somewhat on the fanatical side of devotion to a particular team in any sport, you'll see a lot here that will ring very true.
As in High Fidelity, Hornby really captures the essence of this experience and expresses it in a way that is precise, revealing and humorous.
So if you are a fanatic devotee of a sports team or you'd like to understand someone who is Then read this book...
