Reviews

"Zweig, who lives in Owen Sound, Ont., and has publishing ties to the NHL, has written an informative soft-covered read that moves along at a quick pace. Younger readers, especially early teens, might find it the perfect company while recovering from the flu bug."

Toronto Star, The

"This novel is particularly relevant in this year of the H1N1 scare...Ontario-based Zweig is most comfortable giving commentary on hockey games, but the story comes alive when he describes hockey legends Joe Hall and Newsy Lalonde. Good for hockey fans."

Winnipeg Free Press

"Eric Zweig, a sports historian, has written a very readable novel about a time in history that mirrors some of the issues we are facing today. David's friendship with the "tough guy" Joe Hall, who actually died of the Spanish Influenza during the course of the Stanley Cup Playoffs in 1919, will help readers to understand the human impact of the epidemic."

CM Magazine

"Zweig does a wonderful job of capturing the sights and flavours of life in Montreal nearly a century ago, and paints evocative and appealing characters in David, his family, Jean-Patrice, and Joe Hall. His portrayal of professional hockey in its infancy is nothing short of fascinating. Fever Season will appeal to readers from Grade 5 up, particularly those who enjoy historical fiction and hockey!"
