Friday Night Lights: A Town, a Team, and a Dream

So, I obviously only picked this up because of my love of Friday Night Lights the show, and I only got into FNL the show because so many people insisted that it didn't matter that I didn't care about football. (And also because of my undying crush on Kyle Chandler.) Anyway. This, I think, is a little more football-involved? And I cannot stress how little I care about football. But it's still really fascinating. I admire Bissinger's tone... observing everything that's totally effed-up in the town but not necessarily judging? There are a lot of factors at play in Odessa's culture. Hmm. It's not as heartwarming as FNL by any means. But it is a very interesting and fairly readable sociological study.
