Friday Night Lights: A Town, a Team and a Dream by Buzz Bissinger
3.0
A good read about high school football, it covers the season of the Permian Panthers of Odessa Texas in 1988. But more than that, the author goes into great detail about the history of the community and it's relationship--it's obsession--with the game.
For those who have seen the movie, the book is very much more in-depth, and focuses a lot less on the coach and much more on the players. Plus it was interesting to see how the movie changed the real story to make things more dramatic, the story of Boobie Miles in particular. I found his real story more compelling.
