Friday Night Lights by Buzz Bissinger is a thriller story about high school football in Texas. Every Friday night, the Texas townspeople gather to watch high school football, which is a huge deal to their lives. Not only about football, but the book also talks about politics, racism, and the economic issues in Texas during the 1980’s. The book was made popular by the television series Friday Night Lights, which was based on the book, and both are based on a true story. This page-turning book is perfect for those who enjoy football and a good story about teamwork and relationships. I highly recommend it. I enjoyed the whole story about Boobie Miles.This book is totally different from the move and the T.V series. The book also tells about how the creators of the movie and the show didn't care about the real Boobie Miles. The creators took Boobies name and story for a few 100 dollars. If you read this book you will feel bad for him because he was given the short end of the stick by the movie makers. After they bought his name and story they just forgot about him and didn't care who the real Boobie was. I would recommend this book to people that like sports.
34 pages, essay by Buzz Bissinger about Boobie Miles years after the events of the book. Sad story.

It was rather dark, but it was honest and extremely high-interest. I recommend it.
