A Friday Night Lights Companion: Love, Loss, and Football in Dillon, Texas by Leah Wilson
4.0
I love the TV show that this book revolves around. It is my favorite show and I never get tired of catching random episodes on TV or starting a rewatch for the nth time. This book really reminded me of why I love Friday Night Lights.
My favorite sections were, by far, the "Why We Love..." character series, written by Jen Chaney. The characters of this show are what make it so special to me, and it was so fun to relive some of their best lines and moments. While I didn't always agree with some of these sections (I really dislike Landry Clark. No love about it.), they just reminded me of what makes my favorite show so special to watch and discuss.
I took a star off because some of the other essays didn't really capture me. The article by Paul Levinson contained too many demographic and viewing numbers that I didn't really care about reading, and, for some reason, I couldn't connect with the tone that Travis Stewart presented in his piece (the lengthy footnotes didn't help).
Overall, this was a really great read for fans of FNL.
