Friday Night Lights

With two million copies in print, the #1 New York Timesbestseller is used as a textbook in high schools and colleges around the country. It is the basis for the acclaimed 2004 movie and the Emmy Award winning television series.

"Friday Night Lights has just about everything you could ask for...atmosphere, excitement and sheer gladiatorial spectacle...a cast of characters so rich that even a novelist (or a screenwriter) couldn't improve on it."--New York Times.

"Superb and disturbing....More than a sports book, it's a search for the America of ordinary people."--Newsday.

"Excellent and apparently immortal."--Boston Globe
