Friday Night Lights by H. G. Bissinger
Friday Night Lights by H. G. Bissinger is a true story that takes you into the lives of a high school football team at their goal to win a state championship. The Odessa High School Permian Panthers are one of the highest ranked football teams going in to the football season. The season gets off to a good start but takes a unexpected blow when the team’s star player Boobie Miles gets injured. The team continues to battle and face many other obstacles ahead of them. They deal with a lot of local pressure and all work their hardest to get to their goals. Friday Night Lights is one of the most inspirational stories I have ever read and I would recommend it to anyone. It is truly a remarkable story that puts you into the shoes of these young high school men and is full of surprises.

This book was very inspirational. I enjoyed how deep the author went inside the characters. When you read the book you really feel as if you know Boobie Miles or Ivory Christian. The trials that the whole team went through show what it takes to achieve your goals. The book shows how much the town and the whole state of Texas is wrapped around football and how anyone who plays is a town hero and receive special privilages. I think that everyone should read this book, even if they are not football fans.
