Hi All-

I just got this- has anyone else bought it and started reading? I'm only a few days in so far, but love it! If anyone is a fan of the show, I'd HIGHLY recommend it. It gives some great insight to the show...

It's written in the first person narrative by Augustus Hill, and is told exactly as he speaks when narrating on the show.

Like I said, I love it so far- what does everyone else think?

Has anyone bought it who hasn't watched the show?

If you're interested in prison lit, I recommend Jimmy Lerner's YOU GOT NOTHING COMING. Excellent book.

In the process of looking up "You Got Nothing Coming" I saw another book recommended that I read a while back called "The Hot House: Life Inside Leavenworth Prison", which was an excellent book written by Pete Earley, a man who was an outsider who was given unlimited access to the prison for a few years, with the stipulation that he would have no protection while inside. It focuses on 5 or so priosners mainly, and a few guards as well. Very well done.

I like prison books and movies....like Shawshank Redemption and Green Mile....damn I hope that's not like a premonition that I'm going to the big house......

thanks for the tips- I have 2 books on my "want list" now!

didnt get it yet....but need it oh so bad. glad to hear it's a really good one, thanks!
