All the pieces matter

All the pieces matter: the inside story of The Wire / Jonathan Abrams, 345 pgs.

If you love The Wire, then this is a great book for you.  This oral history is a compilations of interviews of many members of the cast, crew, and creators.  It is not something to read if you have not watched the series because it contains an enormous amount of spoilers. The series is considered by many to be the finest to ever air on television but received very little acclaim when it was on the air and was up for only a few awards.  Remarkable writing and acting elevated the stories, each season with a different focus but all set in Baltimore.  Reading this makes me want to re-watch it all from the beginning.
