I too find some of the most heart-dropping, important books to be ones where the writer did something utterly rule-breaking, utterly unexpected. I think of Margaret Mitchell when Bonnie Blue died. And some of Andrew Klavan's situations. Or Stephen King letting Gage meet his fate in PET SEMETARY. Just reading this post makes me feel inspired about my next novel--thanks for thinking so deeply about why you love this show!<br /><br />And I hope your son hits the when-I-was-21-it-amazed-me-how-much-the-old-(wo)man-had-learned-in-4-years stage soon :) Mine is 5 and still all, I wuv you, in the mornings...Jenny Milchmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04410805792044518458noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2914373095764685039.post-68788519937723659522011-07-27T10:54:43.504-07:002011-07-27T10:54:43.504-07:00Brenda, just stopping by during the Blogger's ...Brenda, just stopping by during the Blogger's Ball.

Since I have 3 sons & two are in their teen years, I totally relate to your story about wanting to at least be in the same room with them. <br />You're a great mom. <br /><br />MichelleKCanada<br />http://anotherlookbookreviews.blogspot.com/Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04462149255674900146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2914373095764685039.post-46188132174953570212011-07-26T14:24:57.055-07:002011-07-26T14:24:57.055-07:00I'll have to check out Justified.

You are right on when you say it's fearless. The only show I can compare it to is Dexter. Both are difficult to watch because they are so raw. Both protags are not good people but somehow, amazingly, you see the nuance and root for them.<br /><br />I have zero knowledge of anything to do with drugs, so part of the fascination with BB is just how dark and messed up the life of junkies is, and the effects it has on families. Pretty much every actor down to the teen son and the uncle who's a cop are top notch. <br /><br />Another great show I'd recommend is Justified on FX. You can get season 1 on DVD now. The writing is excellent and it's up for a few deserved Emmy's.Stephscohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06328839483008086049noreply@blogger.com
