Skip it CC If you are a true fan of "The Wire" and want to read an in depth book about the show and its' creators, skip this book. It is mostly filled with short recaps of the episodes and lots of fan blogs for each one. Buy "The Wire - Truth Be Told" by Rafael Alvarez instead. You'll be glad you did.. deceptive title I was excited to read "The Guardian guide", but I can't see how this merits that title. It's largely a bunch of quick blog entries and user comments upon those blogs.As already suggested: skip this, get "Truth Be Told" instead.. Not a real guide Julie Fruscella I bought this book as gift for someone who loved the showand I gotta say it's not really a "guide" to the show. It's more of quotes from fan's and what they think are the greatest episodes or characters. I don't recommend this book, unless you absolutely must have every book on The Wire.
Nothing like it has been made before and—to its millions of fans—nothing as good will ever be made again. Together with interviews with the show's creators and stars, running totals per episode (murders, Bunk drunk, Herc screw-ups, and much more), and a quiz created by the stars themselves, this book will guarantee fans that one last fix they've been craving.. Is Omar Little the coolest criminal since Robin Hood? Which series has the best theme tune? Will Bubbles survive Baltimore? Avon or Str
