Are you a fan of The Wire?

Then you should check out this book.



I'm incredibly busy but I found some time to start reading this memoir by the actress who plays Snoop on The Wire. She grew with her foster parents, who were great except that they were very elderly and couldn't keep her out of trouble. Like her character, she turned into a junior drug dealer and violent thug. She went to prison for murder but turned her life around when she got the job acting in The Wire.

If you haven't been following The Wire, here's a fantastic video that condenses four seasons into four minutes. A few of the subplots and minor characters get dropped but it really covers all the major stuff.
