All the Pieces Matter The Inside Story of The Wire® Jonathan Abrams Books

Abrams is a fantastic reporter who excels at earning his subjects' trust. This is a treasure trove of anecdotes and insider info for anyone who loved The Wire. Some knowledge of the show's events and themes is probably a prerequisite for enjoying or even understanding the book, since many of the interviews proceed from an assumption that the reader knows the show intimately. For real Wire obsessives, the most interesting contribution may come from series co-creator Ed Burns, whose reclusive nature has kept his voice hidden from most of the discourse up until this point but shows himself here unafraid to barbecue a few of the show's sacred cows.

All the Pieces Matter The Inside Story of The Wire® Jonathan Abrams Books Reviews

This book is AMAZING. If you loved The Wire, this is a must read. The author literally talked to everyone associated with the show (writers, actors, etc) and painted a great behind-the-scenes picture of The Wire.

I didn't get into TW until after it was over, so it was crazy interesting to hear their struggles as they filmed.

I don't wanna give stuff away, so I'll keep it short and non-spoiler(ey).

Essentially, the book breaks down the show by Seasons--starting at 1 and progressing until the end (Season 5).

TL;DR - Read this book. Game respect Game.
What a marvelous look at the actors and creators of the best project ever to be aired on television. This show will be watched by generations of individuals. The idea that it took a long time to be recognized and appreciated by television audiences is really not surprising. Most people are raised to watch idiotic shows with canned laughter and moronic scripts. When they finally watch something like "The Wire" their brain is in shock.
This show will live forever. There will always be a West Baltimore somewhere with a myriad of stories to be told.
BRAVO.
This was, indeed, exactly what I wanted from a book about The Wire. Interesting little stories from the people involved in the show; a sense of what it took to get the show going, and to continue in the face of an ongoing threat of cancellation; how everyone felt about the characters; and what everyone hoped to accomplish. Also, I really like the oral history format. And now I must watch the show again.
I got into the television show, The Wire, late like many viewers. I had been reading all the press and finally decided to catch up on the first three seasons prior to season four, widely considered to be the best of the series, in 2007. It was ground breaking in its realism, season long story arcs and the overall theme of the futility of institutions such as police, the government, schools, and the press. Jonathan Abrams has produced a book, All The Pieces Matter The Inside Story Of The Wire, in which he interviews cast and crew about the ground breaking former HBO series, whose popularity seems to increase as each year passes. Obviously, this is a book for fans of the show. The are some interesting anecdotes and insights into how the show was made and obstacles they faced to get five seasons for an HBO series with a low viewer audience. I enjoyed the look back at my favorite TV series of all-time.
Excellent behind the scenes look at the best show ever on television. Lots of contributions from all the major cast members (who are still with us) as well as insight on the driving forces behind the show. Highly recommended for Wire enthusiasts.
overall, the book is entertaining. Fans of the wire will enjoy the stories, particularly the off the set camaraderie among the cast. I would have liked to have seen more balanced reporting; the author leaned too much on Andre Royo, Michael K. Williams, and Wendell Pierce to name a few. Little from Wood Harris and other characters critical to show's intrigue. Author chose curious points of focus. Example, dedicates more time/analysis to the character Snoop than any other character. Snoop's a fine character but curious to dedicate that much ink to a bit character.

I'd recommend this with reservations that enthusiastic Wire fans temper expectations.
I just stumbled onto this book, but when I did, I had to read it. The Wire was my favorite show for years, and the kind of deep dive offered here was very valuable. Virtually the entire cast and a lot of crew provide an extensive oral history of the Wire, and I tore through it really quickly.

Quite often you come across articles and books that describe a creative work through the perspective of a writer, or a number of actors. The approach here is more broad-based, focusing on the look of the show, and it's relationship to the Baltimore community, as well as the up-front talent.

Any fan of the Wire,or anyone interested in how great TV is made, often despite the studios and networks, will find something of interest here.
