There is just something about Veronica Mars that makes me a huge fan of the character, maybe it's the blatant way she thumbs her nose at the crooked authority in her town or her simple desire to seek out the truth. Which is why I'm eager to read this, it's filled with numerous essays about both the character and the show (well the first two seasons).
Reading this should be interesting to see how others view Veronica Mars.

Description:
Veronica Mars has won the hearts of a small but devoted fanbase drawn to Veronica’s class-torn hometown, where the high school landscape echoes adult patterns of power and privilege, and your best bet for justice is a teenage girl and her private detective father. The show is so snarky, so smart, and so savvy, that the detective show’s biggest mystery is why more people aren’t watching.
This collection of essays on the show’s first two seasons explores the noir roots of Veronica’s blond locks, and the sharp writing and killer plot twists that have catapulted Veronica Mars to the top of smart viewers’ must-watch lists.
