I only had to read the first ten pages to know that I had made the right decision in reading this novel, it tells a story that I could easily just watch on Netflix and be adequately in the know of the trendy Piper Kerman story. Kerman is an excellent writer and the story does not loose any luster the second time around because she paints such a vivid image of her experience.
Yeah I have already watched Season 1, my brother got me into it. He assured me that it's the kind of show I would enjoy. But all of a sudden the other day I had the urge to read the book, with all of the hype for Season 2 I just felt that it might enhance the new episodes if I had read the story as Piper Kerman intended it to be told.

I think it is important to support my fellow women, support the stories of other women. The world of entertainment doesn't always support stories with lead female plot lines and on top of that OITNB really dives deep into the facets of these women. Their stories are inspiring and so eye opening, it is truly a show that is pushing boundaries.
There are seven directors listed on IMDB and I am pretty sure only three of them are women. Out of the ten writers listed seven of them are women which are better stats and I am so glad the woman whose experience is being translated for entertainment has been on the writing staff for every episode.
I am not going to tell you anything, I am not going to be a spoiler but here is an article that talks about the real story; 5 Key Differences Between ‘Orange Is The New Black’ And The Reality That It Was Based Upon.

Yes sometimes I watch too much Netflix, and more times than not what I am watching has been directed by a man. So when a shows comes around that not only tells of layered women but also hires them as writers I am going to support that shit as many ways as I can. If you have Netflix give this show I click, give it a try whether you are a boy, girl, or gender confused - it is everyone's job to tell the world of entertainment that we need more stories about women, layered, dimensional women. We need more truth.
If you don't have Netflix give the book a try, if Orange is the New Black then books are the new magazines! :)
