Description de l'ouvrage :
"A wonderful new book...excellent...outstanding work!" - Vince Gilligan Better Call Saul chronicles the transformation of a decent, likable guy named Jimmy McGill into Saul Goodman, the morally bankrupt lawyer we met on Breaking Bad. Captivating and funny, the show provides far more than a few binge-watched hours of entertainment, raising questions about the legal system and human nature itself.

Why You Better Call Saul: What Our Favorite TV Lawyer Says About Life, Love, and Scheming Your Way to Acquittal and a Large Cash Payout examines the many faces of our favorite fictional lawyer, as well as other characters in the Breaking Bad/Better Call Saul universe:

• Is Saul Goodman a persona that Jimmy invents to attract a particular kind of client, or does he reflect Jimmy's true self?
• To what extent does Jimmy/Saul bend -- or break -- the rules to which attorneys are bound?
• What do Jimmy McGill and Mike Ehrmantraut have in common with Dexter Morgan?
• What do Jimmy's most important relationships teach us about the effect of outside influences on one's psyche?
• How do Saul Goodman and Walter White break free of societal constraints?
• How does Saul manipulate the media in order to promote his legal services? Is he defined by his tacky advertisements?
• And much more ...

Revue de Presse :
"A wonderful new book... excellent... outstanding work!" - Vince Gilligan, creator of Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul

"Real-life attorney and pop culture writer Keslowitz provides Better Call Saul fans with the perfect excuse to obsess (continue obsessing?) about the series in the off-season with this book,which dives deep on analyzing our favorite members of the fictional Albuquerque legal community and their cohorts. The relationship between the McGill brothers, Kim's grifting exploits with Jimmy, whether or not the eventual, full-on transformation of Jimmy McGill to Saul Goodman truly reflects who Jimmy is are but a few of the thought-provoking questions the book raises, and the delights to be found in the chapter titled "From Kettlemans to Cobblers: A Critical Analysis of the Legal and Ethical Issues on Better Call Saul" will not only tickle you, but almost certainly spark a Season 3 -- and 1 and 2, let's be honest -- rewatch." - Kimberly Potts, Yahoo! TV
