Sons of Anarchy and Philosophy Brains Before Bullets George A Dunn Jason T Eberl William Irwin 0884725277974 Books Reviews

• While interesting overall, this collection has a few problems. There probably was an advantage to get into print while the series was still hot, but this means any observations are only based on the first five seasons, not the entire story arc. While like any tragedy you could see the end coming a discussion of some of the plot twists in the final seasons would have rounded out the essays.
  
  The second problem is some of the essays were redundant. Yes, it pulls from Hamlet. As Jax would say, "I get it." Yes, Gemma is manipulative and Tara slowly gets with the program. There is just so much you can say, and with that many independent authors they are going to step on each others toes.
  
  The third problem goes with the territory. A selection of academics are examining a fictional narrative. Sutter certainly tells a great story, but it still is a story and not reality. Still some of the insights are interesting, such as a mannerbund of pre-Socratic warriors. Nietzsche thought the Greeks were at the end of the line when they got to the niceties of Platonic philosophy so some good old mayhem is refreshing.
• A very interesting read that highlights many aspects of the outlaw life as illustrated in the show & contrasts them with the thinking of any number of classical philosophers. If you love Sons Of Anarchy but long to have a deeper understanding of the motivations of the characters & how those motivations relate...this book is for you. If you love freedom & want to know more about how other people view freedom & responsibility to themselves and their community...this book is for you! If you're a biker & want a different insight or "take" on how different philosophies might view the biker lifestyle...this book is for you!! If you're interested in any of these things THIS BOOK IS FOR YOU!!!
• I always enjoy these Philosophy and... books. The Sons of Anarchy one was excellent
• Each chapter is well written by professional philosophers that are SOA fans. If you are a fan of the SOA, this book follows the characters and themes with intriguing philosophical analyses. Some chapters are a bit better than others though. Leslie A. Aarons chapter “When a charming woman speaks” was a stand-out for me.
• My grandson thoroughly enjoyed this book.
• Wish it had season 6 and 7 but still a gem!
• I bought this book for a friend who is a true fan of with sons of anarchy! and he loved it because it a book about realistic events and how you feel about belonging in a real member of the sons of anarchy!
• Bought this for my fiance. He is obsessed with SOA. I looked though the book and loved that it gave more insight to the show and the book.
