#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • NOW A NETFLIX ORIGINAL SERIES With a career, a boyfriend, and a loving family, Piper Kerman barely resembles the reckless young woman who delivered a suitcase of drug money ten years before. But that past has caught up with her. Convicted and sentenced to fifteen months at the infamous federal correctional facility in Danbury, Connecticut, the well-heeled Smith College alumna is now inmate #11187–424—one of the millions of people who disappear “down the rabbit hole” of the American penal system. From her first strip search to her final release, Kerman learns to navigate this strange world with its strictly enforced codes of behavior and arbitrary rules. She meets women from all walks of life, who surprise her with small tokens of generosity, hard words of wisdom, and simple acts of acceptance. Heartbreaking, hilarious, and at times enraging, Kerman’s story offers a rare look into the lives of women in prison—why it is we lock so many away and what happens to them when they’re there. Praise for Orange Is the New Black “Fascinating . . . The true subject of this unforgettable book is female bonding and the ties that even bars can’t unbind.”—People (four stars) “I loved this book. It’s a story rich with humor, pathos, and redemption. What I did not expect from this memoir was the affection, compassion, and even reverence that Piper Kerman demonstrates for all the women she encountered while she was locked away in jail. I will never forget it.”—Elizabeth Gilbert, author of Eat, Pray, Love “This book is impossible to put down because [Kerman] could be you. Or your best friend. Or your daughter.”—Los Angeles Times “Moving . . . transcends the memoir genre’s usual self-centeredness to explore how human beings can always surprise you.”—USA Today “It’s a compelling awakening, and a harrowing one—both for the reader and for Kerman.”—Newsweek

I know this review is late in the game but here goes.I bought the book, recently, because it was only about $7 bucks and I needed a few dollars more to get free shipping on my other item/s. I did enjoy the Netflix series and of course I didn't expect the book would be the same. I had even read some of the negative reviews a few years back, but I was curious and I thought, could it really be that bad. It was. For a woman with an Ivy League education she writes like a middle schooler, though not surprising as her maturity level demonstrated by her though processes don't seem to go much beyond that stage.Aside from being extremely boring, Ms. Kerman seems to think/act as if she's in (and winning) the title of most popular girl in school. She claims, near the end of the book, to have learned some life lessons and has transformed her perspective after spending a year in prison, but this sure isn't reflected in her attitudes in this book that was written post transformation. I was especially bothered that whenever she talked about other inmates she felt the need to describe them by their race or ethnicity, rather than as actual people these women were. They were so much more than Spanish Mamis, or large black women, or Italians, yet this is constant and repetitious throughout the narrative. When she refers to other white prisoners she manages to add adjectives to demonstrate that while they're indeed white, they are of a much lower class than she. This, to me, speaks volumes about who Piper Kerman really is. A woman who, though she claims otherwise, doesn't have a clue about her whiteness or the privelege that affords. Not only did she have the advantage of this privelege in getting top shelf representation and a relatively short sentence; her confinement was made easier due to access to money (commissary) and many regular frequent visitors. Unlike most of the women she served time with, many of them would go to homeless shelters and had few or no options, Ms. Kerman had a good job custom created and waiting for her. I'm sure that any one of the other inmates would have had a much more interesting story, but once out they were probably too busy trying to survive to be able to write their prison memoirs.Quite honestly, she claims that prison was horrible, and I'm not disputing that, but her experience seems pretty mild compared to horror stories I've heard about life inside prisons. I think she got off pretty easy, lucky for her.The picture (included here) of the author on the back cover kind of says it all; her pose, her body language, face thrust upward, seems to say I'm better than you.
