A must have for any fan of Veronica Mars, the good people over at BenBella Books have given me the opportunity to give away up to five (5) copies of Neptune Noir: Unauthorized Investigations into Veronica Mars. I got my advance copy a couple days ago and will have a review of it up in the next couple days but here is a synopsis:
More than just a high school drama, Veronica Mars is a smart and savvy teen detective show that offers complex mysteries and rapier wit, engaging social commentary, and noir sensibilities—with the occasional murder thrown in for good measure. This collection, edited by the creator and executive producer of the show, offers supreme insight into the class struggles and love stories of the series. Essays by top writers intelligently address a multitude of questions such as Is Veronica a modern-day vigilante? Why is a show that features rape, potential incest, and a teen girl outsmarting local authorities so popular with America’s conservative population? and Why is Veronica and Logan’s relationship the most important story-driving factor in the show?
So know you know what you will be getting, here is how you can enter the contest to win yourself. There are three different ways you can enter to win:
1. Name your two (2) favorite cases that Ronnie has worked on over the three season of the show, you are not allowed to pick more than one mini or full arc mysteries, and in a hundred (100) words or less tell me why they are your favorites.2. For those that haven’t seen the show but want a good read, watch the first episode of the third season, Welcome Wagon, which you can download on iTunes or Amazon Unbox or stream it on MSN.com, and in a hundred (100) words or less, review the episode.
3. Link this contest on your blog or link it a message board (only one entry allowed per message board).
You can e-mail your entries to ScooterKSU(at)aol(dot)com (subject: Neptune Noir) or leave them here in the comment section (but if you leave a comment make sure there is an easy way for me to find how to contact you).

1. My first favorite case is Veronica trying to figure out who the Hearst Rapist was. And my second favorite case would have to be when Cassidy had Veronica spy on Kendel to see if she was cheating on his dad.

My all time favorite case that Veronica worked on was finding out who "raped" her. It really showed KB's strengths as an actress and we got to see a lot of versatility from both Duncan and Logan. That whole episode when everything went down was so intense. My second favorite would be when she had to figure out who had a crush on Meg. I just loved the 80's dance scene and that whole episode. I really liked Leo and Veronica together.
