Customer Reviews

A fantastically fun and informative read

I picked this book up as a gift, but found it to be so much fun and really informative. So I guess I'm buying a second copy! The examples are a blast to read, and actually make you understand the legal issues. This book shouldn't be stuck in a legal reference section - it's too much fun. I highly recommend this book for anyone (not just legal people) - and it makes a great gift!

Witty and fun

I liked the book a lot. The law bits are easily understandable and the case studies very amusing. The authors style is fun, informal and saucy. Also check out the author's picture, she's a cuty.

AWESOME

this book is really hilarious and lots of fun!! i'm learning all about law and i think this is the perfect gift book for your favorite law student!! the cases alone are worth the price--i luv the way the author has chosen clever names for the actual crooks. plus, it has all the information you think about about drugs seex and legal issues that real people think about, but never get up the nerve to ask. the best!
