Title: Disappointing
Review: Coverage-wise, the book does a good job.However, the book reads as if English is not the author's first language. Very difficult to divine the meaning when you first must translate poorly written sentences into something understandable, then proceed.As other reviews have pointed out, the organization makes reading this book a chore. Most topics are handled in the following fashion:"Common law does X; The modern approach is the exact opposite; States Y and Z do their own crazy thing."Although that is the nature of the subject, it becomes difficult to retain when categories are not precisely drawn (i.e. separate sections for separate approaches.) The information is certainly in there, but page after page of flip-flopping around between approaches leaves you wondering what was what.
Is the review positive or negative?
