 It Really is an Enjoyable Read! August 23, 2008
I didn't believe that a law book could be fun either, but this one really is. Clear, concise, and (amazingly enough) entertaining, it explains the major concepts of Contract Law in a way that never threatened to drive me to drink or to sleep.
Phenomenal book for *anyone* interested in the law of contracts December 21, 2006

I am a failed law student. I went the first year and quit because I didn't enjoy the experience and knew the law profession was not one I wished to join. However, I came across, and kept, a few *phenomenal* books while I was in law school, books written in layman's terms that give a wonderful understanding of an area of the law, and this book is one.
Many of us don't have the time or money to invest in a personal lawyer to answer any legal questions. This book serves the role nicely. With its simple language and highlights of the major points of contract law, it will give good direction when seeking legal council.
What this book will not do is give you everything you need to pass a law school class. I know because I tried. But for the semester I did care, this book supplemented my text and the UCC very well and helped me get an A.
 Solid for common law, lacking for UCC November 15, 2006
5 out of 5 found this review helpful
If your prof is really focused on the UCC, this book is going to be a waste of your time. If you have a curmudgeoney old prof who has spent his whole life in academia and is more into contract theory/policy and common law, this book will get you an A without touching the casebook.
If you just want to do well in your contracts class without having to do a lot of reading, you would be better off using Examples & Explanations instead. If you are ambitious you could use both, but I think E&E is much better if you only have time for one supplement since it covers the code and common law.
I rated 3/5 because even though the book is a great aid for contracts, my prof was a hardcore UCC guy and it was pretty much useless for me. I would still have earned my B+ without this book, but I would have done worse without E&E.
Good Overview of Concepts November 6, 2006
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
The book delivers what it promises: a very succinct overview of Contracts law. I found it immensely helpful in understanding major themes in Contracts, and the book addresses many of the most popular cases found in the casebooks. My one complaint is that Prof. Chirelstien is sometimes a bit verbose at times. It often appears as if he looses sight of his audience (law students primarily) and tries to impress his colleagues in academia with his vocabulary and academic wittiness. I can get that in class from my own professors. That said, I think the book a very helpful guide to law students who are still fuzzy about the concepts after reading the casebook and going to lecture.
 OK...But not for a law students September 8, 2005
4 out of 10 found this review helpful
This book was ok. It won't help the 1L law students looking for an aid to help them supplement their readings. This book is just a glorified canned case book. Highly recommended for those CONSIDERING law school and want to read about contracts BEFORE they start school. Once your in law school, look for another source.
