Customer Review
Like all books you have to read it. This one can't be skimmed over very easily. Possibly because it is a law book. This book too was bought for college courses. Some things were confusing because I don't really follow laws or agree with them all the time. Was a good book to have and work through. The exercise questions help a lot.
