Not up to West Hornbook Quality,
By
This review is from: Criminal Law, 4th Edition (Hornbook Series) (Hardcover)
I own all five first year West Hornbooks (Property, Contracts, etc.) and they all are a great help except for this one. It seems every time I have a question, this one doesn't have an answer. I love the other West Hornbooks, and after using the others, I just can't put this one in the same category for breadth, helpfulness or clarity.

The King of Criminal Law Hornbooks,
By
This review is from: Criminal Law, 4th Edition (Hornbook Series) (Hardcover)
This hornbook is the master work on substantive criminal law, frequently cited by all courts, including the United States Supreme Court. It analyzes all the questions that are not peculiar to a particular state. Where different views are presented by various states, that's covered.The hornbook weighs in on questions where there are differences of opinion, in numerous references to the "better view," without denigrating the positions that are not designated as the "better view." Anyone who orders this hornbook will be dazzled by the clarity with which it addresses a complex subject: substantive law.

Don't do it,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Criminal Law, 4th Edition (Hornbook Series) (Hardcover)
you are NOT going to read this along with your casebook. No way. Just get the E&E and the casebook, and go to class. you don't need this book unless it is assigned or you just enjoy learning from encyclopedic sources.
