Worst Examples & Explanations That I Have Ever Read,
By "toddbaker3" (Arizona) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Family Law: Examples and Explanations (Examples & Explanations Series) (Paperback)
As I read this book, I was under the distinct impression that the authors forgot about the deadline for completion and wrote it overnight. The editor of this book should lose his job. He should also be blackballed from the industry. I stopped counting spelling and grammatical errors within thirty minutes because I needed every ounce of concentration that I could possibly muster to read the unfriendly text. I have praised the Examples and Explanations series throughout my law-school career. However, I might actually be forced to burn this one and to pretend that it never existed. The authors omit important details and provide vague descriptions of important cases and points of law. Also, some sentences make no sense because words "switched positions are." The examples and explanations lack substance and imagination. Text explaining an aspect of law is immediately followed by an example and an explanation that repeats the text. Also, the authors used "P" and "D" as the names in almost every example. I am thoroughly disappointed with this book. I would suggest buying it only if you have no other options. I would wait for the second edition. Surely, Aspen Publishers cares about its reputation.

Clear explanation,
By Marcus (USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Family Law: Examples and Explanations (Examples & Explanations Series) (Paperback)
Another clear, concise explanation book from Examples series.
I had no problem studying my class with this book. If you want to go for another thick vague law book, look somewhere else. If you want clear explanation of fundamental concept (especially for law student), i recommend this book

Good book, long time coming!,
By Rhonda Mac (Florida right now) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Family Law: Examples and Explanations (Examples & Explanations Series) (Paperback)
I am so glad to receive this book and the problem was that most people don't know that just because you make it an expedited shipment, it doesn't mean that it is sent in an expressed way. I have been in contact with the shipper and, while she was sure to send it quickly, the method was in a media package so it came with usual mail, which, for Hawaii, already takes two to three weeks. Anyway, good shipper and good book!! Thanks!
R Mac.
