This review is from: The Growth of Criminal Law in Ancient Greece (Hardcover)

This is a rather easy book to read. As it is writtten in a freindly formate not sticking to bare stone cold facts. Although it can be difficult at times if you dont already have a base understanding of the subject. It makes many referances to other volumes that were used in the createing of the book throught it. But in a few sections in the early pert of the book use different languages such as germanic and actient greek style and text. So if you do not know how to read these parts there are some parts you will miss. But these are very minor points and does not take away form the read as a whole.
