5.0 out of 5 stars Magical realism and the law, April 5, 2001

This review is from: Indiana Rules of Court: State and Federal, 2000 (Paperback)

Indiana's stark, unflinching and almost unbearably frank journey of self-discovery is among the most beautiful books I have ever read. The book's exploration of the magical realistic qualities of life, in which physical and intellectual impossibilities are overcome with a wink and a metaphysical shrug, and its almost fanatically methodical construction -- 3(b) invariably follows 3(a), and thereupon verges ineluctably towards 4 -- will change your life in ways that are, admittedly, imperceptible to you and everyone else. A book neither to be put down nor read, Indiana's monumental rules apply not only to court, but also to life, love, the pursuit of food and, to quote the author, "as otherwise provided by law."

A delicious romp, just the right mixture of suspense, pathos, romance and humor. Incisive, punchy writing, action-filled plot, memorable characters--this one's got everything! Bravo, Indiana! I can't wait for the next installment.

4.0 out of 5 stars rehash of the genre, September 22, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Indiana Rules of Court: State and Federal, 2000 (Paperback)

Quite frankly, I was a little disappointed - this author displayed great talent early in his career, but all of his works since the first have constituted an obvious desire to recapture the glory of his initial success, essentially by self-immitation. The characters and plot situations of Indiana Rules of Court: State and Federal, 2000, are virtually the same as those in the earlier installment in this series, Indiana Rules of Court: State and Federal, 1999. His latest work, Indiana Rules of Court: State and Federal, 2001, displays the same lack of originality, giving little further development to primary characters. Nevertheless, it's a good read to kill some time, and if you've read none of the books in the series, you can pick it up just about anywhere without feeling lost.
