The negative reviewer is a disgruntled former student of this author who apparently has so little to do that he can still nurse his grudge via Amazon's review feature. He has done this for every book by this author.
This book is in its 4th edition, and it has sold many, many copies to satisfied readers. It contains a comprehensive index that makes it a useful addition to the bookcase (and briefcase) of any commercial lawyer.

The Uniform Commercial Code is a model code designed to allow the individual states to adopt those "ghost written" portions of contract law their legislatures are too lazy or bored to bother with.

Yes, I make a living applying the UCC as it has been incorporated in Chapter 400 of the Revised Statutes of Missouri, but this book is --at best--little more than a slim overview of a vast area: it is not suited to any meaningful use in a legal practice.

Make sure you check exactly which sections of the UCC will be in your book. For my commercial law class, most of our citations were found in the book but for the ones that weren't he allowed us to print out any unincluded sections and bring them to the exam.

Key: Make sure the portable version has what you need.

Like any portable or abridged version, this book gives all the information necessary to know where to continue looking or what options are not available. A great book for quick field reference.
