4.0 out of 5 stars Interesting, but ultimately a little shallow, June 25, 2000
By 
This review is from: Taking Liberties: A Decade of Hard Cases, Bad Laws, and Bum Raps (Paperback)
This book is a compilation of articles by Dershowitz on legal and consitutional issues ranging from the exclusionary rule to the death penalty. The articles are indeed interesting and the opinion is sound. I have found Dershowitz to be a great author with his other works and his personal history is fascinating.

If there is a fault to this book, it is that the author tries to do too much. There are so many topics and articles that it is hard for Dershowitz to really explore any one issue or the intricate interconnections between facets of legal history.

If you find yourself with nothing to do on a Saturday afternoon, this book is worth a look. It is, indeed, a fun light read; just do not expect hard-core legal analyses.
