2.0 out of 5 stars Almost Worthless, December 23, 2007
By Jean-Paul (Florida) - See all my reviews
This book is not in the same league as other E&E books. It is not very clear, the charts are confusing and some parts of the book give downright wrong information. If you have a teacher who emphasizes the MPC, this book is a total waste. Otherwise, it's a total mess. Do NOT use this book to teach yourself the course because some of the information is wrong and unless you already know the material well enough to pick out the bad information, you will be screwing yourself. I would not recommend this to anyone.

2.0 out of 5 stars Almost Useless, April 18, 2006
Unlike most other Examples & Explanations Series, this one is one of the worst I have read. Authors waste too much time on history of criminal law and MPC, and very little time explaining the law. Common law and MPC are not distinguished and characterized well, and no clear conclusions of law are given. The example are very plane, without exploring the variety and complexity of real-life problems. Unbelievably, only 35 pages are spent on homicide, the most common and complex problem in criminal law, and the examples and explanations for homicide are terrible.

5.0 out of 5 stars Pay attention to reviews/editions, June 28, 2005
I have analyzed a lot about the way these reviews work. It is important to pay attention to the review date, and the edition release up top.

You'll find reviews of older editions on newer editions pages which isn't fair.

All-in-all the newer editions are incredible. It is worth giving them a shot. I swear people go into these with the wrong attitudes--they want it all on a silver platter. If you want to be lazy and skip the learning that evovles through outlining yourself go ahead and get Emanuels. However if you like to work through problems, deepen your understanding, and practice, then go for these.

That's not to say Emanuels isn't any good, but I wouldn't use it for anything other than making sure all my ducks were in a row.
